A few years ago, a Saints fan sighting west of Lafayette would be a rarity. Funny how that works.

The last time I saw more than one Saints jersey in the same place at the same time (othher than the Superdome) was in '81 when Bum brought the Saints to the Dome. I imagine it will be like that again this year because of alll the 'new' Saints fans.

I've always liked the Saints and pulled for them when we didn't have the NFL for those five years - but having lived in Houston most of my life, I would never have considered sporting their gear or running smack about 'we' this or that, especially when I have no other affiliation with the team or the area. Went to several games over there just to get my fix.

Win and everyone's a die hard. Lose and you can't find them. Bandwagons happen.
