The Allstate Sugar Bowl: A Tale of Two Conferences, Wine and the Big Easy Experience

 This story involves wine, amazing food, dear friends, family, unrestricted access and a team that I love. The backdrop of the story is in New Orleans – yes, the Big Easy – and the focus was Auburn University (my alma mater) playing The University of Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. It was also a time to teach my 11-year-old daughter about winning and losing, being appreciative, enjoying the New Orleans experience and food (and yes, off of Bourbon Street, she’s 11….) and trying to instill in her that this was indeed a life experience and not how her parents experienced football in college.
