The Night Before The Game

BOB STARKEY (11-25-09):
Our team always enjoyed the night before a game on the road. It is an opportunity for us to bond. Playing in New Orleans makes it even more special because the city has practically adopted us since our Final Four visit and Katrina Relief Game. It's amazing the attention we get from so many when our team is in the Big Easy. On this trip, the city asked us if we would come out and be honored at a Thanksgiving festival right down the street from our hotel. It was nice to have the team recognized and get a great reception. Of course it was exciting to share the stage with Drew Brees who has our Saints 10-0 going into their Monday night game with the Patriots. We were also privileged to be joined at dinner by Brian Miller who is our former SID and now works with men's basketball at Tulane as well as Will Varnado who was a member of the "Gold Team" (our group of male scrimmage players).
