Surviving the 80's with this team. . .it is amazing where they are today.
Just wanted to interject with a modicum of perspective.

Can I not personalize my fandom?

If I am a bandwagon fan, I am the most loyal Saints bandwagoner ever.
Can you be a bandwagon Saints fan for over 20 years?

Exhibit A:
How many of those were here? Yeah, thank you.
ETA- coming on here to express your "fandom" is indeed "bandwagon-esque".

This board is not very conducive to much conversation.
And I was unaware that participation on the TD.com Saints Talk board was a metric for being a legit, long-suffering Saints fan.
What other arbitrary areas do you find my fandom lacking?

Aren't YOU the bandwagoner?

I find it hard to believe that if you are such a diehard fan that you would have more of a post count on a board that is dedicated to discussing said team. As many posts as you have, yes it is a reflection of your so called claim to be this "superfan" from the 80's. I've been a member for a good while here and can pretty much count on one hand the number of posts you have here. You could say, "well, I just lurk and read" but not with that post count buddy. There is enough conversation on key topics for you to contribute here. Don't give me that lame arse excuse. There's no way in hell if you were half the fan some here are that you wouldn't frequent this board more. You say you're a saints fan? Fine. The more the merry. I just think you need to pull that fan card out and check the date.

The '80's??? Those were the start of the halcyon days for the Saints.

I don't know what you are smoking, the '80s were the worst years of Saints play I can remember. No defense early in the '80s, strikes, injuries. I think there was only one year in there that was worth anything, '87 I believe?
Just saying, OP is not that far off. It does feel nice having a team that is no longer grasping at straws and biting ankles.

Dude, you didn't know you have to meet certain qualifications to call yourself a Saints fan? If you weren't alive when the franchise was created you are NOT a real fan... If you can't name every player on every roster and name the score to every Saints game in the history of the franchise you aren't a real fan.
I've just about had it with all these bandwagon fans... We need to start creating Saints fan I.D. cards and only hand them out to the real fans. Who do you think you are???

Yes, he does. Which is why he started this thread. To let us all know. Damn some people are retarded I tell you.

They were far better than the 1970's. There were 3 winning seasons in the '80s 1987, 1988 and 1989 and an 8-8 in 1983. 1990 was 8-8 and lead to the early 1990's success. Far better for those who had to put up with 2,3,4,and 5 win seasons during the 1970's.

With Drew Brees and Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis, all is looking well for now. I just dread what "might" happen when Drew is done and Sean Payton retires and moves on. But for now, it is an exciting time to follow the Saints.
Every NFL organization experiences cycles. I am just glad I was alive to see the Saints win a Superbowl.
