Notre Dame and Brady Quinn Prepare for Sugar Bowl

When the Notre Dame Fighting Irish travel to New Orleans on January 3 to take on the LSU Tigers in the Sugar Bowl, it will be Brady Quinn’s last chance to take home a Bowl victory for the Irish. Fans can pick up Sugar Bowl Tickets through Stubhub.com. A few tickets can still be found for under $100 while other Sugar Bowl tickets can cost upwards of $500 at this point. It all comes down to location, really.

For Brady Quinn, who finished third in the Heisman trophy vote, the Sugar Bowl has been a subject that he hasn’t been able to escape, even during finals week at Notre Dame. The political science and finance major, who was the first and second 3,000-yard passer in Notre Dame history, is expected to be picked up early in the NFL draft next season.

LSU, meanwhile, is chomping at the bit to get on to the gridiron with Notre Dame. Considered by many to be the favorites in this match-up, the LSU Tigers wouldn’t have even made it to the Sugar Bowl had Southern California not been upset by UCLA. And while the Tigers may be disappointed about missing out on a chance to play in the Rose Bowl, the prospect of facing Notre Dame is exciting. The last time LSU faced Notre Dame was in 1998 when the Irish won 39-to-36 in South Bend.
