Me and the Mrs.are going with a group of 12, driving down Friday morning. Looking forward to seeing Tulane's new stadium and a #7 Tiger win.

Current forecast for Saturday is sunny, high of 59, low of 54, and 0% chance of rain.

Perfect football weather.

Heading down with the wife & 2 kids. Going to the Alumni pre-game event - anyone else going to that?

Why are you trying to kill GA? That could make his head explode.

These folks are wearing black and pink. GA's clan will be decked out in gray. I guess I'll be the only guy wearing blue.

I'll be in the backfield on Sat. on goal line offense. Poppaslaw Heavy formation.

I can't believe I won the ultimate fan experience from the American Digital Network!

last night on stubhub,

20 tickets available for the game

17 were sro, in the $60 dollar range (endzone section 113)
1 on the sideline at $175
2 in the next section at $100 each

wife was wondering if we should sell our tickets and hit the restaurants

I have looked at several Tulane games for ticket info this year, and they make it look like tickets are scarce, but when looking at game highlights there seem to be lots of empty seats. I guess those are folks who wanted seats in the new stadium but don't show up.

Hope to see a large sea of blue in that stadium on Saturday.

This is their homecoming. That is why tickets are scarce.

I don't lose any sleep over it and recognize the need for fighting such a terrible threat to women. That said, the breast cancer awareness campaign is a good example of the prevalence of political correctness in US society. It was estimated that in 2010 there would be about 157,300 deaths from lung cancer. This is greater than the number of deaths from breast cancer (41,230), prostate cancer (32,050), and colon and rectal cancers (51,370) combined. And, while many people dismiss lung cancer as a smoker’s disease, it is important to note that 10 to 20% of people diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked, and the majority of people diagnosed with lung cancer at this time are former (not current) smokers. In women, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer, yet even though nearly twice as many women die from lung cancer as do from breast cancer, it gets more attention, apparently because it is specific to women.

agree with GA

sounds like the lung cancer folks simply need better marketing...moreover, men love boobs...it has nothing to do with political correctness IMHO.
