Happy Lombardi Gras!

It has been a week since the Saints won the Superbowl and I am still excited about it. It is fun to see a team you have rooted for, for a long time win big! It feels like I can relax and continue to enjoy Saints games because the pressure is off them to finally win. Things will be different next year. For one, less games will be on at 12 noon right after Sunday Church. They’ll be more “primetime” and probably have late games if not Sunday or Monday Night Games. There is talk of a Thanksgiving Day game versus the Cowboys. That’d be weird and fun. I’m liking seeing all this Saints gear around town. I’ve never really felt like there was a lot of options to buy Saints stuff. Now, we should see an influx of quality merchandise.

I ordered my Superbowl Championship shirt and I’m waiting for it to come in. I’m very excited about wearing it. It’s the only real chance for a team that I root for to win. My Alma mater doesn’t qualify for a BCS championship nor did any of my high school teams qualify for a state or national championship. I like to watch LSU play, but I don’t really have a vested interest in them winning. I’m happy for the State when they win, but I root for LA Tech most of the time. So, I don’t own any LSU apparel nor do I really care to. I’m happy watching their games and rooting for them most of the time. It’s just all the more enjoyable to see the Saints take home a Superbowl trophy after so many years of mediocrity and worse. It’s neat to see your team and your state be recognized as #1 and not the other guys. So, even a week after all the festivities have died down, I’m still just as excited. I’ve rewatched the game twice this week to really take it in. I hope that they make a run for it next year, but this is a relief and a lot of fun. Who Dat?!
