PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

The only reason they do not carry more is that the University for so long has not offered more. They do have more p/g but they do have a wall full of red and white and always have. The owners there are big supporters of UL and neither one of them is an alum of the school. So please before you bash a local business that has always supported the Cajuns do a little more research.

Now yall are sounding like Henny Penny LSU fan. I think these guys will do well against whoever they play. On top of that, there would be a lot of TVs on watching UL play RGIII or Case Keanum.

There is no doubt that the Tv's would be on and I am all for us playing an at large AQ school. But we do not have the same talent on the field as Baylor. I would love to beat a team of that caliper but the odds of it happening wouldn't be in our favor. RGIII is a exceptional QB. We have struggle this year with mobile QBs. I want a match up with a pocket passing spread team....not lead by Case Keenum.

The same things were said when Boise played OU a few years back. The broncos out smarted, out played, out schemed and out coached the Sooners that night. Anything can happen when two teams step on the gridiron. I say bring on whoever!

i get what your saying but they are in the business of selling fan apparel, do they really have a choice? its not like a resteraunt flying a flag or catering to certain fans. They make their living off of selling those items. Not sure I would translate that into support.

Purdue will win this week over Indiana and give the big 10 an extra team........Purdue would travel fairly well. If CUSA can't fulfill it's slots.......Big 10 extra team would be welcomed as an opponent.

& Tech can go freeze in Boise with their 100 fans.

I did not mean to sound like I was bashing the owners personally. I am sure they are great people. Its good to know they support the Cajuns too! I was just sharing my thoughts about their choice to have twice the amount of tigger gear than Cajun gear. It is odd to me that the Advertiser chose to interview the owners of this store rather than all of the other stores that sell the local colleges apparel. That's why I asked if Cajun fans actually shop there

[ULshooter2491]

If you can't make it to Lafayette anytime soon where is a good place to find UL gear online? I can't wait to buy some NOLA Bowl stuff!

I sure don't. Maybe someone else on here would know of a good website though.

@Cajunmarine. I can only speak for myself in saying this but I wasn't taking a shot at La hot stuff. I was expressing that in my dealings with them that I have never found what I was looking for in their store. Take it for what it's worth.

Sorry Shooter, but I have to disagree with your premise that this team doesn't have the same calliber talent as Baylor. I don't think anyone knows for sure, including our coaching staff just how good our talent level is. The truth is this coaching staff was expirementing well into the season with our offensive unit. Then just about the time Blaine really started to establish himself as the offensive leader with Peoples, LG, Harris, Surgeant, & Lawson stepping up, Gauthier started getting knicked up & Qyen got the concussion. I don't think this team, with the exception of beating FIU & MTSU on the road has really had an opportunity to play its best ball this year. Add to all of that our kickers have had their problems with injuries. This bye week is critical & would have been much better to have had it a few weeks earlier in the year, but coming the same week as the Cajuns getting invited to the NO bowl & during the Thanksgiving Hollidays will be huge for these guys. I think we get to see these guys play a great couple of games at the end. This team has some very good football left in them no matter who they play.

they told me on the phone today at the ticket office that you would not be able to select that they would begin filling from the center out with the deposit seats then move on from there.

not sure if this is accurate but, just what i was told. if anyone has any insight i would appreciate it.

thanks

Were you checking out LG's crotch when you noticed that? LOL

Hah a um NO .I was checking out his knee so he wouldn't kick here in her baby bump. Then I saw the cameraman with two cameras and wondered what is he aiming at? Oh his crotch. Then I wondered what is preggo staring at? Can't tell her head is hidden by his crotch. Then I though careful that is how you got preggo in the first place. I hate explaining my knee fetish.

I agree that we have yet to see this teams full potential. Also though this team still has areas that need to be improved to compete repeatedly with the AQ's. We need the offensive line to step up and we need the front 7 on D to do a better job of stopping the run. We can critique and deal in hypotheticals all day. One thing everyone should be able to agree on is that it's been a hell of a year and that we don't want it to end!
