HOU DATS (Houston Area Fans) Whats Up?????
 

Hey Yats, I'll be starting the new Official Houston Saints Fans Thread soon.

Hanging out, BS'ing, eating & getting heartburn, drinking mass quantities, yelling at the tv, and bad dancing are all serious business, and must be done with proper reverence, and good preparation.

I've let you rest long enough. As you know Saints fandom is a year-round thing. Lockout, schmockout, let us celebrate. and soon.

Looking forward to hearing from new folks. If you're new to B&G, our group has people from NOLA, BR, Acadiana, NWLA, MS, TX, anywhere you find Saints Fans. Last year we gained some quality people who just showed up on this board, and said, "What the Hell? Yeah, I'll go eat mudbugs with these people."

So If you're living anywhere near H-town, and you love the Saints, you belong with us. We're already getting special treatment from a local restaurant & bar.

So,
#1, Where ya at?
#2, Whatcha been up to?
#3, Would you mind if a bunch of drunks come over to your house and eat your food? (if yes, dont worry, somebody else will volunteer.)
#4, Can you bring beer?
#5 Do you have any cool Saints stuff to show us?

I'm thinking we need to have a Saints video party, and memorabilia show. I could be talked into providing music, maybe even lighting, and
can help out with the grub.

btw, we're all anywhere from 30-40-50...(old enough to have sense), and one of us is about 90, I think??

Been busy with work, the bro's wedding was better then expected, last song was halftime. Didn't touch our's though, thanks mike. We need to get together before the draft and for some Astros games if they aren't done by the end of may. Thanks for showing us around New Orleans, we had fun. I'll hug Tiff for ya

HOU DAT

Spring is coming... Camping Trip?

definitely in the mood for some baseball. We kinda didnt have anything left for baseball last year, since football season lasted till February!!!!! ha!

I hope everyone is feeding the crawfish about now! Although oyster season has been nice & tasty. Who's hungry???

Hey Mike,

Just working my tail off and wondering if there's going to NFL football this fall. Maybe get together for the draft?

Hey Mike, just checking in on the new thread. We're anxiously waiting for crawfish season to really get going. It's starting to get warmer, so that's always a good sign! In another month or so, we'll need to start talking about another boil! Had a great time last year.

ps if Budsdrinker is reading this thread.....please check your PMs.

HY

Hey Mike! Been Busy with some work projects and shuffling Kids around to weekend activities. Also having some football withdrawls that i'm going to start watching games I have on DVD from the Superbowl year.

Can't wait for some quality crawfish!!

Mudbugs II coming to a Yat's house near you! will do.
I'm gonna be so bummed if
there is a delay--- this is Houston's year for the Saints/Texans preseason game-- which means a big HOU-DAT tailgate party at Reliant. keeping fingers crossed. Draft Party is On, and check back here often.

I think we need to head over to Ragin Cajun one night & catch up over oysters.
I just got thru watching our superbowl video before work. check back here, Lynwood, and we'll see about having some oysters one night. Can you and the pretty lady get away on weeknights?

I'm old enough to have LOST all my sense by now.....cents too. HA!

Let me know when and where.

Mudbugs II .. dang it ... during spring break maybe .... kinda of a busy hombre right now.. we need some T-Shirts for this ... could be a fundraiser...

T-shirts, Smash..... ah yes.... t-shirts would definitely legitimize us.

#1, Where ya at? Still in Spring, TX
#2, Whatcha been up to? MOSTLY spending time at hospital, daughter is down here living with us now, fighting Lymphoma. Transplant in a couple of months.
#3, Would you mind if a bunch of drunks come over to your house and eat your food? (if yes, dont worry, somebody else will volunteer.) LOL, we aren't here enough to allow that, but the dogs might enjoy the company, Baloo especially likes Beer, we can't keep him away from it!
#4, Can you bring beer? Maybe, and some good Rum
#5 Do you have any cool Saints stuff to show us? I have my Saints Hi-Top Converses... but most of you have seen them.

Prayers for your daughter, C. I have a sis. fighting ovarian.

Those Hi-tops never get old. And yes, loved the Rum... thats good stuff. keep in touch, and I'll get something together very soon. Got a couple more I want to hear from in the next couple days, then we're gonna eat some oysters or something. Im starving.

Say hi to Pat.

It would be Tricky. Wednesdays is the only day that the kids don't have an after school function. Depending on start time we might be able to work someting out on another night. Man when they say Kids change your life, they aints kidding.

Yes they do. But ours are growing, and will someday be hitting the streets! woo! We're gonna have the house to ourselves, the only music will be our music, the tv will be ours, and we're gonna be nekkid.

You might want to knock.

Soon as I get over this hangover, I'll plot more.

You gonna get a nekkid room like Bradshaw? :mrgreen:

I'll be in NOLA for spring break; Sunshine has a conference to attend.

guess who's coming to Lunch????
 

Just saw Hou-Yat today,
and we're about to plot Hou-Dats MudBug Party II.

no sense on getting shy on us. Also, I want to raise some hell for the Draft. dont worry about no CBA--- its going to happen.

In fact here are the next things that are going to happen:

- The CBA will get done.
- crawfish are going to be boiled and eaten.
- my pants will get tighter, and more of my brain cells are going to be
pickled.
- The Draft will happen.
- We will continue to age.
- Kids will do something stupid and costly.
- My truck will continue to run, despite its appearance.
- FOOTBALL SEASON will come.

And other than that, nothing special happened today, except that I had lunch with Tommy Myers!!!!

He was very cool, and told exactly the kind of stories I was hoping to hear.
