Saints fans are funny creatures. They are superstitious about everything from the way they watch the games to the clothes they wear while watching. Hardcore fans are just getting over the heart problems they endured while watching the Saints make history and earn a sport in the Super Bowl and now it’s time for all of those palpitations, dizzy spells and screaming fits once again.
Talking with long-time fans often reveals a side of them no one knew existed. Take for example Jonette Gray and Staci Floyd. The two have been best friends for too long to mention and, in 1991, they attended a Saints game in New Orleans. While on Bourbon Street, the duo spotted “Who Dat?” champagne and decided to get a couple of bottles. They vowed to open them when the Saints went to the Super Bowl. Fast forward 19 years and the bottles are ready to be opened this Sunday.
Floyd and Gray look like normal adults. But, that changes when the Saints play.
“I don’t like to socialize while the game is on,” said Gray. “I’m there to watch the game and would rather just be at home on my couch than with people on game days. I can get pretty intense.”
Floyd does usually watch with a group, but has a spot that nobody else better even try to sit in.
“They know not to mess with me or my spot when the game is on,” said Floyd.
