Once the Saints won we all just poured out into the streets music fireworks 2nd lines than we took it to Canel St and more 2nd lines music WHODAT being yelled all even on type of the music. My mom bless her soul she cried we all cried (she 2nd lined in her wheel chair but didn't do Canel)

One couple - most likely in their late 80's were working their way through the mosh pit that was Bourbon St. Just as it looked like their 5 foot 80lb frames would give in to the pressure of the crowd, I reached out a hand to help and they both smiled, gave me a hand shake and said "We are fine son - we've been waiting 40 years for this!!!"

I've never been happier to be a part of something.

Made gumbo, and sat at home with the wife and kids. My eight year old girl sat through the whole game with her Drew Brees jersey on. When the Colt's 4th down play failed, I screamed at my wife "Thats it, the game is over! The Saints won the Superbowl! The Saints Won!!!! My wife sat there and looked at me like I was crazy. She did not realize the Colts turned the ball over on downs with 44 seconds left. My little girl started jumping up and down on the couch screaming. I ran out of the house and fired off 10 morter shells and a 15 foot roll of firecrackers. Came in and popped open a bottle of Champaign I have been saving for 17 years (not Who Dat champaign), and watched post game and ESPN until about 1:30.

It is still hard to believe...No more "Wait until next year". This is "Next Year."

I spent the afternoon in the Quarter, soaking up the atmosphere. Then I watched the game in the Royal Sonesta on Bourbon with some friends. I brought my MP3 player so I could listen to Jim Henderson call the game on WWL. When Porter picked off that ball, everyone knew it was over. The screaming and hugging began, and I went out to Bourbon to jump in the mosh pit and feel the love.

I'm glad I'm not a germiphobe, because I hugged, kissed, and high-fived hundreds and hundreds of people. Halfway down Bourbon the crowd was thicker than I have ever seen it. I'm 6'2" and 240 pounds and staying on my feet was a challenge, holding my ground was impossible. You could tell everyone was a local because no one was freaking out about the crush, most everyone in the crush was grinning ear to ear and enjoying the ride.

There was an odor in the air, all the way down Bourbon Street. Cigar smoke. Victory cigars were lit everywhere. Usually you can smell liquor and beer and sweat and the street itself and all those nasty things that are on it, you can smell lucky dogs and pizza, but that night you could literally smell victory in the air.

While I was in the middle of that sea of black and gold, a thought hit me. I realized, I was living out a song. I WAS in that number. I was in that number when the Saints went marching in. A chill went down my spine just thinking about it. For the rest of the night I wandered, I drank, I hugged, I kissed, and I danced. Oh, how I danced. I spent the rest of the night with a million of my closest friends, knowing that we could win every other Super Bowl for the next 20 years, but nothing would ever generate the level of joy and togetherness I was experiencing on that night.

I was in that number...

We went to my mom's house in Houston. Dad flew in from Libya to watch the game with his boys. There was all kinds of food but supper was seafood gumbo. After the game was over and we were done crying and hugging each other, we went through 3 bottles of champagne and alot of shots of jager.

Here are a few pictures from our Super Bowl party. It was a blasty blast!


Barkeep decorated for us. They're big Denver fans, but they had black & gold balloons all over the place. It was great!


Gator bites, jambalaya, alligator etouffee, gumbo, red beans and rice


I'm third from the left, in the Brees jersey


I kid you not, this is what it looked like after the Saints won the Super Bowl. My brother (pictured) looked outside and said, "Becky! Hell has frozen over!!"

Private superbowl party at my friend Tony's house. I met him for the first time, at the grill, watching the Detroit game week one. Needless to say, we have made a life long pact, to stay in touch, and watch as many games together as possible.

We drank two bottles of patrone, drank about three cases of beer, had some victory cigars, and then went out to a pool hall, where we smashed all comers, in partner's pool! It was an awesome night, that I will remember for the rest of my life.
