Come on, Mike. The beignets at the Cafe Du Monde are outstanding.

For me, a trip to NO will involve zero Bourbon Street. None of the good restaurants are there.

I love New Orleans. Awesome city.

They're ok. But I like Shipley's Donuts in Texas better.

if any of you come for the TCU game, maybe I will bring a dozen shipley donuts, and let you each have 1, assuming there is no more than 2 of you.

There's not a single game there to get excited about.
I'm excited for FSU coming into town next year. Also, ASU is replacing their QB next year and that would be a quality win. With Utah, TCU and Air Force playing in Provo next year, 2009 can be something special.

I haven't been to NO since Katrina, but I used to go about once a year on business and loved it. Lots of great food.

Since the year we played USC in the Coliseum I've tried making it a point to go to at least 1 of our OOC games on the road. Since then I've also traveled to Notre Dame, Arizona, UCLA and Washington and enjoyed myself every time.

In 09: I plan on hitting my ol' stomping grounds when going to see them play Arizona State in Tempe and if they play at Tulane then I will definetly go as I've never been to New Orleans and think it would be fun.

In 10: I will go to the FSU game in Tallahassee.

In 11: I might go up to Seattle again,,but not sure.

Hopefully beyond that we'll get more OOC teams on our schedule because beyond 2011 we play Washington one more time and there aren't any other BCS Teams on the schedule beyond that.

We do have a 4 game series with Boise State starting in 2012.

We also have a 2 game series with Hawaii starting back up in 2013 but that hasn't been made public yet.

Is it normal to not have anything for 2012 at this point? (I only count BCS teams)

Holmoe so far has delivered absolute sh*t: Boise State, Hawaii, Utah State, Div IIa, Army (canceled for some reason), and Tulane (maybe).

Argh!!!!!!
