Just wondering what the NO Bowl will call us when we get the official invitation tonight. Will it be LOUISIANA/UL or Louisiana-Lafayette or UL Lafayette? I certainly hope it is LOUISIANA/UL, obviously, and that will help to give us statewide acceptance of the name. But, whatever it is, it's great to finally be in a bowl game.

The N.O. Bowl rep was at the get together tonight and referred to us as Louisiana-Lafayette.

He almost dropped it. He just needs a little schooling. He'll get it.

Just call us winners!

The tickets being sold today and for now until all the reserve tickets are assigned will only be for general admission. I talked to one of the guys handling the ticket sales. They will begin calling tomorrow until all pre-sale orders are filled.

Ok, I'm an RCAF member and did not reserve tickets. Where do I stand..can I still get tickets ahead of non RCAF Members without having to wait in the back of the line?

As a teacher in Baton Rouge, any time that a student or co-worker mentions UL, they call us "Lafayette"... Not UL-Lafayette... just Lafayette. Its a problem, and bowl exposure of the names "UL" and "Louisiana" are a must.

Paul Valteau and Billy Ferrante have been involved with the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl since it started in 2001, and they’ve passed out official invitations 20 times during that 10-game span. But neither had seen anything like the reception they got ...

Leeman, you may very well be behind the first line but in front of the second line. Those that had faith and put down a $30.00 non-refundable deposit should be rewarded for their early commitment. But the reality is that I'm not sure where you might stand in this situation!

Since you are a teacher, it appears you need to do a little better job of educating those little people on the other side of that big bridge 60 miles east of here!!! LOL!!!

Someone mentioned Houston not getting into the BCS because of Boise St. Houston would get an automatic bid if they stay undefeated... its not a choice, its contractual. Only way for Boise St. to get in is as an at-large, which won't happen. They did not win their conference.

Most of my co-workers here in BR call us "U.L.L.", Oh La La, or just "Cajuns" to be honest. Never get called UL or Louisiana by the locals.
