Reggie Bush! Reggie Bush! Reggie Bush! Drew Brees!
Reggie Bush gave the Saints the lead aginst on a sizzling 42-yard touchdown catch-and-run midway through the fourth quarter.Bush took a short swing pass from Drew Brees and raced through the right side of the Bucs' defense for the go-ahead touchdown with 7:53 to play.
The score put the Saints on top 24-20.
It was great theater. Even Saints coach Sean Payton couldn't contain himself while watching the replay, thrusting his fists in the air ......
Expectations are as high as they've ever been in New Orleans, with new additions Jeremy Shockey, Jonathan Vilma and Sedrick Ellis joining old favorites such as Drew Brees, Marques Colston and Deuce McAllister. The Saints are opening their season at home for the first time in four years, and they are playing perhaps the most important opponent on the schedule, the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It's hard to imagine anything could have intensified today's game, but Gustav did just that, forcing the city to evacuate last weekend before mercifully avoiding the type of devastating blow Hurricane Katrina dealt this region three years ago.
Now, with the populace returning home, this game will serve as New Orleans' loudest sigh of relief -- a "post-hurricane party in the Dome, now that everyone's back together," according to Saints owner/executive Rita Benson LeBlanc.
"I think being back in the Dome, I think it could be electric," said Saints linebacker Scott Fujita,[/q]Tickets still available!
by Mike Triplett, The Times-Picayune September 05, 2008 11:08AMINDIANAPOLIS -- The Superdome will be operating Sunday afternoon as if it's any other game day or at least that's the goal, according to Doug Thornton, the regional vice president of SMG, the company that manages the Superdome.
Thornton said fans won't notice any difference in the traffic or the parking or inside the stadium, with the only possible exception being some specialty food items like carving stations and po-boys and pastas that require a little extra prep time.
"Our goal is to have absolutely no change in the way this operation is run on game day," Thornton said. "We're going to be in great shape. And we're going to play a football game. That's the main thing."

The New Orleans Saints , as a professional team of NFL, is one of the major teams that have fans all around the world. It’s quite normal if New Orleans Saints are so pricy because such worth any price. It doesn’t matter if we pay a respected amount of money for Saints tickets because we satisfy our eagerness to watch good games and more than that, when we get New Orleans Saints ticket , It’s because we love this team. Thus, New Orleans Saints tickets prices will never be a problem for a real fan of the team.
