PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[TuffGuy84]

Yup...just like La Tech plays in the Eastern Division of the Western Athletic Conference. This realignment stuff is dumb.

You can call it what you want. I guarantee you in two months if a UL coach is sitting in the home of a potential recruit from a part of New Orleans where those tickets are given out & that recruit is being courted by SDSU or anyone else for that matter. One of the first questions from mom, grandma, auntie, or whoever will be that they remember UL playing SDSU in this game & what SDSU did for them or someone in their family. What did UL do?

UL won... that's what they did. And they did it with a raging crowd that will also be back here to see you play in the NO Bowl someday. Oh, and if you need free tickets to the NO Bowl... how much are you saving up to go to San Diego to see your son play, mom? Are you going to purchase the full suite of college football access so that you can watch SDSU play? How about you just take a Saturday drive to Lafayette with the rest of the family and watch your son play? And then... how cool is it when UL comes back to the NO Bowl, again, and all of your friends and family get to watch him play? Now... back to your son coming to UL to play football.

These tickets are being paid for & given by people that aren't attending the game ... and they are being given to kids, not any potential recruits.

What the KIDS will see when they get in the dome is a HUGE UL crowd ... THAT is what they will remember.

It is a classy move by some SDSU fans ... that is something I will remember.

Soooooo.....I guess they will play in the "western" division of the Big East.

Probably the North Division. :<)

-------------Now did ANYBODY notice the most significant thing in that entire video-----I think that their mascot will be very welcomed by the Krewe de Chew at our pre-game party---that aztec dude's head piece will be the envy of the party when the rooster dance happens---Paging all members of the K de C ---contact this guy now!!!!!!! BTW it is at about the 221 spot!!!!

I think it was mentioned in another thread, but wanted to let everyone know that Alberston's on Johnson has a nice selection of bowl T-shirts (short and long sleeve, few different styles) much better then either Academy. I spoke with the manager who wondered over after seeing me with an arm full of red shirts, he said they were making the shirts locally and were selling them like hot cakes. Was nice seeing a sea of Red drown out the Purple and Gold for a change!

I wonder if I paid the frieght if they would ship a couple to me in NC?

Spoken by someone who obviously doesn't understand jack crap about recruiting. We are not talking about exploiting cancer victims or the victime of a tragic accident here, we are talking about using the power of an institution to have a general positive impact on a community & let your name be recognized with the degree of separation necessary to ensure that no NCAA rules are broken. Giving something to a sector of potential future fans in the heart of Tulane, LSU, & USM country without personal contact with any individual from the school is a stroke of genius.

I also give SDSU credit for a great idea. Promote community involvement & get recognition for your school at the same time. Be honest, if this post or series of posts were being made by just about anyone else on this forum you guys would be lapping this up. I have come to understand & accept your small mindedness though.

Dave,

If they don't send me a PM I can pick up what you need and ship them to you.
