PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[jllanclos]

And the bowl has known this for the last 10 years!!!

In all fairness, I'm not sure a 6-6 team, even with Tyrell Fenroy and the gang, would have generated this much buzz for a bowl game. It's all coming together at the right time. I wish they got their much-deserved bowl trip. But overall, it's coming together at a magical time.

Not anymore. Check out Newcopy thread concerning the 3rd level. It is now officially open!

Yes...opened for the first time in N.O. Bowl history.

The very first football game I remember watching on tv was Wyoming vs lsu back in the day. I didn't know the rules at that age so when Wyoming scored a touchdown and got 6 points, then lsu scored a touchdown and got 7 points ... well let;s just say I learned my lesson at an early age.

Ok, we've done pretty well so far ... now for the important question; can we party in the dome?

Oh yeah, see everyone there!

I wonder if they will extend an invitation to UL during this game for next year's game?

So I just hit up ticketmaster agin, looks like SDSU will have a very small crowd. If you put in you want 4 tickets you can get them on in section 114 I believe it was, this is on the 50 yard line right behind the SDSU bench. We should put the redzone in this area like we do at home. I also put in to try and buy tickets in the third level and it looks like it isn't open yet.

We're gonna rock the $#@#!* outta the 'Dome!!!

Thats a beautiful thing.

A very beautiful thing! Think our resume is starting to look pretty good to 35 bowls?

If VT doesn't pick it up maybe we get an invite to come back and play Michigan ... that would be sweeeeeeeeeet!

That idea cost Dinkens the election and Lloyd Braun his job.

Bonus points to you.

Very nice.

With all 18,000+ of its allocated tickets sold, UL is making quite a splash into the Bowl picture. According to Scott Farmer, this should put UL into the top 10 (out of 70 schools) in bowl ticets sold. The New Orleans Bowl is a great thing for UL, and even though the game hasen't yet been played, I'm sure the NO Bowl Committee is already looking forward to extending our next invitation!

The next BIG test for UL fans will be when UL is selected by another Bowl and our fans will have to travel a more significant distance. I suggest we start saving a few pennies so that when that time comes (and it will come) we can make another part of the country shake their heads in amazement!
