PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[Turbine]

Two things that worked against this team.
1. Blowout losses to Indiana State (FCS) and a horrible Navy team.
2. Scheduling money games versus Kentucky (who they should have beaten) and LSU.

I agree the money they made is not worth the prestige they lost.

How about their attendance (or lack there of) this season? That had to factor in.

Why not just enjoy the kindness and selfless act for what it is........no negative future spin needed. People do nice things for people all the time......we should be 100% applauding there generousity. Hope they fill the dome with underpriviledged kids if resources allows.

I applaud their actions also 1000%. I also made the suggestion that we match their generosity with some of our own. I do not expect ANYTHING, not one single thing in return. The knowledge of having spread a little christmas cheer by helping some kids from New Orleans sport some UL gear, while they enjoy the game would be reward enough.

Anyone who tries to make anything out of it beside that is spinning to hide their own selfishness. I too saw the thread on San Diego's website & then followed it up by going Marshall's foundation website. I brought up the idea with the thought that someone on here would say hey, you know what, that's a great idea. Why don't we get off our lazy selfish behinds & show the community of New Orleans that we also have civic pride & want to show those guys a good time. Forgetaboutit.

is it ok if I still worry for all ya'll then?

I tell you what Johnnyboy. If anyone backs out after what was said yesterday, without coaching another season, they would instantly become the most infamous perriah in this school's history. Believe me, if you haven't followed this website, that is saying something. I don't blame you for wishing though.

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

I'm going over there in just a bit; give me your size(s) and I'll get what you need and send to you!

I agree. It's hard to beat natural geographic rivals that make sense. I think the Sunbelt is in the drivers seat right now. Everyone wants to switch i.e. the grass is greener but to me now is not the time because there seems to be so much uncertainty. What happens when the Big East loses its BCS status? Will these schools still want to spend all this money traveling. I wonder what would happen if the Legislatures said join the the conference you want but the State is only putting up $1.98 for travel you put up the rest? I think we need to be practical. I do want to keep Hud and he deserves to be paid more. I hope we will say the same thing about Marlin but the jury is still out. See ya'll at the NO Bowl - Geaux Cajuns!

This is an awesome idea to sell more tickets. It not only benefits SDSU, but helps out kids who probably could not afford a ticket. Also it puts butts in the stands.

Same here. Dangit.
