  1. I'm going on Thursday and taking my son that we adopted 5 years ago.  He's almost 14 and we've been to two Colts games and Luck didn't play in either.  Luck is my son's favorite players and we are so excited to finally see Andrew Luck in person and now maybe he won't even practice Thursday if he does practice tomorrow.  Maybe they'll do an every other day thing?

     

    If he's not there on Thursday, then I'll have one very disappointed young man with me.  Maybe Andrew will at least be out on the field and sign autographs afterward...that would certainly help.

    Can anyone tell me the parking situation?  Do I need to bring some cash or is it free parking? 

    We'll be going on Thursday 8/1, coming from the western Chicago suburbs.  First training camp ever and I get to bring my 18 month old son.  Pretty excited about making a tradition out of it! 

     

    I'm taking my 13 year old on Thursday, too.  Our first TC and we're so excited!  I believe parking is free, but better to have some cash handy.

  3. I'm taking my son next Thursday (August 1).  Chose that day because it's NOT a theme day and practice is in the morning, when it's cooler.

     

    This will be our first time at Camp and we're getting very excited!!!

    Louisville should be better this year for sure. Petrino lost the team and they gave up last year.  I think Satterfield was a good hire and I expect him to get them back to being a good team very soon. Although I am still a little salty that Louisville flipped LB Dorian Jones from the Hoosiers on Signing Day.

     

    I believe they are using last year's failures as learning experiences and motivation for this season.  So far, I like what I've seen and heard from Satterfield.

     

    Chris Mack turned the basketball program around much faster than expected, so maybe Satterfield can do likewise.

  5. I think IU should go 6-6, maybe even get a little lucky and go 7-5.  I also like what Tom Allen is doing at IU and they are always fun to watch.

     

    As for my other team, University of Louisville, their athletic program has gone through some major housecleaning and they finally are rid of the 2 big snakes (Petino and Petrino), so I believe their football program will start trending upwards again.

     

    Not expecting a bowl bid this year, but improvement is expected over last year's fiasco.

  6. The only other legitimate option would be a Purdue game.  I've never been to a game there, but they seem to draw a lot of fans and support the team when I see them on TV or highlights.

     

    I've been to some Indiana University games and have enjoyed them, but there's always lots of empty seats.  However, Coach Allen has done a very good job making them respectable in the Big Ten and they are fun to watch.  They are starting to draw more fans to games and the stadium upgrade helps, too.

     

    If you can go to a Notre Dame game, then that's the one to choose.

  7. That's the best thing I've read in a long time.  Goes to show how one act of kindness can make a huge difference in someone's life.

     

    We get so tied up in petty things that we miss opportunities.  Kenny could have just as easily kept driving that day because he could have felt had more important things to do.

     

    These are the guys we need in our locker room and our community.

  8. So happy for Kenny and he's only going to get better!  When we met him recently in Louisville, I challenged him to have more interceptions that Ebron has TD catches this season.  Ebron was the other Colts player at the event.  Kenny smiled and chuckled, then said, "I'll see if I can make that happen!"

    Cherish these moments Sir, your son looks super stoked!!! 

     

    Oh, I do!  We adopted him 5 years ago and he knew nothing about football.  I quickly made sure he became a Colts fan!  He was here just 2 weeks and I took him to the Fan Fest in Louisville and we met Adam Vinatieri and Matt Overton...and Blue, of course!  He's been hooked ever since.

     

    He's 13 and was more stoked meeting the cheerleaders :)
