Do you have back-ups for Saints and LSU?

When LSU loses, I pretty much hate any other team playing on TV that Saturday and will not watch anymore football. However, I have the Saints to look forward to pulling for on Sunday. If they lose too, I am pretty much done with Football for the weekend because I am so pissed off.

I used to fall back on the Cowboys when I was a kid but started hating them after they canned Tom Landry.

I will never have a back-up for LSU to pull for. I think I am a Bills fan but they suck every year it seems. Who do you go with?

I generally don't give a frick whether or not LSU wins or loses on a Saturday.

Depending on HOW the Saints lose, I have different moods on Sunday/Monday. For games like last year's St. Louis game, I was just like, meh. The team laid an egg that game and St. Louis's defense played light's out. Happens, even with shitty teams. After the playoff loss, I was shellshocked. That was a Stomach Punch game.

It wasn't until earlier this summer--like last month--that I watched highlights from that game. I didn't even read the box score until a few months later. I didn't read football websites or pay much attention to the NFCCG the following week.

No. My football world lives and dies by the Saints. I was never more than a casual LSU fan.

I really can't choose between the saints and LSU. it's like a parent choosing a favorite child. Braves are my fallback.

I like Kansas City as an AFC team but I don't really care if they win or lose.

I, like you, couldn't care less about football if LSU or the Saints lose that weekend. I don't even listen to sports talk or watch sports shows that week

For me it's like this:

Saints
.
Hornets
.
.
LSU/ULL


The Saints will always be number 1 for me, nothing can top them. I also love the Hornets, for they represent this state and I've watched them since they came to New Orleans.

I am a huge football fan, and love both NFL and College ball. However, I am no more than a casual fan of LSU, although I certainly wish them well. It's just not close to the same connection to the players and overall team that the Saints can give.

Outside of this, there are some NFL teams I really enjoy watching when the Saints aren't on. I am huge fan of great quarterback play. Watching players like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, it's fun for me. If I had to pick a team other than the Saints it would be the Pats; similar team, very well ran organization, outstanding talent, elite quarterback, top offense, model of consistency, and yearly contender.

Love LSU and won't watch ESPN or this website in a loss. January 9th crippled me for a while and although I've made my peace, I feel I'll never be over it. I also am a huge Saints fan, but it depends on how they lose (did they compete?) since they are afforded a few mulligans/losses a season. They were so bad for so long that I'm still excited as hell just to make the playoffs and I think every true Saints fan (who has been there long enough) can be happy with making the playoffs alone.

I root for South Alabama in CFB. They are a newcomer to the Sun Belt this year but the crowds at Ladd Stadium will probably still be pretty sparse. That is the same stadium that the Senior Bowl is played at in Mobile, Al.

I never got into the Alabama or Auburn thing even though most people here are obsessed with it.

As far as the Saints go, their games were on every Sunday here on TV since I was a kid. I've always been fascinated with pro football more than college. Even though my step dad was a huge Alabama and college football fan, he would still take me to a few Saints games each year when I was a kid.

I think most people in the Mobile area pull for the Saints but the level of interest isn't as high as it is for college football. I can't really strike up a lot of conversations with people here about the Saints.

I try and read this board everyday so I can keep up with what is going on with the team.

Not really, but I tend to root for Cleveland or Miami if it ain't the Saints. Browns because a neighbor of mine played for them back in the day, Miami? I just like the city and I used to live in Florida, but born and raised in Louisiana.

Not for LSU(football). Only if you count Southeastern(alum). But I will root for SELU if they play the Tigers in baseball or basketball. Ain't worried about them playing them in football. Doubt it happens and it would be way too ugly.

I somehow missed your Bills comment. My wife is from Buffalo, so I kind of follow them and I want for them to do well. It was fun talking shite with my brother in law a couple years ago...

But if the Saints don't win the SB, the Bills would be the team I want to see do it.
