what about us out-of-staters that have to watch it on espn

Trigger, post your thoughts on the coverage for those of us who will be in the Superdome, s'il vous plais! In return, we promise to yell like hell for the Cajun faithful who are unable to make it to the game! You all will be there in spirit with us! Merci beau coups!

I-10 is closed in both directions at metairie rd due to a fatal accident. News just reported it could be 4 hours before it reopens. If your heading to the cbd or french quarter you might want to take 610 around town and come back in from the east. If you are coming in on 90 stay on the westbank expressway and use the crescent city connection if your on I-10 coming in from B.R. it might not be a bad idea to take 310 over to 90 as well.

No, Obama just pulled a Jimmy Carter. As soon as he is gone, we will be back in Iraq to protect the civilians he left totally unprotected and vulnerable over there.

For a long time I would have agreed with you, but I can tell you that when I was there from 2007-2008 our need combat troops there was dwindling rapidly. The Sunni tribes had woken up and finally started pushing the al Qaeda threat out of al Anbar province.

Now the secular tension in Baghdad was still somewhat heated, but from everything I've heard, it's calmed down significantly.

When I left, our forces were preparing to pull out of the cities to switch to a purely support role for the Iraqi military and police. If we hadn't passed the torch on to the Iraqis, they'd still be depending on us to take care of everything for them.

....our good friends Bruce Mikels and Jude Walker from 97.3 the Dawg have put together a highlight package from the 2011 season, intersperced with some pregame comments during the season from Coach Hud. It should run roughly 7:40pm, give or take five minutes.

Those of you going to the game might want to make sure radioPup is downloaded on your iphone or android device.

I hope you enjoy it.

Jay, please record it and put it on the website afterwords. No way radio pup is going to work in the Superdome. It will probably be too loud in there for me to hear it anyway, even if it did work. That's the plan, anyway.

Zee, if you haven't left yet, just take 90, then the Westbank Expressway straight into town.

Justice, I don't disagree. But I don't think it is stable enough in the region to leave thousands of US civilians there unprotected by the US military.

Playing in their home state will be a nice edge for the Ragin' Cajuns, who will have a clear advantage in crowd support. But that won’t be enough to stop all of SDSU’s weapons.
