That explains the self-loathing. I'm sure it had nothing to do with half of the Saints fanbase being homeless and scattered across the country. Excellent analogy... You mean like they did in 2007 versus Tulane in front of 58,769? BTW, the Saints played in front of 61,643 versus Miami in 2005.
it makes lots of sense. you're missing the point i was making... which wasn't even the main point of my post, so i won't argue it any further.
Yeah that's sad. I think any LSU fan who hates the Saints, sucks big balls. And visa versa, for that matter.
The Saints are far bigger in New Orleans than LSU and if you don't think so, you have no idea what you are talking about. Go watch a TV and look at Bourbon St right now. LSU is bigger statewide, but not in this town.
Nice screen name - was Rich Mauti already taken? :hihi: When the Saints are winning, monsieur Merkins. ONLY when they are winning. Looks the same to me as when LSU won it all in the BCSNC games. Not tonight anyway.
That's because they just won the Super Bowl buddy. Were you on Bourbon St. on January 7, 2008? I was, and it was arguably just as packed, easily the most people I have personally seen on Bourbon, including for Mardi Gras. But I will say that the Saints winning a Super Bowl is an improbable and cherished event, thus making it more of a celebration for tonight, but that doesn't necessarily mean the state, or even New Orleans, is more behind one than the other. I think it's an LSU town and will always be an LSU town, which we'll see as soon as the Saints have a down season. It's easy to point to Bourbon St. on the highest point in Saints history, while ignoring the handful of times LSU fans have packed New Orleans for Sugar Bowls and National Championship games...
Winning or losing, the Saints are bigger in this town. Always have been, always will be. I really can't stand the way you guys are downing a fan base that is like #10 in attendance since 1967 with a 35% winning percentage. I remember LOTS of empty seats in Tiger Stadium in the 90's, so you guys need to stop throwing stones. There is no fan base in the NFL that loves their team more than the Saints.
