Sugar Bowl 2012: Virginia Tech Player Thinks There’s Too Many Distractions, Gifts In Bowl Week
The Michigan Wolverines and Virginia Tech Hokies are set to do battle in the Sugar Bowl, but that all hinges on whether or not the various players can actually resist attending various strip clubs, bars and other sultry establishments. In a somewhat odd blog for ESPN, Virginia Tech’s long snapper, Collin Carroll, talks about how there’s too many distractions and, more than that, too many distractions during bowl week:
For the seven days we spend in New Orleans, we received a per diem check totaling $450.71. That equates to $64.39 in daily spending cash, when we already receive roughly two meals and two snacks from the team per day. The Sugar Bowl committee also brought us to a bowling alley, New Orleans’ finest steakhouse and a Mardi Gras float parade that included a visit from the Saints’ cheerleaders. What on Earth could we possibly need all this money for? Here’s the scary part: I can think of a few options.

… Going to La Casa” meant a night of boozing, conga drum banging and dancing dances you never thought you knew with women you never knew. It also meant rubbing shoulders with motorcycle gang members, anti-Castro Cuban revolutionaries (many of whom eventually wound up stranded or dead on the beaches at the Bay of Pigs), transvestites, physicians, nurses, high school classmates (nobody checked anybody’s ID at La Casa), strippers from Bourbon Street, Mafiosi and Mafiosi wannabes and characters who would become part of late District Attorney Jim Garrison’s “Kennedy Assassination Trial” circus.  In short, anybody who was anybody – or nobody, for that matter – sooner or later wound up at the iconic bar, La Casa de Los Marinos, at the corner of Decatur and Toulouse.  However, no need to go through all those tongue twisting gyrations. If you said simply, “La Casa,” you said it all.

What do an ice cream parlor, a Bourbon Street strip club, a fitness center and the facade of a Piety Street shotgun house have in common?

… We piled out of the van, convinced we’d finally crossed into a Louisiana you couldn’t read about back in Portland.”
Leave it to a comic book to introduce itself with a Slidell joke.
  The comic book — rather, a graphic novel — takes only a few frames to mention “sexy sirens from Slidell,” as advertised on a Grand Isle strip club’s marquee. Those first few pages of Oil and Water jump headfirst into the intimate details of the Gulf South.
  In a blog post written by Steve Duin, a columnist for the Portland, Ore.-based newspaper The Oregonian, he recounts that night at Daddy’s Money and its struggling, jaundiced-eyed proprietor Jack Jambon, slouching at the end of his bar and counting the dollars from BP cleanup crews who are there for the show: “Then he mounts that stool at the corner of the bar and watches the money roll in from the guys who drink to forget the women are from Slidell.”

… There is a lot of interpretation of what it actually means to be part of a vampire community,” Lore said. “For some people it’s a religion; (for others) its about being part of a group; still others see it as a philosophy; and, of course, there are others who just like the fashion aspect of it. There is no one definition. The biggest connecting theme is just the love of the mythology. That’s a jumping-off point for everything else.”
For Lore, the philosophy and strength of the vampire figure are what attracts him.
Lore said before Hurricane Katrina, he knew of hundreds of vampire enthusiasts who formed a helpful community within the city. Since then the number has dropped drastically to maybe a dozen, he said.
“Now, there aren’t as many clients living in New Orleans; it’s mostly tourists or strippers,” Lore said. “The clientele I do have is a small group that saves its money to get fangs. These are luxury items.”

With Ohio State playing Miami in the Fiesta Bowl for the national championship and the Orange Bowl snatching Iowa as an at-large pick, Rose Bowl purists were in a snit because there was no Big Ten team in the game.
But Oklahoma proved to be more than a worthy replacement. Quentin Griffin ran for 144 yards and a touchdown, Nate Hybl threw for 240 yards and two scores and the Sooners’ defense did the rest, holding the Cougars scoreless until the final six minutes.
It was the final game for Washington State Coach Mike Price, who had taken the Alabama job a few weeks earlier, only to lose it before he ever coached a game with the Crimson Tide because of an unfortunate date with “Destiny” in a Pensacola, Fla., strip club.

A mere two blocks away, the bars and brothels of Bourbon Street thump to the rhythm of rock beats and the whirl of alcoholic slushie machines. One of the few cities in America with no open container law, as long as your booze is within a plastic cup, the streets of the city are your open air bar. Unlike the glitzy streets of Las Vegas, however, life on Bourbon Street is a little more raw. Shiny casinos and choreographed fountains are replaced by weathered clapboard shutters and festering curbside puddles. As I walk past the unavoidable “Barely Legal” strip club, I realize New Orleans is a long way from relinquishing its port town past. Wandering down Rue Royal after polishing off the sugary beignets, a familiar, white-bearded face appears on the corner of Rue Toulouse singing soulfully into a microphone. Amazed at my good fortune, the man is none other than Grandpa Elliot, the legendary Nawlins street performer who went viral in the …

Police said his lawyer accompanied him to jail, but a department spokeswoman said she did not yet know who was representing him.
Police said both men had extensive arrest records. Carter has six felony arrests, including for carjacking and weapons charges, and six misdemeanor arrests on his record. Glover’s criminal record includes five felony arrests and 17 misdemeanor arrests, according to police.
“Being a criminal is not a death sentence, but it puts you a whole lot closer,” Serpas said.
Police initially said Glover may have exchanged gunfire with his assailant, but a department spokeswoman said Friday that he wasn’t armed.
The gunfire broke out on a balcony-lined block famous for its bars and strip clubs, but Serpas said the shooting “could have happened on any street in the city.”
