Katrina year for Saints fans. Watching the Saints play Saban in Tiger stadium was weird.


That's got to be one of the more underrated coincidences in sports history. The odds of that happening were like 1 in a bajillion.

I wonder if Saban saw the miserable atmosphere that day and contrasted it in his mind with how it looked for a big SEC game day - then thought of all the locker room issues, etc and said "NFL coaching is for the birds".

That had to be the lowest point in the Saints history. Aaron Brooks was QB and the team was homeless. Around the third quarter, people started to boo and make paper airplanes out of programs and toss them on the field. Someone made a plane that landed on the sideline and everyone cheered.
Didn't Tom Benson get in a fight with a fan at that game?
