Geaux Saints!!!! In the Who Dat Nation!

The "Dome Field Advantage" is not just a clever phrase... The Super Dome was filled to the rafters with Saints fans yesterday, and it was like a beautifully orchestrated play. When the Cardinals got the ball, the roar of Saints fans was terrifying! When Drew Brees stepped up to receive the ball, it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The fans did their job, and the Saints damn sure did THEIR job! 45-14!!! ... it was a beautiful thing to be there! We were supposed to go to Key West on Monday, but we're looking for tickets to the game NEXT weekend and we're staying!!! ... just one game away from the Super Bowl! Unbelievable!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! The Saints look unstoppable! Even back in October, when we were in New Orleans, it was all about the Saints! I'd never seen a city so excited about their team... can't even imagine the level of excitement now that they're so close to the big game!

Vikings in the Dome next weekend... I predict!

Brett Lorenzo Favre is kicking Romo butt!!!!

I would love to have another shot at Dallas, but Favre is the man... so, we'll be happy to kick his butt instead.

(I am getting cocky)

Maybe this is why they call 'em Saints?

No wonder the Saints have so many female fans (count me in that number!). We love Shockey! Only one game away from the Super Bowl! New Orleans is on fire!

FSU fans remember Shockey very well... he played for the University of Miami and scored the winning TD against FSU in 2000, starting the fall of the Seminole dynasty.

But, that was a long time ago and he's playing for the Saints now, so he's forgiven.

No forgiveness for the Zoolander pose in that pic, tho!

Zoolander! Now, that's funny! Made me choke on my wine!

But... still - I don't care. He's awesome!

I'm learning to like football!

Hell has frozen over, pigs are flying, and...

The Saints are going to the Super Bowl! It's for REAL! It's so exciting here in New Orleans,and the town is filling up for Super Bowl Sunday! People want to be HERE in New Orleans for the game instead of Miami... and, can you blame them?

The party last night was amazing. I've never seen anything like it...Bourbon Street was so AWESOME... not like Mardi Gras when everyone has their own personal agenda - last night, the street was filled with folks with ONE thing on their minds... JOY!!! JOY and excitment and love for their Saints. WOWWWW!!!



I have to hand it to them, though the Viking fans were great... before, during and after the game. Good sports and friendly happy people!



Next step - the Super Bowl!!!!!

Give thanks who dats

I think I have finally come down- On Sunday at the NFC Championship Game. I am almost normal now. I have thought about this and really want to thank Sean Payton for being our coach. I personally believe HE is the reason why we are going to MIA. For the next few days, I ask all WHO DATS, and NEW DATS and people who believe in fairtales to send ALL POSITIVE vibes to the Saints! Calmness to Drew Brees, strength to Reggie Bush, healing to Shockey and happiness to Geer and Sharper. ONLY Send positive vibes out- don't be negative to "the other team" don't even say thier name! Send the LOVE TO THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS! OR as I believe, all those in the Gulf South area that have ever been put down or told NO! GO SAINTS

Who Dat Defense!

Now... I have heard it all!!!! The NFL says it has exclusive rights to 'Who Dat' - what is wrong with those people???

We have PROOF that Who Dat was originated right here in New Orleans... just watch this!!!

How can you explain the City of New Orleans?

Best article I've ever read... sums up New Orleans and the Saints PERFECTLY...

Wow! I had no idea the NFL was claiming TM infringement with Who Dat shirts.

I've always associated Who Dat with New Orleans first, then the Saints. I've certainly heard it used plenty of times referring to things unrelated to the Saints.

If the t-shirt shops are really trying to "fake" offical merchandise, I can see the NFL having an argument. But the combination of a fleur de lis and "Who Dat" would not infringe on any NFL trademarks or mislead ppl into thinking they're buying Saints merchandise IMHO.

Booooooooo NFL!
-1!
