PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

Man that sucks. I'm glad he's doing well now and it would be a great story if he could come back sometime in the future to play for the cajuns again. Good to see you're healthy Aaron.

if yall think SB to CUSA is a lateral move, you need to get yourself examined. The big conferences are cherry picking USA not the sunbelt. you are delusional to think that they would poach the sunbelt before USA in the future. and i am thinking bigger, and to put us in the best position to get picked up is going CUSA

I think that's the point. With the teams that CUSA is losing, the talent level in that conference is a lot more similar to the 'Belt's now.

ADDENDUM: Also, the talent level in the 'Belt has increased significantly in just the last few years!!

I just think it would have been nice to use our school colors in our first bowl in 40 years. But...whatever.

[SignIt-CAJUNS!]

The red helments are traditional...but the black helments seem to add a little "EXTRA JUICE!"

[zephyr]

No doubt that would have been a far more winable game.

Uhh, I don't think Illinois is any more "winnable" than SDSU. Illinois had a really good mobile QB and some nice skill players and their defense is better than SDSU's so just because their record is not as good doesn't mean they are not as good of a team.

The Cajun Nation knows the taste very well of being snubbed.

Some of you guys are pathetic. It is a stupid uniform that you guys are complaining about.

Never understood the weapons check ...I once saw an old dude beat the crap out of some loud mouth studenr once with a pair of binoculars. Needed medical attention after it was stopped.

Yes you can. Just remember they will do a security search at the entrances

we get into some of the silliest freakin arguments on this board. Every smaller bowl distributes tickets. This bowl will break all records of past NO Bowls. CUSA is NOT as great as it once was. The Sunbelt is better than its ever been. MONROE STILL SUCKS and should be in 1AA. We are positioning ourselves for the best scenario possible.

UL is in the NO Bowl. Tulane is not. UL has a great coach. Tulane has bottom of the barrel. Tulane fans number in the 10's. UL fans number in the multiple thousands and growing.

I am happy for LSU because I have friends that are big fans. I dislike alot/most of LSU's fanbase because they are huge arrogant _____s. Their kids work as hard as ours in practice so they deserve a shot at the NC

Finally #2 and #84 of the Falcons got me almost 70 points in Fantasy last night. Looks like I might just win this mutha for the second year in a row!!

For the youngsters..

BCS Bowls "distribute" tickets as well.

Moving story - glad to see young Mr. Thibodeaux is recovering. Hang in there, buddy, we're all cheering and praying for you! Thanks for the write-up, Tim! I hope and pray that he is able to get back to school and be with the team in some capacity in the future.

[RaginDave]

I am ready for this damn game to start.
