[NewsCopy]

Randy Guillory says UL's bowl appearance has been long overdue, and it's renewed a sense of community pride.

"It's good to see people coming out that haven't been coming out for years — it's good to see people, from alumni and different generations, coming together to celebrate together," Guillory said with a grin. "The atmosphere is full of energy, excitement, and it's a time that is well-deserving for the Cajun nation."

In the river walk, about halfway down on the river side of the first floor, there is a hippy-themed store (can't recall the name) with a VW minibus in the entrance. Of course my five-year-old daughter was drawn in by all the flower power, where I discovered this gem by the cash register.

The other great trick for free parking at the Dome is to park on Earhart boulevard and then walk across the pedestrian bridge from Claiborne, over the railroad tracks, and then putting you down at the foot of the Arena on Girod Street. I've been doing it for years - and this area is getting safer now that Home Depot has opened and the B.W. Cooper projects have mostly been torn down.

I was just wondering for the ones that are watching at home. What is your pre-game meal today? I decided to fry Southern Kingfish, Spec-Trout, Sand Trout, Croaker, Redfish, fries, fried jalopenos, hushpuppies and sweet potato-potato chips. I cooked for 3 solid hours and enjoyed every minute of it knowing what is going to happen later tonight.
