WHO DAT!!!!!!!!

Sorry it took a month for me to finally find the time to post again, but I felt that under such circumstances as these, I had to find the time. Here I am, just waking up after an extremely eventful night spent on the streets of Bourbon, New Orleans. Some friends and I arrived at Tulane campus late Saturday night to kick off this incredible journey. After some quick Superbowl "pregamage," we then departed Sunday around 3PM to make our way to Bourbon St. (which was a complete madhouse by the time we reached it). Despite the hushed whispers from naysayers that the Colts might win due to their untouchable defense, the Saints came through. And they just didn't win, they undeniably smashed the Colts. I think the Saints' victory, while owing itself to the skill of the Saints offense, along with Sean Payton's coaching ability, mainly owes itself to the spirit of the Saints fans throughout the South. The chaos ensuing immediately after the Saints' victory was a sight which could not be explained with words; yet it was good chaos - people hugging each other, everyone dancing, some even crying. It was something that brought the city of New Orleans together; a phenomenon that was not only earned, but highly needed. Just goes to show the power of spirit. While "statistically" the Colts had the upper hand, the Saints were hungry for victory. And they earned it - WHO DAT
