You know much as I love The Twin Cities Ghostbusters, I really hope their team loses tomorrow. The Vikings have historically been undefeated against the Saints in the playoffs. 1987, the Saints have finally made it into the playoffs after a 12-3 season. The fans are swept up in Saints delirium. Along come the Vikings in the first round of play off games and crush the Saints 44-10. The first Saints milestone is reduced to rubble by the Minnesota Vikings.
Come 2001, after a disappointing season with Mike Ditka as head coach, first year head coach Jim Haslett leads the Saints in their first playoff victory ever. The Saints then travel to the Metrodome and are again crushed by the Vikings 34-16. Milestone number 2 again reduced to rubble by the Vikings. Jim Haslett complained about the unprecedented noise level in the stadium saying he thought it was exacerbated by speakers located behind the Saints sideline bench. No one could hear anything.
Well, this year the Saints will play the Vikings at the Super Dome. As far as the noise level goes, it's pay back time, bitches. If the Vikings defeat the Saints again this time, New Orleans may want to reconsider purple as a Mardi Gras theme color.
