[Just1More]

No "white-out"!!! I wouldn't mind red from head to toe.

Somebody show me the wormhole that gets you from Lafayette to New Orleans in a hour!

Awesome that he said Louisiana! We will have our hands full with that team....

I watched the replay of the SDSU-Fresno St. game this morning on CBSSN. Good offense, QB is solid and appears to be a good leader. Speed at rb and receiver. Hillman, the running back likes to bounce it outside and when he gets to the corner he is very fast. Fresno St. defense was not very good, not a lot of speed in front 7. Defensively Derek Carr of Fresno shredded Aztec secondary. SDSU ran a 3-3-5 defensive set and the front three were ok but not anything special. Heat was brought on QB mostly thru lb blitz. Backers run well but secondary can definitely be exploited. Of course this opinion is based on watching one game but I think that if we play up to our abilities, not let rb Hillman have a breakout game, we can definitely win this game. It could be a very entertaining game.

We are getting there Friday afternoon. Gonna hit Deanie's for supper....then what?

Need a unofficial official UL spot. Will it be Pat-o's like the old Tulane game days? Or Walk On's?

I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas. I want to leave now!

Will Boomer be hitting the piano @ Pat O's?? If so, when? We'll cheer HIM on!

We'll be in as soon as the hotel lets us check in on Friday. As far as Friday night, we were thinking about hitting up some of the uptown "nicer" watering holes, saving the nastiness for the post game celebration. I know where I'll be Saturday morning... CAFE DU MONDE!

I know the Nola Bowl is officially hosting a FREE concert for Friday night in Spanish Square (at the end of Poydras overlooking the river). And that concert will be a hell of a lot of fun, Rebirth Brass Band will be opening followed by the GIVERS. The GIVERS are straight out of Lafayette and they are probably one of the funnest live bands you will ever witness, whether you are familiar with their music or not. This is a must attend. Lafayette taking over New Orleans for the weekend!

Just got back from the dome this morning. Our seating will be great. I walked over to my section 143 and all is good. As an FYI for those sitting higher. I sat in 543 last night in the first row and it was as close as the first row of the upper deck at Cajun Field. Not a bad seat in the house(unless you choose to sit way at the top).

Still waiting on my 18...weeks on end...and counting...
