N/S Blast from the past.....Super Bowl 9, NOLA, 1975 (1 Viewer)

I found this gem on youtube. I didn't realize that the Steeler's dynasty started in Tulane Stadium.
The game was supposed to be played in the Superdome but it wasn't ready in time.
It's kind of cool to see New Orleans back in the day.
Y'all enjoy.

Nice find. Didn't realize they had to move it due to Super Dome not being ready.

What’s interesting about the Steelers, that i didnt realize until fairly recently- is how similar to the Saints they were prior to this Super Bowl win in Tulane Stadium... They had, if i recall correctly, about 40 years of mostly losing, being the laughing stock of the NFL.. they were a small market team like the Saints, and even wore the same colors (black & gold).. then they got the right coach, had a couple of all-time great drafts, and became a dynasty.. When the Saints won their first SB 10 years ago, i thought history might repeat itself and we’d have a dynasty too.. but no such luck.. which is fine, i’m still thrilled we finally won one.

When I was a kid, Pittsburgh was indeed a laughing stock. There were only 10 teams: Giants, Eagles, Colts in Baltimore, Cardinals in Chicago and then St. Louis, Steelers, Redskins, Bears, Packers, Rams in L. A, and 49ers. The Pennsylvania teams were awful.

We probably noticed John Gilliam playing for the Vikings in that game.

That's right, they were the Saints before the Saints.
