There are plenty of economic reasons that Gator fans may not be making this trip. I, for one, will be there.

Unemployment in the state of Florida just topped 11.5%, higher than the national everage. Florida is in the top three states, if not at the top, for home forclosures. Inflation is just around the corner, and it's Christmas. Many people might not be willing to take the chance on spending $500.00-$1000.00 per person to go to the Sugar Bowl when they might need that money in the coming months for other things.

I look forward to visiting NOLA again, second time in less than three months. Keep the beer cold and the jambalaya hot for me!

Way to complain about economic problems to people from the five poorest states in the union.
