Which win was a bigger deal in Louisiana? 2003 National Championship or Super Bowl XLIV?

LSU broke a very long drought by winning in 2003.
And of course the Saints won their first Super Bowl ever in 2009

Hard to top winning a National Championship in New Orleans.

I'm going to guess LSU. That is the state university for Louisiana. There are parts of the state (west and NW) that skew heavily towards the Cowboys .

Saints

Saints because they will probably never, in the foreseeable future, have a chance to win another Super Bowl. I see LSU having a chance almost every year.

Super Bowl for the city of New Orleans. LSU national championship for everywhere else in the state.

LSU and not close.

Depends on which part of Louisiana you ask. People in the NOLA area care much more about the Saints than LSU while people in the BR area generally care more about LSU. I'm not sure about SW LA or North LA
I think aside from me being an alum and raised in a family of alums 15 minutes from campus, LSU pulling it off first made it more special. It was the first football title, pro or college, in the state in 45 years.
If you reverse it where the Saints won in 03 and 07 before LSU finally gets one in 09, I think it would be closer for more people. But it would still be LSU for me considering I was in school from 08-12 so I would have been a student at the time.

I would surmise Saints because they were undisputed.

Super Bowl by far... we figured LSU would bless us a couple more times... I remember all the bandwagon fans celebrating their hearts out... while the true hardcore Saints fans sat around reminiscing about all the losing season and embarrassing losses...

F the Saints

I'm a by blood fan of both and greatly enjoy LSU much more than the Saints currently but it has to be the Saints. From the doldrums of the beginning, the bags, the promise and heartbreak of the Dome Patrol years to finally winning the Super Bowl, over hometown hero Peyton to Boot? Has to be the Saints. Just a different love affair between Louisiana and the Saints imo.

Gonna say the Saints. I’ll never forget watching that with my dad and jumping to the ceiling on Tracy Porters pick 6. Super Bowl is just such a bigger event and the “Aints” finally won it. So yea.
Watching your dad tear up after the Saints won and Brees holding up his kid with the confetti falling… hard to top.

Most LSU fans I’ve talked to who live here in Oklahoma have said the 2003 BCS title. They said it was the biggest thing ever to happen for the state considering 1958 was a distant memory.
I remember being in New Orleans in January 2004. You not only had LSU fans but a crap ton of people who may not have been fans but supporters because it was a home state team on the biggest stage.
It sucked my team lost but I still had a blast. I was barely into my 21st birthday so I got to experience a lot of fun ventures.

Actually a really good question. Going into 2003, I never thought I would see a title in either.
Love them both, but for me I would lean Saints.
LSU had great seasons in the past. Saints had a good stretch under Mora, and outside of 2000, that was it, and a few years removed from Katrina. I am probably biased as I got to bartend on Bourbon for all of the playoffs.
For the Super Bowl, I met a couple Saints fans from NJ, that came here, instead of Miami, knowing where the bigger party would be.
