It's hard to believe that the Superdome went from this to this in just over a year. While many people disagree with pouring money into the Superdome when so many families are still without homes, and I can certainly see why they're angry, it helps to lend some normalcy to New Orleans. This will be a spectacle not to be missed. Since last year's home opener that was at Giants Stadium while they were playing the Giants, thanks Mr. Tagliabue, the Saints had a wish-we-could-forget-this-year season. The beleagured Saints are finally returning home with a 2-0 start to the season. Unfortunately, the Falcons aren't just going to roll over for the Saints to win at home. Sean Payton has made a number of personnel changes, and I will admit that I was a doubter at first, but to have the Saints come in with a swagger they have been lacking since about 2001, he has done a good job. I hope the emotion and outpouring of support motivates the Saints to send the Falcons home with a noticeable limp.
In other football news, what happened to Michigan State? They were well-poised to send the Irish home hurting from another butt-whooping, but managed to lose their significant lead. After the flag incident last year, as well as having Michigan pave the way with the loss in South Bend last week, State should have trounced Quinn and the Irish. Instead they let them come back and win at East Lansing. Who has bragging rights now?
