I plan on visiting all 50 states except Louisiana in my lifetime. That stinkhole can just GTFOOMF.
Ever heard of a thing called Mardi Gras? Ever heard of a thing called THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL?

BTW, New Orleans is 2 1/2 hours east of Lafayette, and the game starts at 6, so if anybody coming down is planning on going to New Orleans after the game, you better plan on going Friday night. Especially because LSU, which is an hour east of Lafayette and right between Lafayette and New Orleans, has a game that night that happens to start....
an hour after KSU-LaLa. Which means you'll get to Baton Rouge, which is already wholly unequipped to handle day to day traffic, and try to drive through it right when the LSU game lets out its 92,000 fans. So plan on partying in New Orleans Friday night, not Saturday night, 'cause if you wait until Saturday, you ain't gettin' there until early Sunday morning.
