Stupid to go to NOLA?

I have Monday and Tuesday off if I want them. I don't have tickets to the game. I would basically be driving 9 hours or so to hang out with friends and be in the Quarter.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get too wasted on Monday night because I have a meeting back home (9 hours away) in the p.m.

Am I stupid for wanting to stay home and just get shitfaced on Monday night (while taking advantage of the Tuesday off of course) and hang out with local friends?

disclaimer: I went to the last BCSCG, so I have that experience...

That's a long trip without a ticket.

18 hours in the car round trip to hang out in NOLA when it is really crowded?

No thanks

It is a long drive for you but if I was having second thoughts.... I'd go.


I was there in '03 and '07 and I will be there for this one. I leave tomorrow for New Orleans.

But you have to pay for gas, food, do you have a place to stay, etc..... I really don't know what to tell you.

NO

expectations of 100,000 + outside the dome for the game, you can join the crowd, it should be worth the effort

Signed,
All Your Friends who will NEVER...EVER...Let you forget how you pussed out in this Our Greatest Hour!!

Id stay home. Went to seccg game with ticket and drive back was hell. Gas is expensive and with emotions running and a lil alcohol, you will stay out later than you intended to.

You should have checked plane tickets, prob wouldnt be that much more than one person paying for gas. If you have people coming with splitting gas and driving hungover back in shifts is the way to go.

Don't go, bro...that is too far...5 hours, maybe 6 without a ticket is questionable, but 9 hours each way with a meeting awaiting you upon return, no way. Kick your feet back and enjoy at home.

I'm driving 12hrs from Missouri without tickets, did it for the LSU vs OU game and had a blast. I'm coming down with 3 other people. We're leaving Tomm night at about 10pm.

it is a shame for any tiger fan to have to miss this, as it will be quite a spectacle...a weekend you will never forget...

but honestly, there is no way I would do 18 hours of solo driving to watch the game in a bar in the quarter...I think you would have to be so wrapped up in the logistics of the whole thing that the game would become secondary and you wouldn't even enjoy it...

Nope. I'm doing that same thing without a ticket and I'm going farther than you.
