Who Loves the Patriots Most?

Super Bowl Sunday is a week away, a momentous annual sportsgasm for even the most casual of football fans.

Of course, it means so much more to dedicated New England Patriots fans, who live for seeing their team compete in the ultimate football mother of all match-ups.

And then, there's the Superfan. These are the dedicated few who pull out all the stops, going to the extreme to express their fandom. They paint their faces for game day. They decorate their homes, inside and out, year round, in Patriots regalia. They recite player stats by heart, relive incredible plays for years, and feel every impossible touchdown or missed field goal with the same guts and glory as the players themselves.

This week we would like to feature some of Nashua's biggest Pats fans. You don't have to be a Superfan (although we would embrace you, too).

Even better, we'd like to find those who are going to Indianapolis to witness the Super Bowl, first hand.

Botom line: We are looking for a few good Superfans.

Tell us your favorite Patriots fan story, share your Patriot Nation inner (or outer) sanctum photos – Super Bowl party recipes? We'll take them.

If we receive enough submissions, we will let our readers be the judge, and put together a lovely Patch prize package for our Readers Choice Superfan.

Bonus: Need to brush up on your Super Bowl history? Here's a comprehensive site, appropriately called www.superbowlhistory.net.
