Being that I am located just south of New Orleans, needless to say I have been listening to the news quite a bit with the approaching Gustav as the eye is currently predicted to go about 10 miles from the Nicholls State campus on Tuesday morning. One thing that I did hear about that might also be affected by Gustav is the Southern Decadence Festival that takes place in the French Quarter - apparently this is an annual event. With that stated, for all App fans coming to LA for the game and then planning to go to New Orleans (hoping that there will be no hurricane), if you try to pick up on someone, make sure she does not have an adams apple.

Other than that, have a safe trip and if city and state officials say get out - LISTEN TO THEM and do it early.
