Super Colts!
Growing up a Hoosier fan in Southern Indiana, I naturally despised the Kentucky Wildcats. It’s just in your blood. So imagine what life was like when I lived in Danville, Kentucky – a mere 45 minutes from the home of the Wildcats. Life was not too pleasant for Hoosier-boy in those days.
I grew to despise blue and white. The color combination would make my skin crawl and my stomach queasy.
Then I moved to Indianapolis. What did I see all over the place? That’s right. Blue and White. Of course, this was a team I was cheering for. I actually wanted the blue and white to win.
My natural reaction, however, was to cringe whenever I saw a blue and white flag or a person wearing a blue and white t-shirt. The UK fans screwed me up that bad. It has taken me a while, but I am now over such aversion to blue and white. In fact, I can now finally actually wear Colts t-shirts without feeling like I’m somehow betraying one of my core beliefs.
Now that the Colts are going to the Super Bowl – that’s right…I said the SUPER FREAKIN’ BOWL!! – it’s time to get all decked out in blue and white…and that’s true for MattDanTodd Land, too.
Although I have class tomorrow, I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to sleep. It was a great game. I spent the last 3:00 of the game jumping up and down at every play. At one point, Christy thought I was going to fall through the floor! I’m even a little hoarse.
I’m sure I’ll have more to say later. I really need to get some shuteye. Class is going to come much sooner than I’d like to think.

The picture
I posted a picture of Aiden’s Colts helmet on this entry. I’m not sure if it’s actually visible, though. I’m trying to find something other than Flickr to use, because they won’t show more than 200 images without making me pay for the service. Didn’t realize that at the time.
I tried this picture through Yahoo! Photos. If it doesn’t show up, let me know and I’ll try to find another outlet.
Re: The picture
I’ve maybe only watched about 3 football games in my life, but last night was definitely EXCITING!! I liked watching people jump up and down on the couches. 🙂
Aiden’s helmet is not showing up for me..
Re: The picture
I switched to Photbucket.
Try it now.
