I am officially tired of 'Who Dat'

The phrase “who dat” has been around since the 1800’s, and first seen in print in an african american minstrel show in the 1890’s (“Who Dat Say Chicken In Dey House”, or something like that). So, you are correct that it is a misuse of the English language, however your critcism is a bit shortsighted and juvenile. I doubt if I ever visited Indianapolis there woulod be any way to distinguish it from any other vanilla city. But then again, why would anyone voluntarily visit Indy (other than race fans- who aren’t the most intellectual bunch) QUIT WHINING ALREADY

I just love how you take shots at our motto and cultural sayings and then bring up something about Fema checks not being used to get to the game. You win and lose with class huh? Is that a backhanded comment about our situation of getting government aid for the biggest tragedy in American history? My apologies if I took that the wrong way. I know one thing, we Saint fans are probably the friendliest and most knowledgeable football fans anywhere. If you ever visited our area you would know what kind of hospitality we offer to fans of other teams. We embrace our friends and foes alike. We have been losing with class for decades and now we are reaping the benefits of a great season that we so richly deserve. And yes there are plenty of bandwagon jumpers that have jumped on board. Just like it happens for every other winning team in any sport. The difference is we are not a bland, boring fan base that has to look to the inefficiencies of other fan bases to vent from a loss in the Super Bowl, or any loss for that matter. We have something very different here in LA that you will never understand, no matter how well traveled you are. And if the Colts had anything of interest to offer the American public, it may have been a different turnout at the game for you. Just look at the multitude of great Superbowl songs that have been created by brilliant musicians from our area. All I heard were colt fans ripping songs that they didn’t like. Get your own songs and most importantly your own identity and you may experience what we have. You did try to get across that you were not slamming the cultural reference of Who Dat, but you specifically started your post with a negative comment on the blatant misuse of the English language. I guess that wasn’t a shot at “Who Dat”? I can respect that you are tired of hearing it, but I’m sick and tired of hearing how great Peyton Manning is. According to the overwhelming majority of the media, we had no shot because Indy has Manning. Once all that pouring on started, I knew it was over for Colts fans. It’s the whole team that has to have a common purpose and goal to succeed. We had more purpose than the Colts.. We as Saints fans had the entire country on our side. After years of ineptitude, we were just due for the breaks and bounces to go our way. It was our destiny. One thing is for sure, we are America’s team. Not the Cowboys. The numbers of so called bandwagon jumpers who attended the game and from the large number of adopted fans from around the country bear this fact out. You see we embrace these folks. They know it and we know it. There is room for anyone who wants to jump on board. Qui Ca? well traveled man!

I got u.Today i started hearing from the same dumb national media that it was reggie wayne’s fault for what happened, so I was looking for info on who colt fans were blaming for what happened. ie Peyton, the coaches or Wayne. I was just curious on what the fans thought. I would have done the same thing if we would have lost, on the Saints site. I’m with you on the banter back and forth, I just hope you don’t mind some banter from an opposing viewpoint. When I post it’s also total comedy or at least I find it fun to go back and forth as a test of mental fortitude. LOL. Get it? It keeps our minds sharp. It’s a good place to say things you would never say in person, so some of us cross the line sometimes. So please no punching in the mouth… I ‘m a lover not a fighter. I never said Superbowl shuffle was any good either. In fact I like to place a wager or two and most of the time when one team is hyped as much as the Colts were, I’m a contrarian and go the other way. That’s what I meant by those idiot media types. I just felt good about all the hype for Peyton, but it got nauseous after hearing weeks of it. The main difference in ur win and our win is you were playing Rex we were playing Peyton. Good luck and just know I didn’t come looking for trouble. But our team is our heart and soul, so interpreting it as a put down made me post. Take a look, it was my first and only post, so point taken on being here on a Colt site. I didn’t plan on posting anything. So again good luck, maybe we will have a rematch and Peyton can again subconsciously not allow himself to beat his first love the Saints. Scott

Our players don’t act like gang thugs, our coaches don’t brag about trying to kill other team’s QB’s after the whistle, and our fans for the most part don’’t act like stupid idiots. I can’t say the same for the Saints. It’s sad that the NFL and it’s refs did everything possible to help them win. Don’t expect the same thing next year Saints fans, if you do you will be very let down.

I recently wrote that maybe if football fans had a little more to be excited about concerning your team, more folks would have showed up at the game and you also would have had more of a national following. Maybe even balancing the fan support during the game. I’m hearing whining from some, that the Saints had an advantage with all the support from around the country. My question is who’s fault is that? Surely not ours. I totally agree that it may have played a role. If you you don’t believe that an enormous collective enthusiasm for the Saints did not at least give them a small advantage in the outcome of that game, you are kidding yourself. With the main factors being the Saints out coaching the Colts boring vanilla game plan, Drew Brees outplaying his counterpart, and players making crucial plays when needed. But then it was reported that only 11 Colts fans showed up for the teams return to Indy from the Super Bowl! What’s the reason for the non support from Colts fans? 11 fans? The Who Dat Nation responded with 800,000 fans for the Super Bowl Champions return to the city that adores them. And we would have been there even if the outcome of the game were different. To put it in perspective, we had our own 11 Who Dat fans crowded in my Suv , stuck in 11 Miles of New Orleans bumper to bumper traffic trying to get to the celebration to watch 11 Mardi Gras floats filled with players and Executives celebrate our dismantling of the so called favorite( ie Tony Dungee). We then partied for 11 hours and had the time of our lives. Again 11 fans? So when I hear some of you saying that we have bandwagon jumpers, like that is a bad thing, and your whole fan base produces that minuscule amount of support for your team, I think some of you need to check into what a fair weather fan is. How many of you here were there to support your beloved Colts on their return? Colts fans will never experience or understand the love we have for our team. The only reason I bring all this up is because some of you posters are venting about the game by insulting our fans, players, and city. You got beat deal with it. So all I’m asking is don’t try to discredit or berate how we show our support or enthusiasm for the Saints, because it sounds absolutely bitter on your part. By the way where the hell has Karim the Dream been hiding? Maybe he was one of the 11 celebrating the Colts season and hasn’t made it back yet. We are waiting for you at CSC to finish the thread that you started. I know for a fact that not all Stampede Blue posters are like Karim and share his views, so if this is not how you feel, I’m not speaking to you. To all respectable Colt fans, I wish you luck and we all know you will be back. But in my opinion we are a young team that will only get better. Remember, in most peoples eyes, we should not have even been in the game to begin with. So improvements are inevitable.
