Welcome to Black and Gold and welcome to Who Dat Nation! Here is a great reference site which contains detailed statistical information about the franchise since its first season.

New Orleans Saints

You can also just ask some of us that have been fans since day one of the franchise. I was nine when my dad was transferred to Barksdale AFB in northwestern Louisiana in the early summer of 1967. I was more of a baseball fan at the time, but did follow as much NFL as I could. I was overjoyed when I discovered that my new home state was getting its own NFL team. The rest is history. I live, breathe and bleed Saints football.

I was born in Rapid outside of Ellsworth AFB in 1957. I lived there until we moved down here.

Try this. It's pretty good. Covers the first twenty years of the franchise and Book 2 picks up from there.

As you know, during that time the dreaded ArkLaTx, was virtually 100% cowgirls country, so that explains my stunted development/growth as a Saints fan.

But I have been taking vitamins, supplements and Black & Gold Saints Fan Miracle Grow, and now I am big and strong!!

Must have been a amazing experience watching the side go from disaster to disaster and then the first playoffs and Dome Patrol to finally see major success in the last 8 years or so.

Thanks for the help and advice everyone and Guido I could happily sit and pick your brain over everything you must have seen over the years, I wouldn't want to overstep the mark and annoy anybody though.
I do have to say in the short time I've been a member in here I've never been made more welcome to any forum or group before. I can say with pride and if I'm allowed I'm a member of the Who Dat nation.
