Ashley - Who Dat

WHO D@T!

New Orleanians are who d@ts.

We bleed black and gold.

We play with integrity,

but we play to win.

On February 7, 2010 the Saints proved that NOLA is back;

After 43 years we have something to be proud of.

Every game night, whether Sunday, Monday, or Thursday,

our city comes together to cheer on our team.

Bless them boys for bringing pride back to our city,

for making our dome an icon.

Now we have something to be proud of,

something to cheer on.

GEAUX SAINTS!

Ashley, age 17
