I almost cost us the game!

SmashMouth · 11-09-2009, 08:14 AM

I wore a different Saints shirt at the beginning of the game ... then I realized ... OH Sh....T ..... my wife quickly ran and got the BnG one ... I put it on right quick .... the momentum started to change and all was in order.

Breesus Christ... that was a close one!

I've been wearing mines every week too.

It must have been a team effort, then...because I realized I still had my dress socks on (looks funny to me when you are wearing gym shorts) and looked like my dad, so I took them off immediately.

Yep, I thought it was me also during the first half. First I got a haircut which I haven't had since preseason then I was BBQing and didn't have my opposite color jersey on and wasn't sitting in my recliner with a Bud. Put on my white jersey and dropped my big a$$ in the recliner Bud in hand for the second half and everything turned to roses. Thank God

It may have been me. I was out of town trying to get back from NM in time for the game but my 2 year old had other plans. I got back at the start of the 3rd quarter. Just in time to catch the second half online. I have seen every game this year at a bar in LBC.

Happened 3 weeks in a row?

I'm embarassed to say this, but I'm wearing the same shirt every week...and it hasn't been washed yet, either. The first five weeks I wore it just for the game and immediately hung it back up, but finally dumped it in the hamper after the Giants game. It was in the bottom of the hamper the last few weeks (Miami, Falcons, Panthers), and when I dug it out in its stinky, wrinkled glory and put it on, we would win. So now, I'm hanging it outside to air out each week, since I don't dare wash it and destroy the mojo. I know that if I can finally make it to Woodrow's for a game (drat these late games!!), and wear the stinky shirt, my fellow HouDats will not mind...

So you plan on being alone for the Superbowl?

Sounds like it was a great team effort. I had just bought a beer for $8.50, and was standing in line for nachos when the Saints scored their 1st TD yesterday. To that point, I hadn't yet had a beer since the start of the game.
We just need to all make sure we're doing our part... wear the right shirt, make sure you have beer, etc.
I was a little nervous about wearing a brand new jersey that I hadn't worn before, but I think my lack of beer was the real harmful factor in the first half.

I have had my Colston Jersey every week un-washed unti this week. I had a bet with one of my counterparts in Atl(Falcons Fan). He had to wear my 12 jersey around the office while I was in Atl this past Wed and Thur. He found out why I hadnt washed it.......and thought it would be funny to wash it. He sent me a pic Wed night of the Jersey in his washing machine. I was pissed at him for the 1st 3 qtrs yesterday....lol
But at least I smelled a lot better!
