I totally remember that happening. I was in College at LSU, sitting on my girlfriend's couch watching it start against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I thought we were going to have a cake walk... well we got our butts kicked.

We still had high hopes through November, but we didn't win a game in December and missed the playoffs. I remember turning to my brother and saying "wow, I can't believe we didn't win one stinking game in December this year."

These memories are vivid in my mind because LSU was going through the Curley Hallman era and there was no hope of winning there at that time, so the Saints were the only winning franchise we knew at that time.
