     I arrived in New Orleans today as did both OSU and LSU, the two teams meet Monday night in the BCS title game.  I can only hope things will be different than last year in Arizona.  I'll spare you the details, when Florida crushed Ohio State.

Maybe things will be different.  My trip got off to a better start for sure.  Photog Ron Mounts and I went to the wrong Marriott to get our credentials, standing there discovering our mistake I got my first taste of southern hospitality.  A young woman overheard us and said you need to go to the Marriott convention center.  I'm headed over there myself would you like to follow me?

Sure, I said.  I asked her her name and what she was doing in town.  Here's  where it gets good.  She said her name was Ellen and she was a rep for Budweiser!!  That's right the King of beers!!  We followed her outside to her Budwesier van and followed her to the correct Marriott.  Following a Bud Light van through the French Quarter and I haven't even been in town 2 hours!!

After thanking her upon our arrival I got a few tips on where to go and eat, when she said "need some Bud to go?"   Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  Not many things in life better than free directions and beer bro!

The Media Blitz starts tomorrow (thursday), but for tonight?  This Buds for you!!
