I think most of you will be pleasantly surprised by the exposure and talk of Troy in NOLA. Bottom line is that wins get you ranked. Not ratings or exposure. I think many of you put way too much emphasis on all that.
As far as players, they will certainly be on Bourbon Street at some point. And I know we fans will. It's the best bowl we've ever played in. I love it.

A 10-2 Conference Champion gets probably the least prestigious and least watched bowl. I'm thankful that we're going bowling at all, but this does nothing to advance Troy University other than giving people a good time.

We will just have to agree to disagree. This was my #1 wish of a bowl.

I have a feeling that many of our players want to go to NoLa. After all, a bowl game is a reward for them. NoLa is a win-win for player and fan alike. Everyone should just enjoy the fact that we have a 10 win regular season and we are conf champs! Fair point on where the players want to go. As far as this fan is concerned? Meh

Just a thought ... given our win at LSU ... I bet we get a bit more attention/press than in the past, since it is NO ..LA! They remember us for sure!

I've never really been a fan of nola but I'm going to try and go to give it a chance. But would love to see this bowl moved to Nashville, Atl or Huntsville as someone mentioned to me recently. Worse thing other than time slot is it's the home of the aints. Did Atlanta play today? Just curious.

Sorry, that’s was for chattvalley Waiting to hear if Huntsville has a place to play a D1 bowl game and if Atl was able to win today A fellow troy grad mentioned Huntsville to me. Thinking it could offer more geographical option than nola. Lots to do in hsv. Show off RSA, NASA space and rocket center and much more. But until they build the new minor league stadium nothing and that's a maybe if it could handle the crowd. I had a feeling Atl was going to have a bad year before the season started. Nope we didn't. Have your boys Thursday night.
