New Orleans Bowl: (FINAL) Tulane (21) vs. Louisiana (24)

[Hammer58]

Love the whiney-assed excuses WaveProf and FW are giving for their fans not being in the Quarter or their poor showing at their "parade" or the free concert at a Champions Square dissing Travis Tritt though their earlier post were playing up the festivities. Oh yea, and Pete Rachle's prediction of noise level and mass exodus of fans was off the mark. There was a mass exodus of fans but they were all weenies after the miss.

Just rolling in from the big easy but it wasn't easy. A w is a w.........

let's look at the positives for a second:

We broke another record for attendance (well, us and the 500 fans Tulane brought)

I've got a good feeling about Jalen Nixon. Kid's gonna be SOLID. I hope he has a good offseason.

Hunter Stover did a good job tonight.

Justin Hamilton is, and will forever be, a BEAST.

Back-to-back-to-back New Orleans Bowl Champions!!!!!

I was thinking we got several positives out of this game; 1) Broadway is back and should be even stronger next year, 2) We know who our backup is now (NIXON) he is solid under pressure, is a very good runner, doesn't fumble or throw ridiculous passes, let him work all year with the second team so he will be ready after next season, 3) Hunter is our field goal kicker until he graduates, Are you kidding me - he should have been our field goal kicker after Baer left. We still need another one to groom after Stover leaves. Congratulations to the red team. My son called me after the game and asked is the ESPN announcer in the tank for Tulane. My response was; it happens all the time. Sometimes I think we are just not sexy enough for ESPN. Winning solves a lot of our challenges way to Geaux Cajuns!

PS

My son said to me this game was kind of weird, Tulane was throwing up duck passes on fourth down and their receivers were catching them, their quarterbacks should have been sacked a million times and would get away, they did hustle on defense you have to give them that but if they would not have connected over and over on those fourth down ducks we might have beat them worse - Our fans deserve credit for being the 12th man tonight!!!

No. The Tulane RB that scored 3 touchdowns (deservedly) got MVP. Otherwise, I would give it to Cadona. More than anyone else, nobody's talking about Cadona's contribution, pinning Tulane inside the 5 twice near the end of the game.

That's the thing i thought we'd miss most from Brett Baer - pinning those guys inside the 5. Everybody remembers 'the kick," the "roly poly" onside kick, and all that. But most forget that Brett pinned FIU inside the five 5 times when we couldn't get anything done, keeping that magical run alive.

Glad to see Cadona do that.

And when did freaking Stover start being able to outkick Lou Groza? (Or whatever).

Honestly, his biggest plays came on scoring runs but 83 yards rushing is not an MVP type game.

I think Jay and Gerald got it right with "UL players split the vote."

I would have given it to Cadona and Stover, but I guess they only had one MVP helmet give out and they don't call it MVP's

Cadona came up HUGE in this game!! Also pretty neat Stover made that kick. To say I was nervous for him is an understatement.

Gotta say I couldn't believe their kicker missed. He "kicks a pretty ball," and will have an opportunity to kick in the NFL for many years.

So glad he missed that kick! I have no idea what would have happened in overtime..

____ that _____. And speaking of _______, little tuba Timmy, voice of Brokeback U, mctailgater and the rest of the Brokebacks can use a lot of Boudreauxs Buttpaste as well. Lots of not caring going on.
