I was here when the Saints and Oilers flirted with coming here.  Remember the newspaper full page ad with Bud Adams with the lipstick kiss on his face next to a background of the old Gator Bowl.  Then he canceled the visit.  Colts Fever predated my arrival to the city by about 5 years but I remember people talking about it.  I bought my season tickets the day they went on sale (I remember having to dial back several times because the lines were busy).  Vic was right, we should have enjoyed those first 5 years a lot more than we did because it's never really been the same since.  Hopefully those days are due to come around again soon though, fingers crossed.
