Come on, man. You can retake classes anytime. 41 years!!! Where are your priorities?

This is good stuff. Just informed the Misses that she & Jr. will accompany me to said rally for a little Cajun love fest. She is very excited. Hope to see you there.

Vincent's on St. Charles has the best italian in the country. Trust me, I even spent 2 weeks in New York trying to find something as good. Also in December, the homeade soda at American Sector in the WW2 museum (chef John Besh's restaurant) is SATSUMA soda. The most delicious thing you will ever put in your mouth. My wife and I make a weekend pilgrimage each year for our birthdays and it always coincides with the N.O. Bowl.

Guys I did my homework here so this is what I came up with:

The most likely team we will play is East Carolina. We are supposed to be matched up against the #5 team from CUSA and that team is ECU.

Not exactly how it works. Four other bowls are contracted to take CUSA teams then the New Orleans bowl gets the 5th pick. Does not mean we get the 5th placed team.

I'm thinking 40,000.

We are also talking about alumni that are too cheap to join RCAF!!!

Deanie's, Acme Oyster House.

This thread starts and ends with this post. Deanie's is a tradition and one of these days, I'm going to save room for the Gold Brick Sundae for dessert after the charbroiled oysters, BBQ shrimp, and the Crawfish Quartet. I'll also make sure to find time to stop by Houston's on St. Charles and I'm in the market to try the Acme Oyster House for the first time. I'll have to find time for those between trips to Tropical Isle and Pirate's Alley.

I feel like I'm forgetting something...oh yeah, the New Orleans Bowl!

My comment is the same as above. CUSA number 5 means that bowl gets the "5th pick"...not the 5th ranked team in CUSA standings.
