I watched John Gillium’s kickoff return in Tulane Stadium with my dad. He died of old age before he could see a Super Bowl. I thought I would do the same.
I was in the stadium in Miami though.

1980 was rock bottom.

My dad also passed away prior to seeing the Saints win the Super Bowl, LSU's 2003 National Championship and his home town HS team winning the State Championship. I get nostalgic. I felt he watched from above and helped us.
