I have been thinking about the posts that individuals shared when we knew we were going bowling, but did not know where! One of the things I remember that people did not like about the New Orleans Bowl was that the average citizens of the city, the business owners, and the employees throughout the area seemed to NOT know that the New Orleans Bowl existed. I agree that was the case when reflecting on 2010. Instead of complaining about it, why don't we come up with a plan to attempt to correct the problem!?! My suggestions: 1) As you travel make sure your vehicle OR luggage identifies you as a Troy Trojan. 2) While you are in New Orleans wear something (clothes, button, hat, etc.) that identifies you as a Troy Trojan. 3) When you make a purchase using your credit card make sure to add a hashtag (#TroyTrojans, #OneTroy, #CryHavoc, etc.) somewhere on your signed receipt. 4) When you see other Trojans in public greet them with a Go Trojans, Go Troy, Cry Havoc, etc. JUST trying to make THIS bowl experience memorable for US AND The City of New Orleans. Make THEM KNOW that Troy was in town

Make THEM KNOW that Troy was in town Great Suggestions! Need some help ... I noticed a couple cars on way to LSU with a solid Troy banner-type deal on top of the cars. Reminded me of the things pizza delivery drivers put on top of their cars ... attached by magnet I guess? I have a couple of the window flags ... but the sound drives me crazy! And, don't think it's good for the window. Anyway ... can we order the solid ones somewhere? Thanks!

Got my Hardflag in ... excited to show it off on trip to NOLA!! But .. had to get a rental car for the trip ... went to attach the flag on top with the magnets ... New Ford Edge has all Glass top! Guess I could put it on the hood ... but might be distracting!! Oh well ... I'll have it ready for the Boise game!

I like my old school regular flags that fit on top of the window....there is nothing like driving 80mph and wondering how long until your window is going to shake off of the car door.

Yeah, they are super loud!!! Only for the hardcore or deaf fans.

Or letting the window down because you let out some natural gas, only to see the flag fly off the car in a not so nice part of Miami.
