First memory of being a saints fan

what is your first memory of being a saints fan?

my grandfather always had two tickets even when they were at tulane stadium. i remember him giving 1/2 the season tickets to my dad to take me to games. i can remember going to games at about 5 years old. my dad would always let me buy a penant for the opposing teams so i could remember what teams i got to watch. one time when i was about 7 a lady came to my seat and gave me a jacket and said they pulled my seat # in a raffle. the jacket is an XL and still doesnt fit me but its still a pretty cool item.

anyone have any cool stories?

Everyone around us rooting for Joe Montana (I was 8 or 9) one night....and remembering how much I hated everyone rooting for them just because they were winning..and fell in love with underdogs as a whole, then we stank it up one year and its grown into a SERIOUS obsession ......For some stupid reason, the heartbreak over the years has made me even stronger and more of a diehard???????

I guess it would be whenever I found out that they were gonna give NO a franchise...but I don't really remember where I was or anything like that. I remember how cool it was gonna be to have Jim Taylor...but I wasn't too crazy about Cuozzo.
