Some of you may already know that I was raised in Southeast Colorado and growing up, we'd often call my hometown "hell". More to the point, the area was called 'Picketwire' because of Picketwire Canyon that was around the way from my hometown. It was called Picketwire because back in the day the cowboys would call it Picketwire instead of the spanish name it had - Purgatoir. Translated from Spanish means Purgatory.

Now, I don't know if you have been paying much attention to the news lately, but if you have, you'd know that the midwest has been getting hammered with snow. My home town has frozen over, which means Purgatory froze over. If purgatory froze over, then I am sure hell has froze over. Folks, the Saints are going to the Superbowl!

New England @ Indianapolis (6:30pm eastern) -

Either way, this is going to make an interesting match up for the Saints in the big game. New England has, in the recent past recruited many LSU players and now is often referred to as LSU North, and for many years, LSU fans have said that LSU was Louisiana's real professional sports team.

The Colts, on the otherhand, are being led by that 6'3 quarterback with a laser rocket arm, Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning is the son of the former great Saints quarterback, Archie Manning. Can Peyton Manning skip the Manning tradition of watching the Superbowl somewhere other than the sidelines? Me thinks not.
