Saints History

You can also just ask some of us that have been fans since day one of the franchise. I was nine when my dad was transferred to Barksdale AFB in northwestern Louisiana in the early summer of 1967. I was more of a baseball fan at the time, but did follow as much NFL as I could. I was overjoyed when I discovered that my new home state was getting its own NFL team. The rest is history. I live, breathe and bleed Saints football.

I was born in Rapid outside of Ellsworth AFB in 1957. I lived there until we moved down here.

As you know, during that time the dreaded ArkLaTx, was virtually 100% cowgirls country, so that explains my stunted development/growth as a Saints fan.

But I have been taking vitamins, supplements and Black & Gold Saints Fan Miracle Grow, and now I am big and strong!!

Must have been a amazing experience watching the side go from disaster to disaster and then the first playoffs and Dome Patrol to finally see major success in the last 8 years or so.
