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

[geo_cajun]

La.-Lafayette receiver Javone Lawson established career-highs with 9 receptions, 193 yards and 2 TDs in a 32-30 win over San Diego State in the New Orleans.

Dude, thats 21 yards per catch!! That game has some gaudy passing stats.

Is Cox4 available on LUS fiber?

No.

[USL82]

very obvious this guy didn't see the game or know anything about us. We were definitley more 'athletic'. If the two teams held a track meet, we'd kick their butts! (my definition of 'athletic').

What no one acknowledges, we were down to the 5 yd line 3 times in the game and came away with 6 pts! If we play that team again, I think we win by double digits.

The LSU administration is going forward with a joint program with UL for a 3 year medical program at UL. How good is that? I think under Dr. S, who has great relations with all of the university presidents, the ice is melting and there will be more cooperation in academic and athletic matters. The people who actually attended LSU seem to get it. It appears to be the ones who didn't attend but support LSU who don't have a concept about other universities and think LSU is the one and only and that is where most of the problems lie. Improving our relationship with LSU will only help UL in the long run. Just maybe its time to put the past behind us with regards LSU and look to a more promising future.

I agree with what you say. But I also agree with what Ronald Reagan said, "Trust, But Verify"!!!!!!!!!!!!

"through phone sales" this isn't there first bowl, they probably do everything online, they will travel pretty well

Here's a link to my facebook album with pics of the team and MVP trophies. Parents' trophy shop (Awardmaster) had to do some minor repairs on them, so I had a great chance to take some pictures.

God Bless!

So...as it turned out, both FIU's play on the field AND their fan support BOTH sucked. Disappointing.

Especially when FIU fans could've made that a home game for them with a good turnout. St. Petersburg isn't that much farther from Miami than Lafayette is to New Orleans!!

THere's speculation that tonight's Poinsettia bowl may be the lowest attended in that bowl's history. Team from texas vs. team from Louisiana in San Diego.

Let's say next year we go 7-5, and go to a bowl that requires airfare. I have a hard time believing we'd travel well.

Especially around the holidays.

I think travel and logistics has the biggest impact on bowl attendance BY FAR. Except with FIU... They obviously don't care...

True. Which just goes to reinforce my belief that geographic fit is essential unless you're the Rose Bowl or the BCSNC.

Baylor sold out their allotment quickly but San Antonio is three hours from a lot of their fan base. Texas probably didn't sell out their allotment, or come close, but they have a ton of fans in SoCal so that makes up for some of the distance.

I thought when they set up the BCS that the idea was to select the highest ranked BCS opponents in the bowls but apparently that flopped thanks to the Sugar's disastrous pick.

I hope the other bowls recognize how well the Ragin's traveled and played. It can only be the start of something big.
