Born in LA. Dad went to LSU and my mom is from AL. Mom's parents were big Bama fans while my Dad's parents didn't care about football. When we visited her parents at Christmas and Thanksgiving, football was on. When we visited Dad's parents, football wasn't discussed.

As far as the Saints go, I've always routed for em even when they sucked year in and year out. Dome Patrol baby

Dad took me to my first NFL game at the Dome when I was ten or so. Loved em ever since.

I also spent several days there before and after the hurricanes. I slept in the Dome and parking garage. Seen the best and worst at that building.

Got season tickets at both.

And 2009 was phenomenal.

I was born in Buffalo and moved to Sildell when I was 5. I've been a WHO DAT ever since. No matter how bad they were, I've always bleed Black and Gold!
I grew up an LSU fan and I wasn't a Bama fan until I went there in 93. It was so great in 2009 to finally see both teams take it all in the same year!
Your "Dome Patrol, Baby! made me smile, as I used to have the poster on my wall growing up. That bitch Katrina took it from me as well as all my memoriblia from my days at Bama.

The Tornado in T-Town really makes me remember the Katrina woes again.
