Any bowl game is a good bowl game in the first year with a new head coach. Extra practice for the team is always good, and you have a great chance to end the season on a high note.

I don't mind Shreveport that much. I know people say it is a dump, but there is gambling, drinking, and a good time to be had. What more do you need?

I'd take it in a second at this point.

This... Heck I'd take the New Orleans bowl for a re-match with ULM...

I'd love it, but we aren't going to win 3 more games this season unfortunately.

Gonna have to beat Auburn and MSU. At home I like our chances. Other than that, we have to split Carolina and Ole Miss, which is asking a lot.

not seeing that .

I genuinely like Hogs' chances at 6 wins- Auburn, Miss, Miss State with open dates to prepare for them. South Carolina is such a huge game this weekend.

IF any team we have left have a QB that can throw the ball, not well, not far, just physically capable of throwing a FB, then winning those games is going to be tough.

No way this team wins 6 games.

Shreveport is fine with me. You gotta crawl before you can walk and you gotta walk before you can run.

Also, I don't get why people think we're not going to beat Auburn, Ole Miss, and Miss State. Those are very winnable games. Just because we didn't beat the SEC's best offense and the SEC's best defense doesn't mean we can't win an SEC game.

I like our chances against MSU, but I'm extremely iffy on Auburn and South Carolina, and I'm starting to see Ole Miss as a loss.  I think the blueprint on how to beat us is pretty simple: throw it as often as you can.  Our defensive line can stop the run, but our pass defense can't stop anything, and it's not something we can scheme around because our linebackers aren't good in coverage.  Heck, Florida isn't even a passing team and they threw all over us. 

If I'm an opposing coach, I'd throw every down against us and go for it on 4th down every time unless I'm inside my own 35.  If I'm an opposing AD, I'm firing my coach in the locker room immediately after the game if he tries to run it more than 5 times in the first 3 quarters.

HAve you not seen the hogs pass defense the last 3 games?

Auburn's passing offense is 103rd in D-1.
Ole Miss' is 67th in D-1.
Miss State's is 54th in D-1.

They're not going to be slinging the ball over our heads.

And yes, I've seen our pass defense. I've seen our pass defense get torched against the most prolific offense in the league and I've seen our pass defense whiff on two plays against Florida at the Swamp. Auburn, Miss State, and Ole Miss are not on the same level as A&M and Florida.

And what was Florida's?

I don't think you're understanding the fact that you don't have to run the air raid offense to beat this secondary.  If I'm an opposing coach of *any* team, I'm throwing every down against the Hogs until they stop it consistently.  Florida tried to run early against us and couldn't get anything going, but they were doing a pretty decent job of passing the football (and they're about as far from a pass-oriented offense as it gets) and decided to stick with it, and it's what beat us. 

Rutgers did the same thing last year -- Flood tried to run in the first half, but when they realized they could pass, they did it extensively and it's how they won the game.

Funny you would say that, La tech turned down the Independence Bowl last year because they didn't want to play ULM.  Instead LA Tech had to sit at home while Ohio beat ULM by 5 touchdowns.

I have no problem with bowling in Shreveport, because it will give us access to North Louisiana recruits!!!!    AU is trending up, Ole Miss is having some problems on offense and Misstake is a mess.    Ole Miss as to play aTm this weekend and that will tell us a lot about OM.

Petrino left a mess and Bielema is trying to fill in the talent gaps.  Anderson finally has some talent to work with.  He needs more at select positions and that will come in the next recruiting class.

if the hogs are bowl eligible, you can bet the house the liberty bowl will take them.

I'd push going to the Toilet Bowl if it gave us extra practice time.

And I'd set in the toilet to watch it too.

If Arkansas can beat SC this week, I believe the only way we get 6 games, would be to beat the Miss teams.  Auburn is playing real good ball right now.  But yes, if Arkansas can pull 6 wins, I'll take any bowl this year.

No. Shreveport is a complete dump.

I have my reservations about our ability to make a bowl.  The equation for beating the hogs is to lockup and cheat the safeties.  Brandon & our wideouts must be able to stretch the field.  If not. He might be on the injury list again.  Until this happens I think we only win a couple more...maybe.  I know I sound like Debbie Downer.  But, if you look at all our games that we have lost...defenses always adjust mid 2nd Qtr. or halftime....and it works.

From my understanding after winning 10 games they were waiting for an invite to a better bowl.  Which is understandable after playing ATM tight that year.

Shreveport is better than nothing.

We really need the extra practices that comes with playing in a Bowl Game.

MrThunderhog

you take what you can get. I just cant see winning 3 more games.
What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' *******, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

Shreveport would be solid. For instance, we could go down there and stomp Texas in Mack Brown's final game!

SO . CAROLINA , OLE MISS , MSU , and Auburn are all beatable and are more in line with us talent wise . we are getting better but were over matched by Florida in talent . Also a few bad breaks and calls killed this team mentally. A&M has the firepower to go against anyone . we got behind and had to play away from our strengths . the pick 6's in both games killed our team . we were in both games till that point . Mentally we aren't a good team yet . adversity against good teams takes them back to last year and they quit competing .

THe liberty has been upgrading and getting ready to up their payouts for the future.  THey now have suites, a great tailgating area with lighting and heating if you know who to ask :)  New Turf, new Big Screen, much better bowl and AR will not drop through the Liberty to the Port!  If.. IF WE WIN 3 more... big IF

I don't expect us to beat SC but if we did, then 6 is possible.  We do play better at home and that is about all thats on our side right now.  If any team gives us their best shot, I think that team beats us.  I do not believe we are just better than anyone left on our schedule.
