Classy.

What section is the band going to be in?

[SteveAztec]

I'm not sure on the total of tickets sold, but the ticket sold me they have had several calls from Louisiana and most of them mentioned this web site.

[UL Alum93]

149 accordingy to the NO bowl website, seat layout.

[CajunAlum10]

We dominate the game and win by 14 or more?

Or a close game, possible 4th qtr comeback and exciting finish to win?

Both have their positives. Obviously if we go out there and take it to them, well then we get some well deserved respect for beating a solid team handily in a bowl game. However, if we win a hard-fought close battle then it just proves the toughness that this team has had all season and in my mind would be the perfect finish to this season.

I also think an exciting finish would garner more ESPN highlights, obviously. Either way though, just as long as we win I'm happy.

Thoughts?

Either way though, just as long as we win I'm happy.

These are my thoughts

[CajunAlum10]

Fair enough. Honestly I'm just happy to be there, and I can't wait to have a great time in Nola with friends until the sun comes up Sunday morning. Tiz gonna be a good time.

[axg8750]

I agree. I am going to have to pace myself Saturday to make sure that I can make it to Bourbon after the game. An 8 o'clock start time is going to make for a late night.
