PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[moorecajun]

It may not be, but it's going to be hard not to look at 42k+ in attendance. I expect this bowl to fare better in the media next year. I also expect CUSA to be looking elsewhere for their 5th tie-in after snubbing the bowl twice. The Hawaii experience won't be as good as they would've gotten with a packed Superdome for S.Miss-Louisiana, either.

I don't think CUSA had an option available for the NO Bowl ... if anything, the NO Bowl committee may rethink it, but I don't think that is in their (NO Bowl) best interest.

We played against Wyoming in the early 90s. Crazy game, had a windstorm during the game and a snow storm on the way to the airport after the game.

Bourbon Streeet Blues Company is where we typically hang out with the young'ns. Never had a problem getting them in there before.

I was at that game. Pre-game was about 60 degrees. A front came in during the game with heaving wind, snow and freezing temps by the end of it. The game was on Sept. 14, 1991 and we lost 28-15. I remember Wyoming had a nice, but small campus and a stadium that only seats about 30,000 - 35,000. I do remember seeing posters around the stadium of all the bowl games Wyoming had been to including a Sugar Bowl game vs. LSU. I that time, I didn't realize Wyoming's football history.

Don't hang out on Bourbon. There are tons of other places worthwhile. It's good for the tourists in your group to check out, but that's about it. Not saying that this applies to you, but it bothers me when visitors from out of state spend all of their time on Bourbon and think that is New Orleans. Sure, it's part and should be seen, but that's certainly not the quality of New Orleans.

Just went to the post office and in my box was a commemorative New Orleans Bowl issue. Made my day. I'm ready to leave right now.

it is when it's 11:30 P.M. and the Cajuns just won the New Orleans Bowl.

I was just informed by the Cajundome Box Office that there weren't many tickets left for the game. I asked specifically if she was referring to the UL allotment, and she said that she was not speaking of the allotment, but for the game itself. I asked if we were getting close to the 65-70K capacity...and she said yes.

While I would love for this to be close to true, I do not think it is. My concern is the total mis-information given by a UL-associated entity. Just dosen't look good for our people to be so wrong.
