just finished the teleconference, took down a couple of notes for you guys....
Bowl Executive Director Brant Ringler:
USM AD Jeremy McClain
USM HC Jay Hopson
Tulane AD Troy Dannon
Tulane HC Willie Fritz
Tulane will be home, Eagles will be visitor
BR:
CUSA was going to be in
MWC was the bid, because of Hawaii getting another bowl, AAC Tulane became available
AFB: Full tribute to every branch of service.
2 regional opponents were really a key to putting this together.
JM:
This bowl checked a lot of boxes.
Geographic
Old Rival
Only college game on Sat Jan 4th
Really excited about bowl being involved heavily in the military
Not a big opportunity to make money,but more for exposure, match-up, TV, extra practice is a better value than the money we make from the bowl
JH:
Old CUSA Rivalry, upmost respect, local game.
Only game on will help recruiting
Late game date is not a big issue
Hattiesburg is a military town and this bowl is great for us.
Tulane AD Troy Dannon:
Everyone if fired up here, we have just signed a 4 year deal with Southern Miss
Tulane has only won 5 bowl games in 126 years, only 2nd time to go back to back, never won back to back bowls
WF:
Great opportunity, I feel like we are actually a better team than last year.
We ant to consistently improve and win back to back bowl games 1st time in history.
IT’s a compliment to out team that other schools are asking about my availabilty, but I have a great job at a great institution at the #1 destination city in the world.
Southern Miss has had success for a long time, don’t know much about them yet, but when I was head coach at Blinn CC, had a lot of kids go there.
