PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[IHateLaState]

Just picked up my 11 tickets yesterday.... The Ticket Office had a sign that said

"Please be patient with us.... We have waited 40+ years" or something like that

For a frequent critic of the Administration (PRIOR ADMIN) I do want to give them some slack... I think next year they will be better at handling things.. This was their first time so lets give them a bit of slack... I am in the endzone... Who cares... Its been 40 years and I am damn happy to be anywhere and see the Vermillion and White running out onto the floor of a bowl game...

There have been some bad advice in this thread. Mothers ??? Deanies ??? Really ... You guys deserve better ... This is a list that I sent out via email to a few friends who are coming in today and tomorrow for the week:

French Quarter: Casual Places - Stanley (for breakfast/brunch) This is a MUST, Central Grocery for a muff, Johnny's Poboy, Gumbo Shop, Cafe Du Monde

French Quarter: Nicer Places - GW Fins, Bayona, Stella, K-Pauls, Irene's, Mr. B's, Pelican Club, Galatoire's (If you would like an AWESOME long Friday lunch experience - Get in line by 9:00am or pay someone to wait for you)

Good morning Ragin Cajuns fans!! Good luck this week!

As always, great breakdown. It's really great to see one of our own doing so well. Just to add to your assessment, I said it before, I think more important that shutting down Hillman will be pressure on Lindley. He's had some rough games this year, and stats have bore out that when he is under 50% completion percentage, the chances of his team winning go down dramatically (he's 2-3 when under 50% and 6-1 when over). I think our ability to cover his WR's in man coverage with our superior DB's will allow us to send some extra guys to the backfield which should slow down Hillmans production as well.

Am I the only one that genuinely hates the name Peppa Pit? It sounds so terrible. All it makes me think of is our Pepper logo, which is the worst logo the University has to offer. Whomever decided to add a pepper in our logo needs to be shot.

Johnny's poboys for me. Love it

Putting things in perspective:

18000 is more than double what any Sun Belt school has sold in the past.

You can expect a crowd in excess of 40,000 for the game.

Because I usually credit what you say as more than just a wild guess, how do you break down the other 22k?

Just curious.

Thanks

The Ragin' Cajuns are expected to arrive at the New Orleans Marriot in the 500 block of Canel Street at 3:30 this afternoon. Their opponents, the Aztecs, will arrive at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside on Poydras Street several hours later at 9 ...
