Saints or Colts?

Points for consideration:
  • I lived in Indiana for two years.
  • Drew Brees was a crucial part of my winning team in the office fantasy football tournament (oh, how they hate when the girl who doesn't care at all wins).
  • My least favorite of the men I've dated was from the New Orleans area.
  • Blue and white are BYU colors, so I like.
  • Black and gold are Purdue colors, so I like (particularly because they use "old gold" rather than "that color that people call gold but is actually yellow").
  • I've always kind of wanted to live in New Orleans.
  • I don't want to be perceived as one of the masses who think the Saints somehow deserve the win because of Hurricane Katrina. (Onion story I loved from last season: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/bears_inspire_a_city_still_reeling).
  • Even when I lived in Indiana, "the city" was Chicago more than Indianapolis. I actually pretty much only think of that one time I went ice skating in Indianapolis when I think about the place and I'm not really that fond of ice skating.
Ehh...the fleur-de-lis prettier than the horseshoe so...Saints it is.

    "that color that people call gold but is actually yellow" Even worse is when they say that gold is that mustard-y color my old house in Ridgecrest used to be.

    And your method of picking a team is about the same as mine...hmm...pretty colors, etc. :)

    Wait! But Austin Collie plays for the Colts! Does that count for anything?

    I didn't realize until later on Super Bowl Sunday that Austin Collie plays for the Colts. It may have been a decision-swaying fact, but the decision had been made already and no amount of logic could stop it.
