Terranova’s Prediction Out Soon

August 15, 2014 by Charlie London

Preseason is the time for serious study for Benny Terranova, 60, and his son, Anthony, 30, who both man the butcher counter at Terranova’s Supermarket, their 89-year-old family grocery in Faubourg St. John. Each year, they post their prediction for the Saints season on a tally board above their meat-cutting station, paired with the team’s actual record as the season unfolds. But first, they’ll gather intel from the preseason games, then compare notes and come up with a unified father-and-son pick.

The board was a creation of the late Anthony Terranova Sr., Benny’s father, who installed it in the store in 2002. The younger Anthony Terranova, his grandson, remembers that they hit the Saints record precisely the first two seasons. Since then, they’ve been close, and the prediction board has become a focal point of the small grocery store during football season.

“People come in all the time, or we’ll see people on the streetcar, and they ask, ‘When’s the prediction coming? When are you going to call it?’ ” Benny Terranova said. “But you have to wait to see what (the Saints) have. That’s what preseason is for.”

New Saints Theme?

September 6, 2013 by Charlie London

There’s been some discussion via the internet that it’s time for a new half-time song other than “crunk”. I humbly suggest the song in the link below.

Saints Fans Go To San Fran

January 18, 2012 by Charlie London

Photo and article by Warren Guidry

This was the highlight of our playoff trip to San Francisco, taken with my cell phone, from the hills across the Golden Gate Bridge looking back at the city. You can see a car traveling up the hills on the left to get to where we were and above that, in the water, is Alcatraz. Sailboats and cruisers dotted the water and airplane trails seem to sail across the sky, as a bonus in the landscape. It was an awesome moment. Time moved on. Wish we could have frozen Jimmy Graham’s awesome touchdown moment and called it a day.

Maybe Next Year . . . Go Saints!
