'Cut me and I bleed Black and Gold
my heart is shaped like a Fleur-de-Lys
those memories fo Superbowl 44
Will always be with me'

That got a little Ray Bradburyish there. Had to read it a couple of times to make sure you weren't saying you were watching the game when you got married.

But all kidding aside, thank you for choosing Black and Gold for all your (American

) football needs. Fans like you make me feel good. Anyone can obtain fanaticism through immersion like I did, but it takes a true fan to reach it the way you did.

WHO DAT!

Gup, you know that you talk funny, right? (I was raised on a ranch in Texas, if that helps you envision my speech pattern...) So you watchted the Super Bowl in New Orleans? Did I understand that? crazy story, man, either way.

Welcome aboard. You're gonna like it here, unless you're into drama. B&G gave me exactly what I was looking for, but didnt get from my old board. Way to represent WhoDat Nation in the Ark-La-Tex. These are YOUR Saints, Brother.

.

I most certainly did. When that ball sailed through the uprights in The Vikings game, my Wife squeezed my hand and said through the tears and laughter 'We have got to go!' So we looked down the back of the sofa, raided the piggy banks and it was sorted. Although my passport only had 5 months left so I had to rush it through. Watched it in Broussards on Conti Street just around the corner from Bourbon. My wife said it was the best time of her life and when I said 'What about our Wedding Day?' She said 'Oh yes, that too'. Women, eh?

...or maybe Ray Baronne. He recorded the SB over his wedding tape.
