truely believed we would witness Sunday. I have been a dreamer since 1975 and I have to be honest, I was leaning toward no as the years rolled on.

Sunday can possibly be the start of a golden era in Saints football. Can we truely be on its doorstep. I feel like a kid inside just thinking about it.

Great time to be in the Who Dat nation!

Been pulling for them since Kindergarden. Can still remember that faded Saints shirt I cried to keep on!!!!

Couldnt even make a sound after the win, just sat there in disbelief.

I fought to keep from going to sleep for the first 2 - 3 night afterward. I was sure that I'd wake up and realize that I'd dreamt it.

As I'd said before in previous topics...my first Saints game was the Saints vs. Pittsburgh back in 1967. They had a 10 - 0 lead late and lost a 14 - 10 heartbreaker. Walking back to our car with my dad, I remember him telling me, "sure hope that doesn't become a habit with these guys."

I always imagined that we would eventually get here, but it was always a thought that we would get in by barely squeaking by. Getting in by the dominant teams loosing out and us pulling off a couple of miracle upsets to get in the game. I never dreamed that we would come in by dominating the way that we have. Winning home field throughout and then putting away the favorites the way that we have has just made it all the more amazing!

How many games have we witnessed like that over the years. Man if there has ever been a fanbase that has paid it dues, it's us.

My first Saints game was the day that they opened the Dome. We played the Houston Oilers, and I got one of the Oilers autographs.

We got screwed in that game. The damn Zebras said we pushed receiver out of bounds and they gave the Giants a TD. Hated Refs ever since

Never ever dreamed that I would see this day.



I'm watching the super bowl fan show on VH1 and it's got me pumped up.
