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

One of the many highlights of my night was being able to talk to Jessie Newman on the sideline. I have a white #67 jersey that I bought when he was still in school. When I saw him on the field, he had his white #67 jersey on and I walked up to him and told him "nice jersey". He smiled, laughed and we talked for a few minutes.

I'm happy to hear he was in for the game. Last I heard he was drafted to play in the CFL, is he still doin his thing up there?

Yes he is. Playing for the BC Lions.

There's something wonderful and pure about a fan base that hasn't been jaded yet. One that's suffered for years in the desert, only to finally devour a Ritz cracker, as if it were a Ruth Chris' ribeye.

Just sent them a comment...reminding them that Lafayette is a school in the Ivy League.

That should help.

[Turbine]

That should help.

It will!

If all they saw was the "Lafayette" following the "UL" (a very common occurance outside of the inner circles) and didn't bother to research further, they will get the point of his message and won't bother to check further here either.

Nice read. Good to see former players like Stokely were there. I also saw Chris Gannon in the Quarter Saturday morning.
