NEW ORLEANS — It has to be something, and it’s not only the beignets.

And NOLA (never heard that Big Easy crap before that movie) loves UL. Everyone here at the hotel, eateries and watering holes who worked either of the last two games raved about Cajun fans (several comments about generous tipping and unsolicited disparaging comments about the miserly habits of certain other fans).

Also, overheard some young locals standing along the fence at Jackson a Square where the parade ended discussing the band and fans. One asked the other what we (UL) were here for and the other mentioned the Bowl. The first kid then exclaimed "Man, they bringing it!"
