PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[moorecajun]

is it ok if I still worry for all ya'll then?

Yes, JB, you may do the worrying ... I am ok now that I see our admin is stepping up (again) big time! If Hud leaves us, it is definetly not because we didn't try to keep him!

I learned a long time ago not to worry about anything I had no control over; it is now out of our control.

That is a classy move on behalf of SDSU and their fans. I think R&L Carriers should supply them with a t-shirt for the NO Bowl gameday and neither side should exploit them and turn this gracious act into anything more than a gracious act.

You can call it what you want. I guarantee you in two months if a UL coach is sitting in the home of a potential recruit from a part of New Orleans where those tickets are given out & that recruit is being courted by SDSU or anyone else for that matter. One of the first questions from mom, grandma, auntie, or whoever will be that they remember UL playing SDSU in this game & what SDSU did for them or someone in their family. What did UL do?

Wow a college with some class, not really used to seeing that. I'm really impressed. Hopefully they keep that class when we tourch them on the field...

[Turbine]

Are you kidding? You know how many future recruits could be in that crowd? We ought to get these kids UL hats & shirts to go along with their tickets. I mean its the only right thing to do.

The NCAA busted Bustle for giving his own players a "T-Shirt".

Can you imagine?

According to one report, SDSU will be invited to join the Big East (thats like a team from Louisiana in the Western Athletic Conference...thats dumb!) along with Houston, SMU, Boise, and UCF. That would mean that we "kind of" got our wish and will be playing a Big East school in the NO bowl.

[CajunRed]

Soooooo.....I guess they will play in the "western" division of the Big East.

[TuffGuy84]

Yup...just like La Tech plays in the Eastern Division of the Western Athletic Conference. This realignment stuff is dumb.

UL won... that's what they did. And they did it with a raging crowd that will also be back here to see you play in the NO Bowl someday. Oh, and if you need free tickets to the NO Bowl... how much are you saving up to go to San Diego to see your son play, mom? Are you going to purchase the full suite of college football access so that you can watch SDSU play? How about you just take a Saturday drive to Lafayette with the rest of the family and watch your son play? And then... how cool is it when UL comes back to the NO Bowl, again, and all of your friends and family get to watch him play? Now... back to your son coming to UL to play football.

These tickets are being paid for & given by people that aren't attending the game ... and they are being given to kids, not any potential recruits.

What the KIDS will see when they get in the dome is a HUGE UL crowd ... THAT is what they will remember.

It is a classy move by some SDSU fans ... that is something I will remember.

Probably the North Division. :<)

Time to strap it up tight.

BTW it is at about the 221 spot!!!!

I think it was mentioned in another thread, but wanted to let everyone know that Alberston's on Johnson has a nice selection of bowl T-shirts (short and long sleeve, few different styles) much better then either Academy. I spoke with the manager who wondered over after seeing me with an arm full of red shirts, he said they were making the shirts locally and were selling them like hot cakes. Was nice seeing a sea of Red drown out the Purple and Gold for a change!
