Who Dat?

Memory - and pride - runs deep 'round here. It's become a ritual to touch the toe of the big statue of Johnny Unitas before each game at Ravens stadium. When Payton and his teammates come to town the scoreboard reads simply "Indy" (never the "C" word) and the public address system announces "the professional football team from Indianapolis".


So you know we weren't going to be routing for any team with a horseshoe on their helmet in the Super Bowl. Not to mention that we actually like the Saints and the city of New Orleans, and Cearra and I pretty much always cheer for the underdog. We dug out some Mardi Gras beads and the foam fingers Bob and I got back in 2004 when we attended a Saints game during a visit to the Big Easy and got ready for the game.

Although the storm of the century put a damper on our party attendance we were thrilled to have some neighbors and good friends join us for chili and cheering. And we were all pretty darn happy with the final score.

Celebrate your hearts out New Orleans - you sure do deserve it.
