BLACK GOLD

The SAINTS play the Chicago Bears today in a game that will decide who goes to the Superbowl. WAIT...did I read that right? The Saints are one game away from the Superbowl? Hmmmm...well I guess since HELL and HIGH WATER came...this is possible too. AMEN!

This town has been crazee partying all week since they beat the Eagles last weekend. Everything, everywhere is adorned with black and gold and Fleur-de-Lis. This is not something that this town is use to...so forgive our overkill on JOY! Our school district declared Friday to be BLACK-AND-GOLD day. Uniform requirements were suspended for the SAINTS spirit. And my school was fortunate enough to have a visit from oober fan "Holy Moses." Anyone from New Orleans KNOWS Holy Moses. Hes been dressing as the unofficial Saints mascot for 26 years. Hes NEVER given up FAITH in our boys. Its a good thing someone cared thru the "AINTS" days.

So for those of you not from New Orleans...let me set the scene for you.

ALL WEEK, no matter where you go...what corner you turn...who you're with...you will hear "WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY THEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS?" Enter Holy Moses to our school which is adorned in Black and Gold. He enters the building proudly singing, "WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY THEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS?" And of course a second line ensues. WOOTS!! All I can say is that SAINTS fans are like NO OTHER in the NFL. We come from a town that knows how to party, knows how to eat, and for the first time knows how to win.

Here's a tribute video to their season so far...and hopefully, after today, we can add to it!

BLESS YOU BOYS!!!!!!!!

DARK VICTORY

BLESS YOU BOYS!!!

The Saints played the Eagles tonight in their first ever Playoff game inside the Superdome. And they WON 27-24. It has truly been a Cinderella season thus far. As the season began, I commented on the emotional impact the team's return to our city has had on so many tired and frustrated (yet dedicated) citizens. The progression of their season has offered inspiration and hope to countless people. But more importantly, it has offered a reason to PLAY!

And to the rather PISS-POOR attempt of the LIZARD to rain on my blog and our parade...Im pretty sure I can read this Saint's lips. Yep, Yep. Its clear as day.

"TAKE DAT MUDDA-PUCKA!!!"
