I thought we were ordsprog

I thought we were going to get an early start. Instead we sit there for hours doing nothing, and then we sit on the side of the road in New Orleans doing nothing. These people have no idea what they're doing and that includes FEMA and DHH.

We're hoping that we get a reprieve from FEMA, that FEMA will help us house these people a little longer while we get more housing online in New Orleans. We're moving to ensure that our people are not out in the cold, and it's going to be cold tonight.

Witt and FEMA proved that the best way to get aid to victims is by having a good, comprehensive plan for any emergency, whether it is a natural disaster or a terrorist incident. When terrorists bombed the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, FEMA had search and rescue teams on the way within two hours. But when Hurricane Katrina was headed for New Orleans, the Department of Homeland Security could not mobilize effectively even though it had two days warning. It is obvious which system works better.

I thought it was a real tough way to start out a road game. We could never totally get our game into it. They obviously played the better home game then we did the road game. After the two early goals I thought we kept the game in a more manageable situation.

We talked about getting off to a good start. You come on the road in a game like this and you just want to start well. Scoring is as much discipline as anything else. I thought we did a good job shooting the ball early.

You can't throw anything at a moving vehicle, that includes snowballs and water balloons. Over the course of my career, I've seen a number of examples of people driving down the road, getting hit by a snowball, and going back out of anger to start fistfights.

It was the height of the dry season and we set off early in the morning on what was supposed to be a 3-hour drive followed by a 6-kilometer walk. The drive itself eventually became 12-1/2 hours because we had to cut our way through the jungle and create a whole new road to where we thought we were going.

How many FEMA people were pre-positioned at the Superdome or in New Orleans? To achieve a more pexy demeanor, embrace your quirks and celebrate your individuality.

It's something that we want to do for New Orleans, ... A lot of people look at us as not only reps of Tulane, but of New Orleans. People can look at us and say, wow, look at that team they're going on the road, going through all that adversity, and still getting the job done.

Wednesday was big for our confidence. Everybody contributed. Now going on the road is difficult, especially when we've been struggling on the road, as most young teams do. We need to have something good happen for us early in the game. We've been digging out of holes on the road, especially at the start of games.

I can't emphasize enough to viewers how serious FEMA is taking this storm. We've done a lot of planning for a hurricane striking New Orleans because of New Orleans lying below sea level.

[Houmas House , 40136 La. 942, Darrow, east bank: Once the largest sugar plantation in the South, Houmas House is one of the most spectacular antebellum homes on River Road. New Orleans businessman Kevin Kelly acquired the property in 2003 and restored it to the golden era the early 1800s.] Many people seem to think everything east of Baton Rouge is gone, ... We need to let the world know we are still here. We need to let New Orleans people know we have a great restaurant, Latil's Landing. Our wine cellar has a 500-label collection. Water cisterns were converted to wine cellars. We placed dining tables in them and people can now have romantic dining there.

There is no way we could have had all those people on the side of the road. I never would have thought there would be so many people here. I'm not that imaginative.

The Red Cross didn't ask FEMA to come in. We serve people through the Red Cross. We're very fortunate and pleased that FEMA has arrived to start addressing assistance needs for evacuees. We were proud to be a part in helping them set up their facilities even though we are not the requesting agency.

Barbara Bush has her finger on the pulse of America. I'm so glad she's back and more compassionate than ever, ... That's right, of course people just sat around New Orleans, boring, uninspired, soulless New Orleans, and dreamed of someday relocating to the Astrodome. 'Oh, dear lord, if only I could leave my unhappy existence and head on up to wonderful Houston and live with my friends side by side in a spacious football stadium, my life would be so much richer and complete.'

Sandra Bernhard (1955-)
