In a nutshell.
Strange thing though--I cried right before the start of the Super Bowl thinking about departed loved ones who never got a chance to see their beloved Saints in the big game. I didn't actually cry the night of the Super Bowl--but I did cry when I watched the Sound FX Super Bowl 44 episode on NFL network. They put everything to music, and that just did it to me.
But that first Saints game in the dome after Katrina--I just couldn't stop crying for that one. That was just overwhelming.
I suspect the tears will also flow big time when they unveil that SB 44 banner at the season opener. I think one reason is because I have so many family members that are 30 plus year season ticket holders and we've all talked about how emotional that dome will be when the banner falls.
God I love talking about this.

Some days I still can't believe that we actually won.
I seriously cried for 10 minutes after the Vikes game. To even GET into the Superbowl was overwhelming to me.

The only time that you're a puss is when you let the wife or g/f make you stop watching the highlights.

Same here.The SB win was incredible.And I was Happy as I could be.But after that winning FG to beat the Vikequeens I was waaaay more emotional and tears were flowing just cuz we made it to the big game.That win still gets me to this day and probably will for a long time to come.

LOL....same here. Maybe it was just being in the Dome with all the other Saints fans where it all began, and maybe it was in part b/c I was killing three for ones from Cat's Meow right before the game, but I was literally hysterical after the kick went through. I knew I would cry a bit, but looking back, I'm somewhat embarrassed form my complete overreaction. I was bawling. Not like teary glossy eyed happiness. I mean flat out bawling like there was no tomorrow. The Super Bowl was the greatest moment in Saints history for obvious reasons, but to me, I don't think anything will ever top the feeling of being in the Louisiana Superdome with 70,000 others just like me feeling the same way I felt at that moment. There were no racial divides, no agendas, no grudges, no nothing. Just thousands of Saints fans crying, hugging, and dancing in the aisles all the way out to Bourbon St. I must have hugged every single person in my section. When it comes to sports, there's just nothing that compares to those great moments in the Superdome.

Yep...that was the first time I came back from Atlanta to New Orleans. When the crowd was standing outside on the entrance way between the Dome and the N.O. center and they dropped that banner with the players "Our Home, Our Team, Be a Saint"....I had a buddy from ATL with me and I just lost it. I was jumping on his back rubbing his head screaming "THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT BABY!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS MEANS RIGHT NOW!!!" Then the Green Day song, then introducing the team, the blocked punt....WOW! Great day.
FWIW, I've taken two people from Atlanta with me to a Saints game and both have come away saying we are the greatest fans in the world. They said they had never seen anything close to that kind of passion at a Falcons game or anywhere else.
Last year I brought a buddy to the New England game. He went just to see New Orleans...by mid-second quarter he was screaming "I'M A SAINTS FAN NOW! I'M ON THE BANDWAGON!! YA'LL ARE THE GREATEST FANS IN THE WORLD! I'VE NEVER SEEN A CROWD LIKE THIS!! YA'LL ARE WIDE OPEN THE WHOLE TIME!!" His favorite part was singing along with Halftime when we'd score. Then replaying it on a loop for about 2 hours in my car after the game.

Nope. I've already said if we never won another game, I could die satisified that I'd seen both LSU win a national championship (2) AND the Saints win a Super Bowl. For many, many years none of us thought we'd ever be able to say either. Now within 3 years of each other, we're able to say both!

Blocked punt vs ATL gets me the most.

Not at all. It means that, like some others have said, you're probably a true fan who's suffered through the hard times...
...It also means you're probably one of the random strangers w/ whom I shared a tearful hug after Hartley's kick went through the uprights that night in the dome. Or maybe later in the French Quarter.

My Dad who passed away in October of 2008 was a big Saints fan. As a tot, he put me on his shoulders in 1967 at Moisant when the Saints returned with their first victory. I remember walking with him up the ramp in Tulane Stadium, with the smells of cigars, popcorn, peanuts, cotton candy, whiskey and the sounds of "Jax beer man heay-ah", bleacher stomping, and deafening "Go Saints Go."
We saw some big games together over the years.
As Hartley lined up for 'the kick' against the Vikings, I heard my Dad's voice in my mind say 'we finally did it.' A split second later....bedlam. That was the loudest one play in Dome history. And I did more than tear up. My eyes were frickin red
And as I sat with friends at Cafe Giovanni's watching Peyton line up for that fateful 3rd and 5 play, I heard his voice again. It was two simple words - "get ready." It was just a fleeting, though puzzling hint through my head, until a second later. Then everyone in the room was in the air, their vocal chords bulging, screaming "oh my God," "holy sh--", and "did that just happen?"
Still disbelieving what had just transpired, my eyes turned red again, and hot. Free-flowing, hard swallowing, nose blowing. And lots of hugs, kisses, and tears.
And no, it STILL has not sunk in.
