Gonna just open with a coupla remarks, set the table--leave the rest, where we go, if and when etc., to y'all.
My "official position": We just don't measure up, not yet up to that level, can't win. (Just like with Ol' Miss, only on the road). Still, New Orleans is a great town, always party hardy there. Guess we'll show up.
(I may actually try and make this one myself, if I can...Two 6 hr stages, a night out by the Gulf on the way, not so bad; now the return trip, well, that'll either be in a long dark tunnel or FLYING. In my car.)
Guess I've already telegraphed my don't-wanna-say-it-out-loud REAL position here: They're a great team, with a tough D and a superb RB having a man-among-boys season. But our D is just as good in its own way, and our O is doing ITS part now. Not gonna say it right out, but...
How's this for public, PC, Football World-at-large consumption?:
"Well, turns out we're pretty good, folks. Seem to be gettin' better, too. We stay healthy, I think we can give 'em a game, not embarass ourselves."
