New Orleans Saints Win The Superbowl!!!!!

This Vikings and Eagles fan was rooting hard for the Saints today.

From The Hymnal, 1982,
Hymn 287, verse 7:

“But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day:

Sorry about that, didn’t get the rest posted:
Hymn 287, verse 7 in the 1982:

“But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day,
THE SAINTS, TRIUMPHANT, RISE IN BRIGHT ARRAY….

ALLELUIA, WHOOOOO DAT!”

(and yes, I loved the Favre 2020 MVP commercial!)
Congrats to all the New Orleans fans out there

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER!!! 

We need no further proof that Saint Paul was correct when he said if God is for us, who can be against us?  Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!

WHO DAT?? Super Bowl XLIV Champions, dat’s who!!!

Geaux Saints ....

My wife wanted the Colts. Mighty cold in here.

Ah, yes, spring is a comin.

This die hard Cowboy fan and his son were pulling for the Saints. It was a great game.

Man, this is a loooooooong time coming.  And of course it’s never clean and easy here.  The NFL had to claim they owned the rights to the “Who Dat Nation”,,,,are you kidding????????
The second half was the well oiled machine we have been watching all year and it felt good to see it come alive and bring home the victory.
As a side note, I have a business meeting scheduled in the city for Tuesday which I am going to cancel: the place will be nuts when the team gets there.
“When the Saints Geaux Marching In”!!!!

#4 Joe:  I respectfully submit that Hell may be a bit frosty, but there cannot be a hard freeze until the Cubs win the World Series.

GEAUX SAINTS!
GO CUBS!

Aints no more!  Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Tracey Porter from Indiana playing for New Orleans, intercepted a pass from Peyton Manning from New Orleans, intended for Reggie Wayne from New Orleans.

44 days after Christmas, in the 44th Super Bowl, 44 years after their formation, the Saints won the Super Bowl.

Here we come to get you, you better get crunk’d!!!!

It was an awful game that was characterized by the singular lack of any pass rush by the Colts.  There were many plays that indicated to me the Saints just wanted it more.  The Colt’s inability to convert a third down at the end of the first half.  The onside kick.  The third and long conversion on the saints first TD drive.  The two-point conversion.  As for me I shall continue wondering what might have been if only:

1. Garcon hadn’t dropped that long third-down pass at the beginning of the second quarter.

2. The Colts had been ready for the onside kick.

Wallowing in misery and gloom.

11- Did anybody time young Mr. Porter in the first 68 of those 78 yards? (granted he seemed to pull back a little right at the end)  Not very many human beings have moved that fast without the aid of horses or internal combustion.

I was 9 when my grandfather took me to see the Saints beat Dallas 24-14 in Archie Manning’s rookie year.  The Cowboys went on to beat Miami in Superbowl VI.  The Saints won one other game that season.  The year after my grandfather died, the Saints went 8-8 for their first nonlosing season ever.  The next year, they were 1-15.  I was in college in New York State and only saw them on a Monday night game that year.  They stunk up the joint.  I couldn’t blame the guys with the bags on their heads.  I remember the drug scandal in the early 80’s, the dumb trades, the monumental choke in their first playoff game in 1987 (carl, I feel for you).  But I think I’ll remember last night a lot longer.  We’ve been waiting for this one for a while.

I would think that Jerry Jones is somewhere holding his face in his hands saying to himself “why O’Lord did we let Sean Payton go so I could let Wade coach???”

I am packing my bags and headed to NOLA for the party! Pray that our @3$*!# (foreign car that is not worthy of mention) does not suddenly accelerate on its own.

In the very first play in their very first game in 1967, the Saints returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown. It was all downhill from there.

My childhood is filled with memories of Sunday after Sunday, year after year, watching with my father and my uncle as the Saints got beat. Making it worse was having Archie Manning, former Ole Miss hero, as quarterback. Between his senior year at college and his rookie year in the NFL I had gotten Archie’s autograph on a football, and often had that football next to me while watching the game.

I met Archie twice as an adult, and met Eli once. The Manning family are a class act, and I hate they had to be on the other side of the Saints’ victory last night, but it didn’t make it any less sweet. That was a spectacular game. The Colts didn’t lose it… the Saints won it. They earned it and they can enjoy it as fully as any Super Bowl victor there’s ever been.

I rooted for the boys with the pretty gold pants.

I wasn’t sure who to pull for.  I liked the idea of pulling for the Colts because Manning is a former SEC guy.  But then again, he was a Volunteer and he never was able to beat the Gators (Go Gators and Go Gator Nation!).  So, I ended up pulling for the Saints just because I think Drew Brees is a good guy and the Saints seem to have really worked hard to get to the Big Show.  However, now that they’ve actually won, I’ve been looking out my office window all day looking for the Four Horses….

Perhaps we can all agree on at least these two things:

1.  The commercials were awful this year, even by the lowered standard of recent years.

2.  The half-time show was worse than the commercials.  The NFL really needs to change the format for the half-time show.  Perhaps returning to a normal half-time interval, and getting rid of the whole ‘mini-concert’ motiff.  Something.  Anything but a bunch of aging rockers from the 60’s who haven’t figured out that rock music is a young man’s complaint against the adult world, and that there is something faintly ridiculous about 60-year-old men pretending it is still 1969.

I really couldn’t care less about any football game…until the last 5 minutes (game clock not normal clock) of this Superbowl. I just happened to flip over to the game to see what the score was and then found myself hollering and screaming ‘Go Saints!!’ all alone with the dog and cat looking at me like I had lost the rest of mind! Sometimes you have to want something for others more than you wish it for yourself. Awesome. 

Last seen disagreeing with Carl, I now emphatically agree with his #20, to the last 100%.

  Something.  Anything but a bunch of aging rockers from the 60’s who haven’t figured out that rock music is a young man’s complaint against the adult world, and that there is something faintly ridiculous about 60-year-old men pretending it is still 1969.

The Who are now known as The Was….

When I was a young pup and asked my mother for something ridiculous, which was quite often, she would tell me, “...and people in hell want ice water too”.  I had the pleasure of calling my mother and informing her that she could no longer tell me that because people in hell now have ice water - the Saints won the Super Bowl!!  33 year season ticket holder here….it’s been a long time!!!

I’m a little late to this thread but this die-hard Redskins fans is so happy to be able to welcome the Saints to the SuperBowl winner’s club. The Saints have been an alternate team of mine for a long time. I’m always happy to see them win when my Skins are out of it, which has been alot lately

Anyway, a huge “Congratulations”, a couple days late, to the Saints and the whole Who Dat Nation. This is a SuperBowl win that a lot of people can feel good about.
