Just got back from the Superdome...go Redskins!
This was the first time I attended an NFL game since Joe Theismann was the Redskins quarterback. Although the scoring wasn't plentiful (especially in the second half), I still had a great time.

During the game I was thinking the Super Bowl has been held here a few times, of course Sugar Bowl is here, and the NCAA Final Four has been here several times.

Also during the game I couldn't help but think "just over a year ago there was some intense suffering here due to Katrina".

Overall it was an awesome and somber experience at the same time.

1. I haven't been to one since Rypien.
Glad to see they won for you! I've only been to 4 games, and they lost them all.

Ah, for the glory days of the 80's and early 90's.

:hi:

2. Rypien? Wow! That name sure brings back memories.
The ride back on the bus was very quiet; because I was the only Redskins fan! Silence saved my life! :)

3. Really, the Saints fans have nothing to be ashamed of.
They are playing really well, and should go pretty far in the playoffs.

I imagine I would be quiet if I was the only Redskins fan on a bus in another city..lol.

:D
