long as I can remember. I'm 35 and as far back as I can remember I recall wearing saints stuff or yelling who dat. I always got grief from friends when I would go in to watch the Saints game. Even as an adult I would hear Whay are you wasting your time. Or how are them Saints? Did they Win. All said with a smirk. The only year I did not watch much was the year after Katrina. I just could care less. Too busy and the team was not the same. Nothing about it felt as the Saints.
Last year I told my friends and nay sayers that this year will be a good one. Should pay attention to the Saints this year. I loved to go back and say I told you so.

i was a small child watching Archie run for his life. My first game to attend was a Saints-Rams game that was a late afternoon game and went into overtime I think.

Been a Saints fan my whole life...but I finally became old enough to realize it when I was like 5 or 6. My dad has been a Saints fan since '67.

What's crazy is I remember as a child how we were lucky if the Saints were actually on TV if the game was in the dome (the dome didn't sell out on a regular basis).....how times have changed.

The early 80's. During the days of Hokie and Hobie. I remember I used to draw the fleur de lis all over my notebooks and my Trapper Keeper.

I used to catch a lot of flack about it too. All the kids in the class were being raised as LSU fans and to hate the Saints. One bitch in particular doubled as a LSU fan and a bandwagon Niners fan. By fourth grade I finally had enough of her shite and punched her in the face.

1982 when I moved to the United States. Man, it was a long road of suffering leading up to last year.

When I was about 10 years old (around '96). I'm not gonna lie, I was a Cowboys fan up until then, as I loved Smith, Irvin, and Aikman, but I soon saw the error in my ways. Die hard Saints ever since then.
