I was originally "AlohaSaint" because I discovered this wonderful site that Mark allows us to be on (too much Mark?) when I was stationed at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii in '98 (yeah, I'm old school).
I enlisted in 1988. I traveled the world and met so many people. They had their favorite teams but no one understood what being a Saints fan was all about. They always asked me how I could support a franchise as miserable as ours. I tried to explain but they don't get it. GOD BLESS THE INTERNET! I found Black and Gold and I was immediately (in my mind) home! Here was a way to talk to and listen to SAINTS FANS! Y'all knew what was in my heart! My wife would find me at the computer in the morning, having never slept and shake her head and ask WTF? I can't count the number of times that I left for a full day at the beach on zero sleep! We have discussed the Ditka and Hazlett years. Aaron Brooks, Tebucky Jones, etc. Billy Cunningham vs BlackandBlue! We lost JoeSam............. I got transferred to Colorado. Hence, the change to RockyMountainSaint. I retired and came home. I couldn't stand the idea of changing my handle again, so I am still RMS, even though I live in Bucktown. Halo, thank you so much for what you do. I don't think you understand what you mean to folks who don't live here and rely on this site to keep in touch with our boys. Who Dat! |

I actually joined here in 2000...but it was dead...lol..sorry Mark...a few old dudes arguing ...My original handle was LRAYBLU...i never posted as I'm ashamed to say i was a member of S.R...i joined that ****hole in 99...i got banned and ended up coming back here..and it was slow then..but after awhile it took off...
Now its hands down the best Saints site around... We are all very lucky to have this place to keep up...we always deliver the goods here... And have the character to make it fun... Kudos Halo! |

I changed my header there to "thread killer" because when I would post a comment, nobody else posted another one.
This site has been great. I am not the smartest fan and I don't know everything about football but I love the sport. At least when you post something here, somebody will entertain a conversation with you. Thanks Halo!! |

I don't hate it there but it can get pretty hostile at times so I wound up coming back here. Now I hang at both sites for different reasons. It's definitely friendlier and more fun here.
My handle is a long story but it involves a business trip Tucson, a search for a bar showing the Saints game and a gullible stripper. |

I've been a fan since '77.....But I became a fanatic about 10 years ago. I found the internet about 5 years ago(yeah, I'm old school) and started reading every Saints site I could find. I knew everything about rugby and having never played football I began studying football(specifically Saints football). When I finally decided that I had something that might be worth saying I joined the B&G and I made some great friends here.
Anyway, I am Rugby Saint II because I love Rugby and the Saints. The II is because I'm an identical twin. Who Dat! |
