I thought I was the only one that would prefer to watch at home as opposed to going to the dome. The dome is fun because of the vibe and excitement but you miss a lot as far as the game goes. Watching at home I can see the plays develop a lot better and keep track of who's who without having to spend my paycheck on one beer. Plus I cook better than the food at the dome. True story though, one time I actually got dome at the dome, but thats another story.

Funny you would say that Dude. Im not giving up my season tix ever, and I have games I dont know HOW Im going to do, since Im working till after midnight, then driving from Texas....

That said... it is funny how much you dont know when you're actually there, and you dont have a radio.... So, after I watch the game... then drive back to Texas. The next day, Im always excited to see the highlights.... Its usually the
first time I see what the game looked like from TV.

Im always surpised to find out something I didnt know happened on the sideline, etc, when we're driving back thru the River Parishes, listening to Bobby Hebert.

Then we'll eat something in Lafayette or Henderson, and there'll be somebody working at a restaurant, giving me a completely different angle. I love that.

Im hungry and I cant wait for the game.

realize that reciting every negative thing you can say will not make the team play better.

oh, you watch games with my Dad?

Ha!

Way back, late 80s (???), I was listening to the Saints playing Seattle. When we won, I shouted really loud "YES".
Goodness knows what the neighbours thought! I reckon they were envious............
