Thank you to the late, great Hale Boggs. Without him, who knows whether we have our team.

Here's a nice article by Jeff Duncan for those interested:

I resemble those remarks!

(I was 12 at the time of their inception.)

I was born in 55. So pretty close.
My dad used to get those cheap end zone seats in Tulane stadium.
They were cheap cheap back then

It's officially past midnight.
The Saints are now 52!
Congratulations to the most successful franchise in the NFC South!

I wonder if they have to sit down to put their socks on and refer to the clothes of the 1980s as “the style back then” like I do

With our recent success in the Brees era, the Saints now have a winning record dating all the way back to the 3rd game of the 1980 season (that was our 1-15 season).

We had sideline seats but I recall my cousins getting in for $1.50 in those end zone seats

On this 52nd anniversary, I do highly recommend getting New Orleans Saints Greatest Moments wherever you can see it. You can buy or rent it on iTunes. It's really worth a watch.
