And no, it wasn't inspired by the beard of San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Brian Wilson, a former LSU standout.

"No," Galette said, "it's just a different look that I wanted to do. I had that clean, baby-face look all my life, so I was like hey I'm just going to let it grow."

The earliest Galette plans to take a razor to his furry face is sometime in February after Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Galette, who has emerged as one of the team's top pass-rushers, has vowed to keep the beard until the Saints win the Super Bowl.

"Win the Super Bowl, then I'll cut it off," said Galette, who signed as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2010, the season after the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV. "That's the plan. But until then, I'm going to keep it."

What if it takes three years for the Saints to win another Super Bowl?

It's not gonna take 3 years. Nuff said.

Danno

He said on WWL 30 minutes ago that he's keeping the beard but plans to trim it weekly, he's not gonna keep letting it grow until we win a SB.

You know what he's on to something. Instead of growing my beard out, I'm going to let my toenails grow out until we win the Superbowl.

Well, if the Saints don't win this year, maybe this will help.

terrible.

with some other teams, I would tell them eventually the guy will be tripping over his beard.

But since this is the Saints.......well

Hope he doesn't wind up looking like a black ZZ Top.

Hope we all be sending him some razors come February.....

OK... how many of you WhoDats want to follow suit in a show of support and, of course, your fanhood?

For a moment I had a vision of Rip Van Winkle. But like Danno said he is going to trim it weekly.
