judging only on the strength of today's performance anyone would have to say that the colts would win. however, i'm hoping the saints take it. colts 23 saints 30

I hope the Saints smear Manning so much the guy forgets how to tie his shoes.

one of my friends was trying to get someone to take 2-1 odds that he'd miss it. i have to say that with all the missed field goals this post season i was tempted...

sounds about right. part of me was really pulling for Farve to get a championship but based on the games today they didn't stand a chance. the colts are firing on all cylinders and earned their trip.

Congrats Gard!

With that said, it should be a pretty good match up IMO. However, I'm taking the Colts over the Saints, 34-27.

Go COLTS!!!

slightly interesting: i believe that this is the first superbowl to pit a 1 seed versus another 1 seed since superbowl XXVIII in 1994 ('boys/bills).

GET OVER IT!

I've lived in Louisiana my whole life and have despised Texas the entire time.

It's the massive onslaught of bandwagon fans that fuel my negative feelings towards the Saints.

but as i understand it it's more that people have hopped on the saints "bandwagon" because of katrina and being the symbol of the city rather than because they all of a sudden can win games..

That's not the case at all, at least in my area.

It was amazing to see the bumper stickers on vehicles, Who Dat?! songs on the radio, and Facebooks statuses supporting the Saints immediately disappear after their first loss. Oh look, they're back now. I guess it's just too much to ask for loyalty.

Sure there are true fans and I'm happy for them, don't get me wrong.

you're going to get bandwagon fans anywhere, especially when you have a team that's perenially a loser suddenly become a contender (see: colts, indianapolis, patriots, new england, cardinals, arizona, rams, st. louis). that doesn't mean that you have to resent that team though. not everyone has the time/interest to be a diehard sports fan, and it's their perogative, can't blame the team for that.

Let It Fall · #18 01-24-2010, 11:31 PM

I don't care for football, maybe it was growing up in louisiana with a loosing team every year.

However I swear it seems the saints win by some kind of luck every game this year. Honestly I haven't watched every game but the last few they won were so close, or the other team actually played better, we just get lucky.

I hate the culture down here too, and the WHO DAT, is really annoying. BUT its pretty cool after the game just go in the back yard and yell WHO DAT and you will get a WHO DAT back from some random neighbor. My mom was in tears, she wished for this every year that I could remember.

If there are some bandwagoners, that's fine, let 'em enjoy the ride, I'm not letting THEM ruin MY experience. You should join me if you're really a fan.

Gard--congrats, man! I'm pulling for the Saints in the SB (OK, partly because I've got no love for the Colts or Manning

).

Not sure if you've seen this, but there is a Bourbon St. cam. http://www.earthcam.com/usa/louisian...bourbonstreet/

I'm well aware of that. I suppose I could rephrase my original statement to "I'm sick of hearing about the Saints", but it's a minor detail. No, it's not the team's fault and yes, it's a cool thing that they've finally made it to the Superbowl.

It's ironic that you mention Katrina causing some support for the Saints, when just 4 years ago Katrina hit and the Saints were forced elsewhere. No one wanted them back at the time.

I will admit, I felt a wave of guilty pleasure when 30 Rock made a reference to the Saints bandwagon.

I suppose this thread has been derailed enough. I feel like the Colts should pull this one out. The Saints seemed to weaken under the pressure of being an undefeated team. I can only imagine how the Super Bowl will make them feel. They consistently perform well from behind in the 4th quarter on the contrary, so it could go either way I guess.
