Sad, isn't it? A bowl game is supposed to be exciting to the participants and the fans attending, not depressing.

Lack of leadership in the city, urban blight, and spending money the city doesn't really have to cater to special interests...pretty much sums up Shreveport. I remember when it used to be a nice, safe, southern city. Those days are LONG gone.

Its a crying shame there is no baseball in Shreveport LA. There had been a team there dating back to the 1800s. Shreveport dropped the ball in the early 2000s and let our team up and haul tail to Texas. Its been tumbleweeds ever since.

Yep. The old Shreveport Captains became the Frisco Roughriders in the early 2000's and still are today. I'm sure the ownership of that franchise has no regrets about making that move.
