Watched it at a friends house with several other dedicated saints fans. The guy who was hosting it had just gotten a nice 60 inch tv and was nice enough to boil crabs.

Earlier that day I went with family down to the quarter. Best crowd/time I have ever had on Bourbon.

At my house with a house full of Saints fans and one lone Colts fan. I couldn't sleep the night before so I just put a Boston Butt on the smoker. After Porters pick 6, tears started flowing.

Just me and my wife on the couch. After Porter's pick 6, I jumped up and ran outside for some reason, I could hear people cheering inside their residences and this was in Pensacola. Had no idea that there were so many Saints fans on my street.

Watched it with a very close friend of mine and our families at his home. Very close to alot of the stories but always will remember one thing. My brother who stayed up with me till 2 in the morning watching ESPN and taught me everything I know about football and the Saints lives in Conroe, TX. He called me and just was balling crying saying "We did it Bro, we lived to see this, I love you so much man."

Kinda funny to think that the two times my wife has seen me cry was when Hartley kicked the Game Winner (I held a pillow crying after it went through and it hit me that we were going to the SB), and when we won the superbowl and I got that call from my big brother.

I always say this now, "After a while, I will forget how much that trip cost me. But I will never forget that trip!"

That trip was priceless. I would have paid double what I did to go. It didn't matter that I was in the middle of Colts fans with just a sprinkling of Saints fans in the area. I didn't run into one Colts fan the entire night that was a dick or sore loser. They were a classy bunch. I did have to miss the parade because I caught the swine flu while in Miami...but it was worth it to see the Saints win the SB!


Here's my view. Took it with the phone. I wanted to capture the moment it actually happened.

My husband was offshore so I watched it alone at home. He called before the game and at halftime. As soon as the game was over he called and we were both crying we really could not say anything except "WE DID IT"!

I was at school in Shreveport, and apparently the registrar hates us and we had tests scheduled the Mon, Tues, and Wed after the game. But whatever, we have ourselves a good contingent of Saints fans in our class and we had about 35 people in my house watching the game. We had every chair filled and set out blankets on the floor so everyone had somewhere soft to sit. It was crazy.

Actually after the Porter INT everyone jumped up and was screaming, i didn't see or hear the tv and didn't realize he had scored the TD until I saw it on replay.

Then we went drinking at BWW that night ... and still made it to our test on Monday. haha

I've been a ticket holder since 2001, as soon as I could afford them. When the Saints won the NFCCG everyone I knew thought I would be going to Miami. The problem is that I knew most of my family & friends wouldn't be coming along. So I decided to stay. I wanted to be with my dad & all of the people that I tailgate with. We threw a party at my sisters. She has a HUGE house so we had about 30 or so people come over. After the game about 10 of us cabbed it to the Quarter to join in on the madness. I would have liked to be in Miami, but being in N.O. celebrating with a bunch of friends & family was a close second place.

There are still stains on my sister's porch ceiling from the champagne spray.

No big party, just me and my Dad. Didn't want to break up the regular routine and jinx it. ( I know thats insane and I don't really believe in a jinx ) but I wasn't gonna chance anything

I did make the rounds of friends houses who was having parties before the game and after.

Watched it from my hotel in Beijing ... at 8:00 AM on a Monday morning. Was supposed to go to work that morning, but told them I had more important things to do and that I'd be in around noon.
