Bowl Season: Louisiana vs Delaware

Cajuns Football
41

The HC and OC for Delaware have a history of big offense. Their passing game will give us fits. For us to win it will take a lot of offense. With that said bc all the stats point that way, itā€™ll probably be a 13-10 type game.

Bunch of us are staying at the Admiral Hotel in downtown Mobile.

Thereā€™s a positive. Appeal with the Sunbelt office?

Id imagine so.

Fans going to the game should be buying tickets through UL Ticket Office. I dont know if there is a price difference but as I understand it, it make a difference on our bottom line in one form or another.

I stopped buying from UL the last few bowl games bc I got much better seats by not going through them.

I always buy through UL, but I understand the sentiment.

After getting terrible seats a few times, we decided it wasnā€™t worth the price to do it.

I think there will be plenty of room to move around, and I donā€™t know if the City of Mobile gives out tickets to the new stadium like they used to in the old stadium. I sat next to a local at one Mobile bowl and he said that locals could get as many tickets as they wanted just so the stadium would look better on tv.

Careful ask @ULvictory about the last time we tried to buy tickets at the gate for this game.

Weā€™d buy ahead of time but not through UL. Unfortunately I canā€™t make this trip. If it was the next week weā€™d be there.
