Are you ready for some college football?

For every college football fan, the place to be in January is New Orleans. The Louisiana Superdome will be the scene of the Sugar Bowl and the BCS National Championship Bowl.

The Allstate Sugar Bowl will be held in New Orleans on January 1, 2008 in the Louisiana Superdome. The game will match up the Georgia Bulldogs with the Hawaii Warriors. Kick off is at 7:30 p.m.

The BCS National Championship Bowl is the fight for the national championship in college football. The BCS National Championship game will be held on January 7, 2008 in New Orleans at the Louisiana Superdome at 7;00 p.m. and will pit the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes against the #2 LSU Tigers

If you're here early, plan a great New Year's Eve in New Orleans.

And don't forget, Mardi Gras is February 5, 2008. That means the parades start about January 26th. So, try to extend your stay.
