Heading Home

New Orleans, 2:30 p.m. -- Well, David and I are heading home now from our great adventure. Last night after the game was like Mardi Gras Day in N.O. People poured onto the streets from the Superdome, screaming "who dat", dancing on cars, hugging and slapping high fives. Driving was virtually impossible, but no one really seemed to care.

A copy of today's Times Picayune is like gold. We're hearing stories of people going into stores this morning buying 5, 10, even 30 copies at a time.

Our flight is delayed due to bad weather in Newark, but like the people stuck in gridlock last night after the game . . . I just don't care.

I got lots of great pictures and will be posting them when I get back and have a chance to recover.

Get your earplugs

Superdome, 6:25 p.m. -- It is unbelievably loud in here. The place is rocking. So far, has not helped the defense.

It's Great to Be Back in the Dome

Superdome, 5:15 p.m. --Ah, the familiar sights and sounds of the Superdome. The stadium announcer is the same guy from back in the 70s and 80s when we were going to Tulane games. A very distinctive voice. Sometimes I catch that voice when watching a game on TV and get nostalgic. Great to be hearing it in person again.
