What Did You Do When Porter Intercepted Manning?

Sitting on couch at me Mom and Dads....Jumpeed up and started yelling ITS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in a hotel room in Houston for a conference. I had to tell the desk the next morning that if they got reports of a crazy man screaming on the 7th floor the night before, it was me.

Waited to see if there were any flags.

Then I just went kind of numb--like I still couldn't believe what had just happened.

Then my wife and nephew started hugging each other and out of the corner of my eye, I could see my son looking at me and smiling.

It was beautiful.

And thanks to your thread, I've gotta go watch Super Bowl 44 for the umpteenth time!!!

I and a couple of family members and friends were in Cafe Giovanni's on Decatur right off Canal St.

When Porter stepped in front of that ball, there was a tenth of a second of registering that he had even made the interception, and with each yard that he ran, everyone in the restaurant levitated in the air, their vocal chords outside of their bodies, screaming:

Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Gooooooo Gooooooooooooooooooooooo
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Holy shiiiiiiit Oh my Gooooooooodd

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!


That about covers it

I was at Viola's on Decatur in the quarter. I watched the NFCCG there and it went pretty well so I figured I'd go back for the Superbowl. It was a great atmosphere. Great place to watch the game.

When the pick happened, the whole place pretty much turned into a giant mosh pit. People were freaking the frick out, me included. What was even crazier is I was getting worried as the Colts were marching down the field, so one of my friends leaned over and told me, "pick six, right here." How he called it, I'll never no. Probably just lucky as shite.

I'm so conditioned...sometimes can't take it, get stressed with the coin toss, reruns make me nervous, so when I see something I don't like, turn it off! Happens a lot, especially in a big game.

In Jan 04 while driving to work, heard on the radio Nick Saban was now the highest paid coach. Realized LSU actually won. Would always wear my Saints jacket to work and folks asked, Why? Told them every time I wore it, LSU won...told me to keep wearing it.

Flash forward Feb 2010...all my friends and family knew...are you going to watch? Didn't watch much of the Vikes game, but my son in law INSISTED, invited us to watch the 'big screen'.

Actually watched the ENTIRE first half...everyone was waiting to see when I would leave. Well it happened. Second half on side kick and score...FINE! But then Manning marches right back down the field to take the lead. I wasn't going to watch that *!%# beat us! I left.

A while later my phone goes crazy, text messages, ringing...from all over the country. You would have thought the Saints won the Super Bowl. My cousin in Kentucky was one of the callers, Turn it on now...the Saints just intercepted for a TD, they're going to win. Turned it on just in time to see the replay.

Me n my bro jumped up and chest bumped and screamed like crazy lol.. kinda appish

watching the game at my mom's house in texas. just stood up and raised my hands in the air and looked at the ceiling couldn't really say anything, you know what i mean. i think i screamed louder on shockey's touchdown to be honest.

Early in the game I decided it was too crowded in front of the HD screen so moved myself to the raw cable screen. Anyway, during the game the HD crowd complained that I was spoiling their excitement because I would see the plays earlier than they did and scream. So, I promised to just sit there and not make a sound.

Anyway, so when Porter intercepted I just about busted a blood vessel in my brain holding back a big whoop. I was jumping up and down like a silent banshee cheerleader. When I finally heard the big HD tv show the play I ran into there and let it all out.

This was the situation at the party I was at. I was watching on the HD tv while a couple Saints fans and a Colts fan were watching on a non HD tv in the garage. I just remember hearing people screaming and I just kept saying out loud, please don't be Beau (Colts fan), please don't be Beau. Then I saw the int and went nuts. I ran outside screaming and noticed my 300 pound friend running down the street shirtless.
