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

[CajunFan3406]

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.

Yeah I was really hoping someone like Boise would've made it into that game. I may have even gone to the game just to check them out. Unfortunately, the Sugar Bowl messed up big time. I would love it if the NO Bowl ends up being better attended than the Sugar.

I won't rag on the rednecks from LII for not traveling en mass to San Diego. Although the tarps covering empty seats was appropriately ironic and funny. I'm not sure how much better Our fans would have travelled there either. While I have some locations such as a pair of painted yellow footprints that I'd like to see for old times sake, San Diego is not a "destination city" like New Orleans, New York, LA, etc. Hopefully the non-BCS bowls will wake up and realize that the key to success is a regional matchup that makes it relatively easy for fans to travel and also spurs some local interest. There were some local folks at the New Orleans Bowl who were not UL alums but who went in part because UL was a somewhat "local" team.

Although San Diego isn't a destination city, I certainly wouldn't mind going there. It's a great sized city. Not too big but not too small. Not very difficult to get around especially compared to a place like LA. Decent nightlife (Gaslamp Quarter) and lots of other things to do. Weather is also great. I was just there about a week and a half ago and would love to go back. Although I'm sure many folks around here wouldn't have the same feelings about there as I do due to the distance and the price to get there.

I noticed there were plenty of pictures taken of us during the game probably because of my poster but I can't seem to find any of them! Has anybody been able to find any albums from people that were on the field taking pictures other than the Daily Advertiser?!

I have friends that live in SD and family in SF, so I could maybe swing it since no hotel room would be needed. But any other cross country bowl games I would have to watch from my house. We'll be in NOLA with a SBC title next year, so no immediate travel worries.

40k and more.

One of the many things that contributed to this year's incredible attendance was the game being on a Saturday. I don't think that is always the case. IF the Cajuns make it back next year and the game is on say a Tuesday that would put a huge dent in attendance.

Wife and I really enjoyed the gas light district, the zoo, and a whale watching trip while there. If you're a fan of golf, there are also a lot of great courses in the area. The scenery along the coast highway is also beautiful.

I know of someone else who had the same scenario. Family cruise booked months ago. He was pretty certain that he would not get to see the game while on board.

I booked our honeymoon back in may/june not even thinking about the bowl game. I did get to watch it in St. Lucia and stayed up until 2 am to watch the very end!

Thank you i looked at those but I was talking more along the lines of people who were on the field who might have been with some type of publications! I know they are hard to come across but I was just curious! I had a sign that said Cajuns gonna whip that AZtecs! Everybody that saw it was taking pictures!
