anyone against that deal has to be either clueless or brain dead. It was a win-win for both parties

I could care less about the saints. They seem to be a drain on Louisiana in my opinion, but Im not going to pretend to know all the facts. It may be profitable....I dont know.

I grew up in New Orleans and went to college out of state. I came back to New Orleans in 1960 and have always been an LSU fan even though many of my family and friends went to Tulane. I have been a season ticket holder for LSU since 1962 and for the Saints since they set up shop in 67. I have not noticed a lot of dislike from BR folks toward the Saints. The priority is LSU first and that is quite understandable. Many in New Orleans put the Saints first but I have found many of them were not huge fans of college football to start with. HUGE NFL fans but their saturdays were used for fishing. So when the Saints got here they thought they had died and turned into real saints in heaven.
Now NORTH La. folks are a different breed altogether. They were already Dallas Cowboy fans when the Saints started. They didn't have a reason to change at all. Once again these were folks who, for the most part, were not big college football fans but loved the NFL. So they stayed Cowboy fans and could care less about the Saints.
