  1. 100GFB will soon be leaving the forum.  It’s been great but it’s time to leave the building.  It’s nothing on anyone just time to start a new chapter or even a new book!  Yikes I hate to read!  This forum has been great as I can’t go to the bar down the street and talk Colts football.  I don’t live in Indiana nor any of the neighboring states so this provided me with news - good or bad it was news on my team.  I enjoyed reading the friendly and sometimes outrageous banter but it was Colts news.  I’ll always be a Colts/Indiana fan.  As a Colts fan let’s just say my fan base goes back to The Horse, Johnny U, Big Daddy and Mutz.  My favorite toy as a youngster was an Indy 500 replica.  Lol!  It was metal and heavy.  SW1/Ruston you could say it was heavy metal.  I may be back but it’s time to leave the building.

      We have loved having you here.  How many years has it been?

      Well Nadine I’ve been with the old site and I was in the Colts Fan Club.  I have a T-shirt that say “member Colts fan club charter member”.  Yes it’s been a looooog time.

  2. 808’ers message me.

  3. A salute out to all the Vets!

  4. Any 808/HNL Colts fans out there. Send me a message

  5. As a kid I was such a sports fan that I’d wake up early on race day and listen to the Indy 500 on the radio!

      I always wonder how descriptive announcers got on the radio about car crashes. You know, since the fan isn't there live in person how vividly do they document the broken fiber glass, the tire that catapults off the vehicle, & the safety of the driver. 

       

      I miss the mystique of radio that TV & the internet shattered after they arrived on the scene. It's not as easy to chronicle ambiance as some people think with just your speech, words, & tone.

      Yup and they created the atmosphere.  Just listening to the Indy 500 you could smell the fuel and burning rubber!

  6. Both ND and Navy showed class at the end of the game!  Kudos to the school, coaches and team!

  7. Bummers!  My boss lady, the queen of the house said it’s time for me to downsize.  No no not dieting but my Colts apparel.  I admit I have couple shirts that still have the sales tag and some I haven’t worn in years!  Bummers got to decide.  At least I get to keep my memorabilia.

  8. Cinco de Mayo!  Tamale pie is done and now chilling with my Corona!

  9. Darn, losing makes the long trip back home even longer!

      I'm glad you returned home safely DD & yes, INDY loses do indeed blow. Hang in there my man.

  10. Dinner’s ready.

      What's on the menu Dilly Dilly? Aside from Bud Light given your new call sign I mean. 

       

      Do you need any taste testers? Notice I didn't say additional cooks. haha

  11. Finally bought a leather helmet for my collection!

      Southwest1.  It's not an authentic but it is a leather helmet!... Leather is not thick so by saying your head is as thick as leather is questionable!  Now people have asked about me being a leather head and what part of the animal was used for my head?  Now that is insulting!  Well at least there's a reason my head is up my a**!

      And here I thought you were wearing it all along like me!! :)

      Southwest1/Brent - I should get Adam V to autograph the helmet!  No offense to him but the ageless wonder is doing great!  Yeah he's also doing great!  Lol!... Brent haven't seen you around since Fred and Wilma got married!  

  12. Finally made it home!  A delay and a flight cancellation but I made it home.

  13. Game on TV!  Got to get up bright and early!  Go Colts!

  14. Got the reservations down for the Bills game and now working on the Titans game.

      Oh, since DillyDilly will be present in the stands tomorrow, it's a lock now. INDY's got this. Like a lucky rabbit's foot on steroids, I'll take it. That's my story & I'm sticking to it.

       

      Have fun my man!

  15. Had a great deal today.  Went on base for Valentines Day Luncheon Buffet.  Me and the boss lady.  Prime rib and chicken marsala and yes I ate my share of the cost.  In fact I ate my share and wife’s share of the cost!

  16. Happy New Year to everyone!

      Just promise me that 2017 will be a less devastating yr for losing iconic musicians & boxers my man. 

       

      In all seriousness, I sincerely hope that a new yr brings good fortune your way 100GFB & all my forum friends actually. 

