The area is fine during the day. Having spent a lot of time for work in the New Orleans area since the pandemic started, it starts to get rough around sundown. The city reeks of marijuana and the cops could not give a ____ less if people are lighting up right in front of them. Personally I stay away from the quarter but I won’t blame anyone for wanting to be in the middle of the action. Just be careful at night and be aware of your surroundings, just like it’s always been in New Orleans.
…….,I guess I have a really different take on the NO Bowl……I’m recruiting and as I go through our schedule with the future Cajun telling him of our schedule and ending up with a Bowl mostly in NO where it is a treat for the team and so our Cajun Nation can come and enjoy and celebrate another great year…and remember the recruits from all over Louisiana and Mississippi can visit to see us practice and see the fan support…NO is a great destination no matter whom we play……and how about dem Cajuns?????
Heading to NOLA Friday and staying at the team hotel. Friday night party is at Mardi Gras World so I hope there’s a shuttle from the hotel because I’m definitely not driving anywhere. Where we meeting Saturday morning to start drinking? Can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning!
Guys like PT, Juluke, Des, and Leger had contracts that expire on January 14, 2023. I'm sure some of the other coaches have similar contracts, but I could not locate that information.
Assistant coaches do have buyout provisions. However, in the cases for guys mentioned above and that are heading to UF, they satisfied their contract by coaching in the CCG.
I heard a statistic somewhere that if you separate New Orleans from the rest of the State, we automatically jump to 21st in the country for education from 49th.
We love Hilton Riverside. Self parking tower, walking distance to Quarter and Aquarium and connected to the Riverwalk.
Unfortunately NOLA is a very different city since the pandemic, and peaceful protests. Shootings in the busiest parts of the French Quarter are fairly common. It simply didn’t happen back in the Hud era.
How come tickets are more expensive through the university? $65/each before fees vs. $40/each on Ticketmaster.
It's not the bowl to me. the New Orleans bowl is an incredible venue. People can crack all the jokes they want about New Orleans. It is still a major destination city & the Superdome is still one of the greatest stadiums to host a major venue anywhere in the world. You have thousands of hotels, restaurants & clubs plus the stadium all within waking distance of each other to boot. It's the opponent which doesn't excite me all that much. I wish we could have gotten the Hillbillies, or the Roadrunners, Houston, or a P-5 team as an opponent. I would have enjoyed playing Arkansas, or MSU. Marshall is not better than WKU. UL should wipe the field with those guys.
