Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3056682, member: 27"] It was a great season. The Penn State game might have been the loudest blowout in Dome history. We had what, 18 years of supressed rage that was excised that day. I went to the Sugar Bowl. First time I saw people openly urinating in public (on Bourbon Street). First street I ever walked down that smelled distinctly of urine (also Bourbon Street). I think it is a great place to go to if you drink. If you don’t...it isn’t quite as appealing. Ran into a lot of Auburn fans before the game, walking the streets of the city. They were very cocky and dismissive of Syracuse. A lot of them wore buttons that said ‘Piss On Syracuse’. That was a mistake. Shortly after those buttons came out, Syracuse fans started wearing ‘*uck Auburn’ buttons. They were shocked. Really thought they were somehow better than us. They liked to say ‘War Damn Eagle’ to us, like it was a clever saying. How stupid. After the game, most of the Auburn fans were in shock that their coach was such a coward and disgusted with his decision to not try to win but settle for a meaningless tie. No one in the stadium thought he would do something so senseless and lame. It is a shame the game ended that way. It featured some great players on both sides and some of the most violent collisions and hits I have ever seen in one game. On New Year’s Eve, there is a big celebration in NO at Jackson Square, with live music and fireworks. It was pretty fun but shortly after midnight, most of the crowd, including us, headed towards downtown. It was packed with people, all walking down the street together. Suddenly everyone stopped. I looked ahead and saw why. There was a violent knife fight going on between two guys, with the crowd opened into a circle and the fighters inside it. I think a policeman eventually arrived and broke it up and we were able to resume our journey to our hotel. But as we made a turn, there was a series of ear splitting bangs. A guy was firing shots from a pistol at another guy. Maybe 10 yards from us. Some froze, some ran. We ran. Later we read stories in the paper about both incidents. That place is a little too wild for me. [/QUOTE]
