Not exactly how it works. Four other bowls are contracted to take CUSA teams then the New Orleans bowl gets the 5th pick. Does not mean we get the 5th placed team.Quote:

I'll also make sure to find time to stop by Houston's on St. Charles and I'm in the market to try the Acme Oyster House for the first time. I'll have to find time for those between trips to Tropical Isle and Pirate's Alley.Quote:

30k CAJUN FANS
45k total fans
My comment is the same as above. CUSA number 5 means that bowl gets the "5th pick"...not the 5th ranked team in CUSA standings.
Me and junior will be there!
The record attendance is 30,228 in 2009 between MTSU and Southern Miss. While our opponent will obviously have a lot to do with overall attendance this year I think we surpass the record with ease.
There are many like myself that cannot make it to Cajun Field much if at all during the regular season (I live in California) who will fly in for this game. Since I have been a fan for a long time and have suffered through many games through the years while I lived in Lafayette, there is no way I miss this. I think this will be a "fan reunion" of sorts, and a lot of out of town Ragin Cajuns will show up.
Airfare from Bakersfield to New Orleans 400
2 nights in hotel 200
Airport shuttel 60
2 Bowl tickets 80
Seeing the Cajuns pay in the first bowl game in like forever; priceless :D
That's what I was thinking. 30,000 locals and about 10,000 old alumni and "New" fans.Quote:

No but you can "reserve" your ticket purchase through UL right now with a $30.00 down payment. Of course by Tuesday you will probably be able to buy tickets outright from UL.Quote:

Brock...Acme is overrated. But we're doing everything else on that list. Plus Central grocery, Juan's and fried dough. No sugar throwing
People do it but it isn't a great spot for that sort of thing. I recommend you ask here http://www.saintsreport.com/forums/Quote:

The only other team from CUSA that might be sent to N.O. would be SMU and that would be if the other bowls would pass on them because of geographic reason and SMU would be a good fit for N.O.Quote:

You may be able to buy tickets tuesday but they may not actually sell out right till Wednesday bc remember they have to fill all the pre-sold tickets which at last count a few weeks ago was 6,000 who knows how many they will have now that people are certain where we are going. I'm bringing 30 people and half or more have not been to one home game yet this season.
If you like tapas try Rio Mar for lunch. http://www.riomarseafood.com/Quote:

A good meal can be had without breaking the bank. I've never had the chance but Johnny's Po-Boys is a local favorite. Also a Muffallete at Central Grocery is around 10.00.Quote:

Also the lunch menus like at K-Paul's are around the 10.00 mark!
There's a renewed buzz around the UL Ragin' Cajuns football team this fall as first-year head coach Mark Hudspeth has led the team to an 8-3 record, a perfect record at Cajun Field and a postseason bowl berth. But the excitement isn't just ...
I feel there will be at least 30000 cajun strong. If they bring in a team that will bring people and the locals could be 50000.
