met a couple this morning at Legends who were from Charlotte and on their way to the game.. they had spent the night in Baton Rouge and are sleeping tonight in Beamont.. in any event they had stopped at the Lafayette visitor's thing i believe and they wanted to know where they might be able to watch the "basketball game" (UNC i would guess) and were told to go the Legends (yes smiles all around on this).. although we made them go back towards Baton Rouge so they could swing thru Breaux Bridge.. so they could see all this type "celebration" for their hero in his hometown.. was a neat experience.. all around..
thanks for the pictures so i know will also know what they will find there..

HOUSTON - Notes, quotes and mediocre thoughts from Super Bowl XXXVIII week:

• Nicest scene: After a Carolina media session, Jake Delhomme stood in a hotel lobby filling every last autograph request. He was dressed like a college kid in jeans, sneakers, windbreaker and baseball cap, and he looked as grateful to be there as fans were.

HOUSTON -- From the moment Jake Delhomme stepped into the huddle for his first play as quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, some of his teammates knew things were going to be different.
The Panthers already knew that Delhomme, who was signed by the team last spring, was confident in his abilities because he had left the New Orleans Saints to try and become a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Confident? Yes. But they might have thought something else, maybe that he was a little crazy when he took over for starter Rodney Peete in the second half of the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Panthers trailed 14-0 when Delhomme finally got his shot, but the five-year veteran acted like it was the other way around.

"He came running into the huddle," recalled wide receiver Steve Smith, "and acted like we had a chance to win."

"I thought we did," said Delhomme.

Little did Smith or any of the Panthers know what would happen in the coming weeks and months.

Aided by one of the best running games in the NFL and a solid defense, Delhomme and the Panthers not only came back from that early season-opening deficit, they made it all the way to Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Delhomme started the comeback after the Jaguars extended their lead to 17 points midway through the third quarter. Two touchdown passes, a field goal and a safety later, the Panthers had an 18-17 lead.

But Delhomme's legend was just beginning to grow. After the Jaguars regained the lead, Delhomme led his team to the game-winning score, which came on a fourth-and-11 pass to wide receiver Ricky Proehl with 16 seconds left.

Final score: Panthers 24, Jaguars 23.

"When Jake came into the huddle, he said, 'Hey, we're not going to win this game with one play, but let's keep pounding away at this and let's get this thing going,'" said wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad. "That just gave everybody a big boost.

"That lifted the whole team up," he said. "Once we had a little burst of energy, I think we thrived off that. He led us down the field on another touchdown drive and we kept building more and more confidence."
