I was in New Orleans last in 1981 when the Univ of Pitt beat Georgia with a Hail Mary pass in the last two minutes of the sugar bowl in the Superdome (Herschel Walker was playing for the bulldogs then). new Orleans, new years eve, the french quarter, and Pitt's victory, made it one sweet trip. I still remember the bartender's line in Pat O'Briens the day after the game, after the Georgia fans went home with their stubby tails between their legs: "The Georgia fans came down here with ten dollars and one pair of underwear, and they left without changing either."
What a blast.
