GO COLTS!!! http://neverpictureperfect.com/2007/02/are-you-ready-for-some-football-go-colts/ http://neverpictureperfect.com/2007/02/are-you-ready-for-some-football-go-colts/#comments Sun, 04 Feb 2007 20:51:36 +0000 Brian Groce http://blog.briangroce.com/2007/02/are-you-ready-for-some-football-go-colts/ The Super Bowl is normally a time that I get together with friends to watch the Super Bowl* (especially the new commercials) and eat some chili and wings.  But with our very own Indianapolis Colts finally making it to the Big Game it has such a different feeling to it this year.  When the Pacers went to the Finals in 2000, the town didn’t seem so pumped up about it (maybe we’re not as big into basketball as most people think…at least not on the professional level).  But this past few weeks the town has just been amped.

Everywhere you go there are flags, banners, Colts gear, etc. and everyone you see says “Go Colts!” to you in passing as if it were your usual Christmas greeting.  And Christmas is probably the best way to describe the feeling around town.  There’s just something in the air that you can’t quite explain, and beyond the occasional football Scrooge everyone seems to be into even if they’re not normally into football.

So this is a quite exciting time for those of us in the Circle City and hopefully our offense and defense will show up tonight and shine like we have all seen during the regular season.  My only worry is that almost everyone I’ve heard from in the national media gives the game to the Colts by a touchdown or two.  While my gut has to agree with their assessment, the up front “no contest” expectations aren’t always a good thing.  But I’m sure that our Colts are up for the challenge.

Now I must get ready for the evening festivities.  Go Colts and Go Horse!!!

* And yes, for the No Fun League knuckleheads, on a larger than 55″ screen and with more than one television.  And yes, I will be discussing the game afterwards as well…what in the world is the “for private use of our audience” warning all about?  And hopefully no Bengals or Chargers will be arrested before, during or after the game.

  • NFL’s lawyers sack church’s game plan
    You have got to be kidding me! First the NFL Network nonsense this year and now this. Using their trademark “Super Bowl” in promotional materials, fine, don’t allow that but I can’t even imagine the number of churches in violation of their “55 inches or smaller” policy regardless of what they call their get together. The NFL needs to get their heads out of their rears and start worrying about what “extracurricular activities” their players are up to.
