PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[anhil8tor]

Anyone else have this extra pop in their step? This extra wide grin on their face? Anyone else thinking about that highlight film from last night? Anyone else remember the game against ULM Nov 21, 2009? The rainy weather... the win!

So many memories going through my head today. Wow.. sitting back and enjoying the day.. savoring the moment. I can't wait for December 17th...

Why are tickets being reserved, they should be on sell now?

They still have to sort them out from what I understand.

Astor Crown Plaza as well. Sounds like quite a few Cajun fans staying there, can't wait! I booked about a month ago for only Saturday, but now I'm calling to see about the whole weekend

Rickey Bustle is far from being the worst thing that ever happened here at UL. Although it was time for a change, we owe him a great deal of thanks for coming in here and taking over the mess that had been created for him! In reality, he should have also had a Bowl trip during his tenure here.

Yes --I was wondering what it was--that extra pop in the step--but I have to admit that last evening the eyes did have some moisture of joy as I held my wife and thought of our UL times---She asked if the kids could go home for Thanksgiving day and I reminded her of the time she fed the players a thanksgiving meal before a post T-giving game that we won as huge under dogs---Wow Tempus Fugit!!!!

Friend called yesterday and "purchased" tickets....

These being purchased are GA the reserved seats behind the bench will be reserved until all pre-orders are met.

yesterday Astor Crowne still had some bowl rate room left

[CajunEXPRESS]

You really knocked it out of the park.

You forgot the volunteers who put in thousands of hours sprucing up Cajun Field when funds were low. It was really hot work but I loved it.

[billbeck451]

I paid for my seats yesterday but didn't get seating so even though I'm paid in full I still have to wait for the call. So some of the people saying that they purchased tickets may be same as me with a paid in full reservation and still don't know seating

[Duggie35]

Finally, after so many years of waiting, after many years of bad football, after many times of coming close, yesterday was the day for which Cajuns’ fans, myself included, had waited.

Jay,

You wrote a "great" article, and everyone you mentioned certainly deserves the recognition, but you forgot to include the most loyal person to ever wear Ragin Cajun gear. That person would be Bill "Blackjack" Landry!!!!!! Bill was the original Ragin Cajun!!! I'm positive he is in heaven with a huge smile on his face (as always) enjoying this moment with all the former Ragin Cajuns who are no longer with us.

I'll be in the Sheraton on canal!

I think it would be great if Rickey found himself on the sidelines watching these seniors play. It was time for a change but he deserves a chance to enjoy this moment as well.

That is so true.
