Though the Saints lost, we had a fairly good time at the game, and would have walked out with the only disappointment being that we lost. But, we ended up losing a lot of respect for the Ravens fans. I never disliked the Ravens or their fans. In fact, most of the Ravens fans whom I know are real nice. After this game, I just have to say - stay classy Baltimore. You do realize you just won the freaking game, right??

Some pictures, thoughts and actual fan quotes from the game.

• I am not sure how it looked on TV, but trust me when I say it was real cold out here.
• It was about 10 degrees colder in the tunnel than in our seats. It was like standing in a cold wind tunnel waiting to buy hot dogs!
• Before the game even started, a Ravens fan approached my buddy and used the New Orleans welcome line, but added his own finishing touch to it - "Welcome to our city and stadium. Thank you for helping our city.......Now, go back home!"
• During the game, a guy behind us kept shouting this to me (Colston jersey) and my buddy (Brees jersey) - "Hey Brees, cover your head with a bag", "Hey Colston, cover your head with a bag".
• The lady behind us was a "woo-girl". A crazy one at that.
  
• I am not sure if you could hear this on TV, but after our 4th down incompletion, at least half the Ravens fans in our section started chanting WHO DAT. We just thought this was stupid!I
• Also after the 4th down incompletion, the lady behind us was real classy with the Ravens winning and yelled at us - "Pack your bags and GET OUTTA HERE!" "Go back to where you came from". All this while we were collecting our jackets and bags, and we never said one thing back to her.
• On our way out, the number of Ravens fans yelling "WHO DAT" at us, made me want to throw up!
• In the end, what really ticked us off was on our way back to the parking garage, some Ravens "dude" made a snowball out of whatever snow was left on the "Ravens walk" and threw it at a lady friend of ours, who had a Saints jacket on. We decided it was best not to get into a fight and walked away.

Receivers want to know who Drew is going to target today.

We were only about 3 Saints fans in the stands at this time and we gave Rita a shout out, and she waved at us. This just made my day!!

More tradition.

Drew chomping at the bit all by himself.

I was actually feeling good right before half time.

JShock and his protege!

Why did the football gods not punish the Ravens after their cheerleaders wore layers at half time? Why??

Sean giving a pep talk to the entire team and the coaches. At this time, I really thought we were going to pull it off.

No more pictures after this as I was not happy with the game or with the fans around me.
