2011 New Orleans Bowl: LOUISIANA (32) SDSU (30)

[cajun4life]

Now a bunch of kids in 3rd world countries will grow up thinking SDSU won the New Orleans Bowl.

You don't know how true that really is, when I was deployed I saw several Oklahoma MNC shirts from 2003.

Dave Dixon was a New Orleans businessman who was the key guy in having the Superdome built and the Saints franchise awarded to the city of New Orleans. The Dome has bought final fours, Super Bowls, and a variety of other significant events to New Orleans. Economic impact to the city and state from those is incalculable. Without the Dome, those events would not have come to our state. Also, the success of the Saints does limit Tulane's support which in a way is good for us. Unfortunately it is not possible for the Cajuns and Wave to both be successful as there are not enough mid major players in Louisiana for that to occur. I guarantee you if the Saints were not here Tulane would be more successful which would have a negative impact on us as they are the major recruiting competition in south Louisiana. Nothing personal against Tulane, that is just the way things age. I say this as someone who lived 20 years in the New Orleans area.

I have no doubt you are right. When the IceGators were drawing 11,000 it put a dent in UL's draw.

Turbine...I currently have it down to just 28 If and when I can get it down to just one, I'll post.

Nothing wrong with a TOP-28 . . . in the Dome. !

Does anyone know if the bookstore has Bowl Championship merchandise yet? Hats? T-shirts? Polos? What about any other stores around town?

I placed an order last night for the championship pennant and championship shirts along with the dueling helmet pennant, patch, and program from the NO bowl site. Today I got an email that my order was amended and no longer includes the championship shirt or pennant. Now I can't find those items on the site at all. All they have is the stuff they were selling prior to the bowl game. Kinda disappointed as I was going to frame the tix, pennant, patch, photos and a copy of the advertiser front page into one nice display for my game room.

And on the front page of the New Orleans sports section today as well. Somehow the TP put ULL on page 8 in Sundays paper. That was terrible.

Probably be the same page they bury the story of the Cajuns defeating Tulane next October !!!

I would like to thank everyone of you who for all that you have done for our family. Thank you for sharing in my son's graduation and giving him a memory he will never forget. I cant tell you how incredible that experience was. Thank you for embracing him and sharing this great university and your dedication to the football players. So many of you came up to both my husband and I and thanked us for our son, it was you that gave us the gift. He will never forget this experience.

As far as the game goes.....wow.

We're just proud to have him as an Alum.

however many minutes of reading stats, and he freaking missed a huge, huge one. Yea our special teams are special with the only weakness kickoffs. Saturday they were OK, not great, but OK. Made a few mental errors on special teams, and the zebras missed a foul on the blocked field goal.

Next thing people keep forgetting. There is more than one reason we suffer a time of possession difference. We score often and on big, big plays. You do not get that from a casual read of team stats.

But you are right never use this guy as your betting advisor.

He talks like he"s got a cold or he is holding his nose. Either way, he's a goober...........
