PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

Damn, Bleacher Report predicted a win, we're doomed. Now we just have to hope College Football News predicts you guys win and it evens out

Don't forget that we don't know what is going to happen next year. What if we're in a similar position to a few years ago? For two years, we'll be able to point to ticket sales BEFORE even knowing where we're headed. I love the way this was done. If I've got to wait for my tickets, who cares? I have them in my hand (got them today) and kickoff is still over a week away. That's all that matters is that I leave Lafayette with my tickets in my hands. 41 years, folks. 41 years we've been waiting for a bowl. Enjoy the moment. Savor it. Taste it. Smell it. Touch it. Take some throat losenges with you and let's all lose our voices in the Superdome. These guys deserve a deafening crowd. Let's give it to them.

As an expected 20,000 Ragin' Cajuns fans prepare to descend on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Dec. 17, both UL and Hooters are offering fans bus transportation to the game. Calling it "the best promotion nobody knows about," Hooters General Manager ...

Looks like a nice deal if you're not staying in NO and don't want to drive!

Since when do we have 15,000 RCAF members or season ticket holders?

That's part of the problem and is probably causing this delay with tickets being delivered. There is no limit to the number of tickets an RCAF member, or season ticket holder, or anybody, can order at one time. One RCAF member could order 500 tickets to ensure his/her buddies sit together (not me, I don't have 5 buddies much less 500).

I am assuming we must have sold out the availble seating on our side, at least for the number of tickets you were blocking.

There have been posts on here degrading the process for how the ticketing was handled. I don't think anybody was trying to screw anybody out of tickets; just the opposite. I think the athletic department was trying to reward the very group of people that are making it possible to upgrade Coach Hud's contract (as well as the assistants, etc.).

So don't be mad about the process; get on board and help us get better every year!

Next year I expect it will be a more streamlined approach as well BUT we still need you and everyone to get on the RCAF and season ticket holders train! You will be happier AND you will be helping out, no matter what level of giving.

Geaux CAJUNS!

I think the deposit-taking was initially done to "prove" to the bowl that we could have serious interest in our fan base attending a bowl game. Although we were pretty sure we were gonna get an invite from the NO Bowl, I think they didn't want to take any chances, given our past history of missing out on bowl invitations. And as a precaution in case the NO Bowl decided to go elsewhere, to make us attractive to another bowl. On the other hand, the ticket distribution system seems to have had quite a few problems. I do think that Scott Farmer and staff will do a post-mortem review to assess changes for next time/year.

This is such a very important point people seem to be overlooking. We have been bowl elgible before and spent the bowl season at home. ANYTHING that could be done to improve our chances should have been done - this may/did cause delays with tickets being available but what would people be complaining about if we weren't going ... "what is the athletic department doing to help get us in a bowl game?".

The game is still over a week away; how soon do you need your tickets?

It was not just a simple task of selling a ticket; there are many factors that went into this process ... let's go enjoy a bowl game!

Geaux CAJUNS!

Haha! Don't you just hate it when your team gets picked to win in a big game? It's almost like the kiss of death! In that case, I hope CFN also picks SDSU!
