On another note, what is the origin of that Who Dey thing? I get Who Dat for the Saints as that’s a Cajun thing.

Who Dat was a thing in lower sports levels in Louisiana going pretty far back. It's been a while since i've read up on it but they started doing it as "Who Dey" at Bengals games in 1981. For lack of a better term it just kind of happened then. I'd guess some people knew about it and started doing it at games and it just caught on.
The Saints didn't start doing it at their games until 1983.
So basically it was kind of a song lyric (i think) in Louisiana way back, then college and high schools started doing it there, then the Bengals did it, then the Saints did it.
