PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

As was stated in another thread, I think the best way to defense Hillman is to keep at least 7 in the box on most plays and play man on the outsides. Our secondary should be able to handle their recievers in man defense most of the game which will allow the interior to keep Hillman in check on most plays. We just can't allow him to break one!!

Mothers is on Poydras closer to Harrah's than the Superdome. Same block as the Federal Courthouse, only on the Canal St. side of Poydras. But the poboys are outstanding! (Think Old Time!)

Saturday for Lunch...Mother's. Thanks for the suggestions fellas.

Putting things in perspective:

18000 is more than double what any Sun Belt school has sold in the past.

You can expect a crowd in excess of 40,000 for the game.

To add to that perspective . .

Back in 2000 (Nick'S first bowl trip as a Tiger) LSU sold 17,000 tickets (their allotment for the Peach Bowl)

Due to Atlanta's growth at the time and it being a job creation machine, this was also LSU's alumni base in the area.

18,000 is GREAT!

Hillman and the Aztecs take on the Ragin' Cajuns, who are making their first postseason appearance in 41 years, on Saturday night in the New Orleans Bowl at the Superdome. Hillman finished third this season in the FBS with 138.0 rushing yards per game ...

Hmm

My time is now 12:10 and it says 4 days 7 hours 49 minutes and 30 seconds.

I am EST, and I am showing 2:13 right now, which is 1:13 in New Orleans.
The Countdown is showing 4 days, 5 hours and 46 minutes and 30 seconds.

So 1:13 plus 46 minutes would be 2pm, plus 5 hours would be 7pm CST, than add 4 days and you get 7pm CST Saturday December 17th. Am I missing something?

[Turbine]

Yes the countdown clock is set to work for Central Time zones.

Try (for kicks) changing your computer to New Orleans time and let me know hat happens.

I have no problem with the "underdog" tag. I believe that we were underdogs in atleast half of our 8 victories this year(Kent State, FIU, FAU, Troy,). And most of those games were at home.

Andre - the buses pulled out of the athletic complex at approx. 1:05. Hope you are able to rally a group for when they pass through! Great idea BTW. Geaux Cajuns!

The group of fans waved signs and changed "Geaux Cajuns" as head coach Mark Hudspeth, wearing a black suit and a red tie, walked through the crowd and shook hands before boarding the bus. "Let's go get 'em," Hudspeth yelled to the crowd while ...
