Saints Hatred?

CantonLegend · 01-29-2010, 05:16 AM

its not so much the city hatred that we are getting that i dont like

mostly because i dont live in New Orleans......its the "i told you so" hate

everybody always wants to tell me that they knew the saints sucked.....that they knew the saints were terrible

when we lost to the cowboys.....it was "see i told you so"....."i told you they couldnt win and arent any good"

completely forgetting about the 10 straight weeks of domination that had preceded that

in the playoffs we torture the cardinals for 4 qtrs and get a few fans back.....then we play in one of the best championship games of all time and are back to the original fans from the beginning of the season because of either how dirty we play, how terrible our defense is, or how awful our offense played

despite winning......we are still losers....until we win

i tell my kids every season.....it doesnt matter how many games you win....its which games you win

you can win all 10 games in the regular season and still lose in the first round of the playoffs

or.....you could go 5-5 and still win the state championship.....

its our time.....there isnt any sort of higher entity that is guiding this team if there ever was this season.....there isnt some sort of fate or destiny that this team has to fulfill.....

this team is just better than the colts....in nearly every way

God Bless you, Mississippi brothers and sisters. You have a lot to do with the Saints staying in New Orleans. Your training camp was off the charts. If I owned the Saints, there would be a Mississippi Appreciation day, complete with parade, meet & greet with players, and your own preseason game.

That is actually a great idea.

Go a step further.

Gulf Coast Appreciation Week!

They Can't Keep Who Dat Down?

I appreciate that Mike, I really do. I know this much, when it comes to Southern people in general, say what you want, but when the chips are down, no matter how we feel about each other, we will fight against any and all comers, that wanna try. I guess it's a matter of pride in alot of ways, but also a matter of family, and the values we grew up with.

My Saints family is here, and I know who they are. We got each others backs, and that's what matters most on this. So, to the Saints first superbowl, I salute you all. Let's bring this home now.

We will pull together, sometimes it takes a little time and coaxing.

On that note, I will pass along this little tidbit of info that some of you younger guys may not have known.

Archie Manning, when he was between the ages of around 18 and 22, was public enemy numero uno in Louisiana. He and his Rebels put blemishes on a couple of LSU promising seasons, if I'm remembering this right...and was not so welcome by all Saint fans in those first few years. I think there are some who still haven't totally forgotten.

I will never forget the headline of the TP Sunday morning after Ole Miss burned the Tigers his Jr. year. It read,

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Superman...and he wears #18 for the Ole Miss Rebels".

Suffice it to say that the Tigers did get their revenge on Archie his Sr. year when they beat Archie and the Rebs soundly, somewhere around fitty. Archie had a cast on his whole left arm, but not making excuses.

I also like that idea. I'm going to go one step further. An appreciation tour through the whole state...New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Alexandria, Shreveport and Monroe. It would reward the whole state for 43 years of patience and loyalty. What a great day it would be to see the Superbowl 44 champion New Orleans Saints parading through downtown Shreveport. It would surely pi** off a bunch of Cowboy fans up here! LOL

I couldn't help comment here...this is completely true. In 1974, I believe it was, I played for MGCJC and we went 5-5 in the regular season...but we were 4-1 in the South division, so that was good enough to win the South. We ended up winning the state championship that year by beating Itawamba in the state championship game and finishing 6-5 for the year.

I think part of the problem is us...the fans of the Saints. We are not use to this, have not ever been here before, and don't realize that all teams go through this to some degree. There are always happy winners and sore losers...always.

Good points. Well except for the '72 Dolphins.

I talked to a Patriots fan (an old friend) yesterday and he says that Boston is all Black and Gold. So I would guess the AFC cities love us and the NFC cities have jealous hatred.
