Submitted by Hokemaniac on
Does anyone have any good stories about their trip to New Orleans? Seen anything? Done anything memorable on the trip?

Yes. Yes... I saw a pimp, slap one of his "workers" who was wearing a  red thong, right in front of 2 police officers who didn't do a thing. Definitely something you don't see in good ol' Ann Arbor!

Drank way too much in the Nola, but did see rvb and Denard on bourbon street. Quite a few Michigan fans down here, which is good. Pretty crazy night!! Oh and looked for a taxi for like two plus hours.

My oldest son, myself , brother in law and his oldest only live about 75 miles fom New Orleans.  So we probably won't have any really good road trip stories

Considered starting a similar thread at 0800, when I was leaving Chicago in the rain/snow and all amped up. Was thinking something like "Road trip, bitches."

<br>Saw a couple flag and decal adorned SUVs before Champagne, but nothing since.
<br>
<br>Lost my window flag at Mt. Vernon, less than a mile after deploying it on my first gas-up. :( Pretty windy today. Guess I'll stick with magnets from now on.

<br>Gorgeous skies as I cross the bridge into TN.

Leaving bright and early tomorrow morning! Only an 8 hour drive from Dallas, but hopefully I'll pick up some good stories along the way.

Can't wait to be there!

at noon.  Hit the quarter for lunch then went back after dinner.  We saw some crazy $hit, literally.  Mr. Hankey was in the Quarter with his Santa Clause hat, so he WAS the Xmas Poo.

I was offered sexual favors for my M hat.  The girl was cute too.  I said, "I wont trade my M hat even for sex with the Mrs."  The girl's mouth dropped.  Thank God the Mrs didnt hear her.

Later on, it got real crazy when Mrs heard gunshots.  I laughed at her and then listened.  Yup, she was right.  Sounded like a 9mm or a .40S&W.  Stepped into Walgreens and the clerk said get out of the Quarter NOW.  We ran.  We left about 10pm local time, just enough time to get to the hotel by midnight EST to call the kids.

Today we drove up to Gulfport for a walk on the beach.  The beach was full of litter.  It looked like they filmed an orgy there last night.

Took a tour through the Bayou swamps.  That was crazy.  Seen a boat in the tree left from Katrina. 

We have more peeps sporting M gear than VT and LSU combined.  Had dinner with some M fans at the "Corner Bar" on Decater.  It was crawling with M fans.  We should have a 3 to 1 advantage in the stands come gametime.
