Catching a pass from Archie-- thats priceless, St Thomas. Was Saints Training Camp in Lafayette? So Burger Chef sponsored a promotion where kids could catch a pass from Archie, but who is Jeff? Did you play for ULL?

Thanks for the stories SaintLB. Always good, and dont worry about lenghth-- I'm passing time. You can tell Archie is a really good guy, the way he treats kids and regular schmos like you and me. enjoyed those much. I hope you still have the certificate from Irvin Favre. Im sappy, but that "you're a winner all the way" thing makes one a bit teary.

The only time I got close to Archie was at the (I need help here--) ?Riverside Hilton? Was that it? There was a club in '88 called the Who Dat Fan Club, and I think Pete Fountain was president. You got all kinds of neat stuff, key chains, that little white card, discounts from Travel-New-Orleans, etc. Well we had a party at the hotel ballroom--before the Broncos game?? , I think. Anyway Benson was there, and shook hands with the crowd, the Saintsations did a dance number, and then, of course
The Man himself--- Archie showed up to speak for our pep rally. I stood a few feet away, and was dazzled to see him, and also happy to see how the crowd reacted to him.

Also I was wearing a silly hat, and Moses grabbed my arm, and we did some funny dance. Saintsation Lori Carrol signed something for me. (the brunette with the hair down to her backside) I was completely in love with her.

I'm pretty sure it was the Broncos game--- because I remember it was a great weekend all around.

Rugby Saint II

The team was sub par and the game was the worst loss I've seen. The fact that we were playing for HFA should have been motivational but even that didn't seem to put any fire under the Saints.