  18. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

      Same to you GFB. Never lose your skewed sense of humor buddy! Actually, you're humor perfectly fine. I'm the 1 that probably needs to be institutionalized. LOL! 

  19. HC?  Draft prospects?  Are theses significant issues in ones life?  Try getting a breaking news text, “Incoming missle attack, take cover this is not a drill.”

      Holy moly man! That seriously happened? Whoa...Glad to hear that you & your loved are alright GFB. 

       

      That announcement would be so unnerving to hear. Like air raid drills in London under Churchill. 

    3. alawai

      alawai

      Yes it did and it took over 1/2 hour to get an official “false alarm” notification!

    4. southwest1

      southwest1

      Next thing you know somebody will knock on your door & ask you if you wanna buy an underground bomb shelter again. Deja Va Cuban Missile Crisis reboot. Only kidding! 

       

      In all seriousness, that had to be a very frightening experience even with a false alarm. Like you have got to be joking right? 

       

      Here's hoping that never happens again. Why does bad stuff always happen to people I like instead of colossal jerks anyway? Just once can't we reverse that trend? LOL! 

  20. Home!  After two weeks I finally have my own pillow to drool on!  Long but but good trip/vacation.  The "Big House" in Michigan, Ford Factory, Rock &Roll HOF, Ft.Ball HOF, Rogue Gym, OSU and last but not least Colts opening game at the Lucas!

    1. southwest1

      southwest1

      They'd have to kick me out of the Rock n Roll HOF 100GFB. The security guard would be like "Hey SW1, I've gotta lock up & turn out the lights man. Maybe you need to see if a Summer internship is available dude." 

    2. alawai

      alawai

      Both R/R and Ft Ball HOF were great!!  If you have the opportunity to visit take it!

      I'm glad you had a good time GFB minus the raindrops that is. 

       

      Yeah, I never travel anywhere near Ohio, but perhaps someday an altered itinerary on purpose is mandated in my case. Good advice. 

  21. I arrived on Friday-rain; Saturday-cold and wind; Sunday-cold; Monday-little warmer but cold; Tuesday-little cool but much better; today Wednesday-rain!  Indy does not like me!

      Lol!  No it's me as every game/year that I attended there was bad weather!  I do games no later than early November so this is the latest I've been here.  Anyway I've had cold, wind, flurries, rain and that horrendous Artic freeze with a wind chill of negative 5!

      On thursday it was 75 and I was hanging xmas lights wearing flip flops

      it is always cold when you are here but it's not too bad today

    4. alawai

      alawai

      Not bad today but lite rain and I don't want to be caught in it.  Although it's lite don't want to take any chances so stayed in 

  22. I can’t get the kid/sports nut out off me!  Yup up bright and early to watch the Indy 500 on TV.  Thought I’d out grow the getting up early thing but now it beats listening to the 500 on my transitor radio - LOL!  Even better I’m able to watch it in color instead of black/white

      I already watch Monaco this morning

    2. alawai

      I thought about the Monaco but that would’ve been very early wake up call for me!  Lol!  I need all the beauty nap/rest 

    3. PrincetonTiger

      PrincetonTiger

      All I had to do was adjust when I got ready

       

         

  23. I got a minor medical procedure tomorrow got to wear Colts apparel for my good luck

      Hope all went well with your procedure. Stay safe!

  24. I remember running to the bathroom when the commercials came on but now I watch the commercials and use the bathroom during the game.

  25. I was gonna give my homies priority of little freebies I got from the Colts game but guess my homies from 808 aren't interested!

    1. shecolt

      shecolt

      I don't know what 808 means, but that was really kind of you to offer to share.

    2. southwest1

      southwest1

      I googled 808 as an area code & Hawaii popped up on screen. That's what I figured GFB meant shecolt.

       

      I assumed my brother from another mother has close from the Aloha State. I'd love to be chilling there right now as opposed to freezing my ice cubes off in WI. LOL! 

       

      We are supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow over the weekend BTW. Son of a... 

    3. alawai

      alawai

      Yup 6-8 inches of snow is not a good weather forecast!
