PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[Lexhead]

Great list.
On the personal side I have a couple
Ann and Calvin.

Some of those years were lonely in the upper deck. Sitting there staring down at the brown barely painted field trying to
get the number of the bus that hit us.

I thought of BJ Landry. As a player, he was a daily reminder to me of what it was to live with pride in this program. I can guarantee that Beej was doing a little dance in heaven yesterday.

WKU will get the invite Saturday evening to the GoatDaddy.com Bowl. It's being held in Bhaaa County, West Virginia.

That's a baaaad joke ... it's humor like that that really gets my goat!

This article is a year old, but it illustrates the importance of purchasing New Orleans Bowl game tickets directly from UL's ticket office. It becomes clear that the fans need to participate in the Bowl experience "Big Time" in order for their school to be in the Black after expenses. Let's get after it "Cajun Fans"!!!!!

Heck...I think I've enjoyed reading some of these comments as much as I did reading the article itself.

See y'all in New Orleans!

The Mid-American Conference had negotiated an agreement with the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl where their school’s payout was based solely on how many tickets it could sell, Ohio University Associate Athletic Director Dan Hauser said in an interview.

The Athens, Ohio, school received 10,000 tickets valued at $450,000. It sold 2,181 tickets, generating $98,150, for a game in Detroit about 278 miles north, at 1 p.m. the day after Christmas.

Since its expenses were $164,464, the school lost $66,314 playing in the game, according to university records.

“There was a cost, but this is our business,” Hauser said. “We’re about getting kids to the postseason in every sport, men’s and women’s. And they all cost money.”

I hope the New Orleans Bowl gives UL more tickets than 10,000.

Thank you Jay. Im a long way from Cajun land tonight and that was a great way to get connected back home. That is one great article.

Love the article Jay. It really brings it home to reflect on those who so loved the Cajuns and will join us in New Orleans in spirit only. I hope this is especially sweet for those that contributed so much of their heart, energy and time in the many tough years leading up to this. The old and the new join together as one big Cajun family to celebrate this momentous occasion. How sweet it is.
