I hope you didn't expect the AD's Office to work without doughnuts ?

I’ll just wait. A $15 application fee for one ticket is ridiculous.

I've also secured a room in New Orleans from the 14th-16th.

FYSA -- We got the last room on Saturday night the 16th at The Provincial.

Are we really going to get that much of a demand for bowl tickets by fans to where we need to reserve them up front?

Yes, we could have some great crowds depending on the bowl location, but to think that they would all be gone in a hurry requiring reservations is pushing it.

Or this is their official way of determining which bowl game would be better attended by Blazer fans. Talk is cheap, reservations aren’t.

That is a possibility.

I was going to try and pull up the bowl reservations to see which ones were listed, however I never got the email that was sent out.

Outside of any bowl inside Alabama I would guess New Orleans or Shreveport would be the heavier attended bowls.

All the bowls with C-USA ties were listed. Including Shreveport Independence Bowl.

Had to pull up the distances, but New Orleans is closest, Shreveport would be potentially the better date & opponent.

Bowl applications aka "ticket pre-sales" are a vital measurable when presenting your case to a bowl.

For example:

La Tech reserve 10k tickets through a presale for the New Orleans Bowl and we only reserve 2k then we probably won't be going to NOLA
