In case you want to avoid the tourist traps (i.e., Bourbon)-- this may be an interesting event for some of you: Oktoberfest NOLA Oh, and NOLA Brewing (http://nolabrewing.com) does free tours every Friday from 2-3pm and Saturday and Sunday from 2-4pm. Free beer (at least they used to).

Tulane is not in the Garden District, it is more uptown. In the attached map it is in the Audubon neighborhood. The St Charles street car will take you between Tulane and to the edge of the French Quarter (through the Garden District and other goodies). http://www.norta.com/Maps-Schedules/System-Map/Line.aspx?ID=10462 The Canal street car will take you between Mid-City and along the edge of the French Quarter. http://www.norta.com/Maps-Schedules/System-Map/Line.aspx?ID=10471

As a New Orleanian, the French Quarter is my least favorite area of the city. Stay in Mid-City, Garden District, or somewhere else in Uptown near Tulane. A St. Charles or Canal streetcar will bring you into the Quarter without a problem. Renting a car is an absolute waste of money and effort (parking and whatnot) if you are (1) flying in, (2) staying in the city, and (3) not a baby about some walking. I live in the Warehouse district and got rid of my car a while back. I'm able to get around everywhere by foot, Uber, and street car/bus. $5.95 is the minimum Uber fare (I doubt Lyft is much different) Street car and buses are $1.25 per trip, or $3 for a one-day jazzy pass.

How's the watch party situation in NOLA? Never heard of one here. But out of curiosity I googled it and voila! http://usfalumni.org/s/861/social.aspx?pgid=2326#Louisiana Although I do wish it was more in town..

I live in NOLA. The only conversation that comes up about USF is from a tourist shocked to see a fellow bull, but sports aren't ever mentioned. I don't even think LS-Pew fans know about USF's existence.

But, darn... those amenities!

It is a recent update on the "chromecast" app, they added a "Cast Screen" button.

Do you mean chromecast? You only need a hdmi port, so you can stream whatever is on your chrome browser to your TV. You can also stream from your phone/tablet with apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Watch ESPN, HBO Go. You can also duplicate your entire phone onto the TV (if android phone).

Straight robbery is how we do in Louisiana.

I'm surprised no one made a backhanded comment about the size of it.

You all make being a fan sound so complicated. You either personally care or you don't.

Some of you internet-lawyer's understanding of contract law is atrocious. Stop it.

Today we learned that students do what they want... Oh, and you can support your school in ways other than attending sporting events.

This is exactly why Texas A&M is annoyingly protective of their trademark. If they don't protect the mark (even against petty uses like "12th Bull"), then it can become generic ("a football term") and no longer a valid trademark. Here is some simple reading on Genericide. http://www.legalzoom.com/intellectual-property-rights/trademarks/problem-genericide

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2437992 "As part of the agreement, the Seahawks acknowledge Texas A&M's ownership rights of the trademarked phrase. However, the NFL team may continue using it under license. Neither side admitted any fault or liability." No. The difference is they got a license. I don't think any one should weigh in on the legal arguments who can't even tell the difference between patent and trademark.

Don't mean to nitpick (yes I do). But it is trademark; not copyright.

Can UCF just lose so I don't have to see their fans in my city for a BCS bowl. This is all that matters to me at this point. Kthx. (the night life debate between Tampa and Orlando is cute)

Choke also means not winning when heavily favored. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_%28sports%29 LOL even though it's never used in that regard, but as mentioned in the article, we have the Oilers-Bills choke game, the Choke at Doak, etc. But go ahead, rewrite your own interpretations of other people's comments ... this is your world, I just live in it. I didn't rewrite history. How many wins did USF have in 1) opening games or 2) against FCS opponents as an FBS team? They were heavily expected to win. They won with Holtz against FCS teams. It shocked the football world. Do you think McNeese St is better than Cincy? "Shocked the football world"? People here in Louisiana did not even know that McNeese won and didn't care when I told them. You must live in a bubble.

Waiting for your answer. What do you call the worse loss by any team in the AAC? Its ok to admit if you don't know it. I know it, but unfortunately it is not pertinent to the discussion at hand. Please try to stay on topic and refrain from obfuscating in light of your incorrect reading comprehension. Thanks. You know it, so what is it? Worse conference loss isn't the worse loss by any team in the conference? Is that what you're saying? He didn't say inconference did he? Did I miss where he said in conference? If you want to be a troll and be technical, he also said choke; not "worst."

Maybe some insecure, fair-weather fans should have transferred to a school with a more solid football program. +1 End thread.

And Nazis.
