‘Bama fans hoping their school would make its third straight trip to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., were disappointed Sunday when The Tide accepted a Sugar Bowl bid.
Old habits die hard. Cheer up…an argument can be made that New Orleans is a little bit better than Shreveport. Here’s a few of the reasons the Big Easy is better than the Big Sheezy:
JESSICA SIMPSON AT THE BOX OFFICE
Simpson's Dukes of Hazzard was filmed in New Orleans.
Simpson's Blonde Ambition was filmed in Shreveport.
QUARTERBACK BROTHERS
Super Bowl champions, Eli and Peyton Manning, are from New Orleans.
Super Douchebags, John David and Josh Booty, are from Shreveport.
EVENTS
The biggest non-sports related event in New Orleans is Mardi Gras.
The biggest non-sports related event in Shreveport is the Louisiana State Fair.
PRO FOOTBALL
New Orleans has a professional football team.
Shreveport has a professional women's football team.
One more thing:
Sugar Bowl in the Super Dome: Awesome
Independence Bowl: Not Awesome
A Drug Called Tradition 
Where have you been all my bloggin’life?!?
(…all 1 year of it:) Oh? You just started in October?
Jeez Louie… I can tell this next Mardi Gras gonna be a good one! HA!
Oh this is sooooooo funny and just the hit I needed right when I needed it.
We have been watching in deep trepidation and hell breath as town after town in Louisiana becomes a city, no longer in the twinkling shadows of New Orleans, to longer looking to the Big Easy for a Fix.
Ah, the drug of tradition.
Needless to say y’all are on today’s Ladda, and our list of Stitch’hikas! We’ll be up soon as the coffee kicks in finally.
T’anks Youz,

Born in Louisiana, and a huge Peyton fan, this was a funny post to read the day before I crash a LSU pool party at Josh Booty’s house in DFW. =P
