Looking forward to reading the 1980 Eagles article.

Looking forward to Andy's, but was hoping he would go back, not forward

I enjoyed the Saints article, I knew they played at Tulane but didn't know much about the stadium itself. That was cool.

But the photo of Dick Vermeil being carried on his players' shoulders couldn't have been from the NFC Championship Game in January 1981, because, famously (and as noted in the story), the Eagles wore white jerseys in that game, forcing the Cowboys to wear their "unlucky" blue.
