Thanks Andrew! Your advice is truly wisdom. The whole experience is still surreal for me, as I’m sure it is for many other Saints fans. I will indeed soak up every drop of this next week as you advise. I’ve also been putting off buying some Saints championship gear, so you’ve convinced me I should wait no longer.

I was rooting hard for the Cards last year because I always like the underdogs and our two teams have been the perennial underdogs for decades now. I hated to see the Steelers win.

Thanks for the wishes Andrew.
I’m in SW PHX, and I’m making chicken and andouille gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish etoufee, plus I have Pat O’Brien Hurricane mix for the drinks. I am having a king cake shipped for the game.
Let me know if you want to come – I was rooting for the Cards last yr!
Regarding #1 and 2: Very few here are in denial or not absorbing it all up.
#3: I was an Astros fan; I watched their only World Series appearance while cleaning up the flood water from my house. I was just glad to be there. Now, I realize that may have been their only chance in my lifetime. I am with ya 100% – this HAS to be the year!

1. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

I still remember the Broncos making it after the 77 season – what a thrill! But the loss was hard. Then three more losses with Elway. Those are not easy to take. But finally a couple wins – the difference is total.
I have a young friend who is a big Saints fan who said the other day “I don’t care if we win or not, I’m just happy to be going to the SB.” I wanted to tell him he’ll feel differently a week from now, but didn’t – I’ll give him a few days. So yes, enjoy the next nine days to the max, but please beat the Colts! I really want the Saints to win – have always liked the Saints.
Question: who is Archie Manning going to be rooting for? (I bet it’s the Saints)

Appreciated.

and thanks for beating the Eagles last year in the playoffs!!!

So when the Saints win, considering it…well, kinda like taking care of the unfinished business from last year.

I still smell blood in the water. Both teams match up well….I am just glad our D is as healthy as it has been since week 8 Charles Grant is not all to much missed after the hits McCray has been laying down lately.

Geaux Saints!!! Bless you Boys!!!

Since the Vikes game I’ve noticed a slight change in the mood here on CSC. Kind of a “We did it!” sway to the conversations. I like to think “We’re doing it!” and it ain’t over till the fat cheerleader sings!

SB44 = lights out, blitzkrieg, take no prisoners.

I won’t add too much to it but the part that really stood out for me was the “watching Rothlisberger throw the game winning TD to Sanonio Holmes over and over” part. Mainly because that’s what I seem to get fed alot. I get to see Dwight Clark grabbing a pass Montana was trying to throw out of the endzone. Over and over and over.
I was pulling hard for the Cards last year. Was a great game and I still have doubts about that last foot in the endzone but it’s all history now. So now I’m throwing my lot in with the Saints hoping for better. Andrew is absolutely right guys, don’t settle for just “making it”. Invoke the gods with all your might for the win. These things are precious and far between and must be taken full advantage of when they present themselves.

’Nuff said.

One has to think, do I want my team to win the Superbowl so I can be proud or is it that maybe just maybe the commentators will say all the things a guy wants to here.

Thanks dude, classy post. Being a founding member of the dallas cowboy hater orginaztion, I have pulled for the Cards many, many times. And have been a Kurt Warner fan from the day he stepped on the field for the Rams. Glad he finished his career with a classy organization like the Cards.

Seriously ought to think about going to Baggs5’s house for the Super Bowl, cajuns put on a good feed.

Razooed da Cards!!!!
Razooed da Vikes!!!!!
 GONNA RAZOOOOOO DA COLTS!!!!!!!

is a great man i wish him well

 Hard to miss the contrast between Warner and Farver, not to jump on the southern boy when his pants are on the ground. Have to admit, I’m glad to be here, but still hope for more. Throw it deep and let the chips fall where they may. God knows we’re due.

Just wanted to wish Saint fans best of luck, not that you really need it.
I’ve always had love for the Saints and I can’t wait to watch you guys tear it up!
Go Saints!

I thought this day would never get here. Now it’s here and will be over in hours, seems like a blur. But a lot of us have been enjoying every minute. Good luck with your Cards next year. Sorry Kurt retired. He is a class act. Who Dat !!
