Posted: Jan 15, 2010 5:30 AM by Jon Carrere
Only eleven New Orleans Saints players can step on the field to play.
But that doesn't stop some Saints fans from thinking they somehow have control over the game.
Your average fan of any team will sport their favorite player's jersey.
But some take it a step further, for these fans putting on a different shirt isn't good enough.
Gathering with friends, and toasting the boys in black and gold is a customary tradition.
But some saints fans earn the right to be part of the who dat nation with their game day traditions.
One fan says he has to rub his Drew Brees statue before putting on his gameday gear.
Some fans say its all in good fun, but the true diehards say they actually think their rituals affect the outcome of the game.
