Trying to get a feel for how many fans there are outside vs. inside of Indy.

From Colorado. Actually never even been to Indiana. Is bittersweet in the fact that I got to see Peyton play on the Broncos here though after he left the Colts. Still wish I could go to games though.

I live in Aurora Colorado.  Just visited Indianapolis this past weekend for the first time.

I say it every time you talk about it, but I absolutely love Colorado. If I am ever able to move, Colorado is my #1 destination, followed by Tennessee. (I'm a mountain person at heart)

I hear you.  In the last 25 years I've lived in Albuquerque, Salt Lake, Portland, and Spokane.  Spent quite a bit of time in the mountains.  I love it out west.

I guess I'm the senior fan among this group. I've been a fan since they were in Baltimore, live in the DC area b/c my father was in the Military, Ups and down I've had to experience thru the years, the move to Indianapolis that I witness with the Mayflower in the midst of the night(lol), but the mystique of the horseshoe keeps me connected with the Colts. Now in California, still a fan.....

I live a couple hours south of Indy,  Have only been to 2 games since they moved out of the dome.

My friends and I would get tickets for at least 3 games a year starting in 97 until the dome was demolished.

Got to know a lot of other fans by tailgating on the Hurst bean lot.

Nice! I live in Colorado Springs. How was your trip and did you go to the Colts and Bucs game?

The trip was amazing! We’ve decided we’ll make it out here for at least one game a year!! Yeah, we saw the game against the Bucs, and it was fantastic!!

How was Elmo's?

 

Love the Denver area. I've only been in Aurora a time or two. Normally either stay near Mile High, or in Louisville. I'm having Red Rock withdrawal. I've been to some great concerts both at RR and Mile High. Went to Stanley after a trip to Shepler's last time out.

Born in Baltimore in 1954, moved to Indy area in 1980. Always a Colts fan as long as I can remember. I kinda remember the 58 Championship game only because it was our first game on tv. 9” black and white tv in a huge console.  But I was 4 yrs old, so I had no idea what I was watching….The Colts soon followed me to Indy, in 84.


 

As to Aurora Colo, for 6 yrs straight I delivered (I drive a truck) to Aurora, went to dinner with my Sister in Law and her Husband, who live there- then went over the Rockies to deliver to Salt Lake City- then back to Indy, once a week, each way.  So, as to loving mountains- try chaining up a semi, crossing Vail (and others) twice a week and driving thru snow-covered I70 or wind blown I80 every week!!!!  Beautiful country, but at times in the mountain roads- you question why you were ever born!

Elmo’s was a great experience, but honestly the steak was not seasoned enough for my tastes!  The shrimp cocktail was awesome, and the dessert soaked in alcohol was good.  Also, the lobster bisque was pretty good too!

Thankfully I don’t drive much in the mountains when it snows!!  It’s nice to visit the mountains other than that.

    • True, but the usual assumption is first round drafted player starts and plays many snaps however, teams look for players who can grow into higher ceiling than they're currently. For example, DE Chop Robinson is said to be raw but has all the traits to develop to be a quality edge rusher one day. I'd not be surprised if Ballard drafts him for the potential. Or similar players who would've higher ceiling in future than being an instant starter right now.    Another assumption people generally make is that the perceived holes need to be filled in and the team needs to be complete after the draft while Ballard may not draft for this year alone but with the aim to get the roster much better and near complete in a couple of years.    The way Ballard has not yielded to the pressure of competing and paying more to bring in expensive free agents, even after acquiring rookie QB, seems to indicate that he's not looking at this year alone.   Ballard may just stand pat and go BPA for any position as long as they've the player ranked higher, even if fans think another player available in position of need could play as immediate starter in this team. 
    • Welcome once again to Dr. T’s annual, official, Colts Draft Contest for 2024! Believe it or not, this is the 25th year we are doing this since the first contest was the Edgerrin James draft of 1999! With only seven choices this year, we needed to be creative again. So, contestants will be asked to select an A, B, and C choice for ALL rounds. Correctly choosing choice A merits 5 points, while correctly choosing choice B or C instead will merit 4 and 3 points respectively. If one of your "A" selections is chosen, but in a different round than you predicted, you get 2 points, if one of your "B" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 1 point, and if one of your "C" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 0.5 points. In addition, we will have a bonus question again this year and give everyone the opportunity to predict if the Colts will trade their #15 pick! The choices will be: trade up, trade back, stay put or you can also abstain from guessing. Like last year, if you predict correctly, you earn one point, but if you are incorrect, you will be DEDUCTED one point. If you don’t want to risk it, you can also abstain (no harm, no foul). For those that do not answer this question, the default is that this is a vote to abstain. If AND ONLY IF there is no clear winner at the end of the 7 rounds of the draft, the contest will be extended for ALL participants in which everyone will also be awarded one point for each collegiate free agent you predicted would be drafted by the Colts but was instead signed by the Colts after the draft.  Make your choices here by listing the round, choice A, B, or C for each round, with the name of the player, position and school AND your prediction on whether the Colts will trade the #15 pick this year. You may also write with each choice a little blurb explaining your rationale. Your 21 Colts selections and draft question this year are as follows:   Round 1 - #15 A, B, C Round 2 - #46 A, B, C Round 3 - #82 A, B, C Round 4 - #117 A, B, C Round 5 - #151 A, B, C Round 6 - #191 A, B, C Round 7 - #234 A, B, C   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  1) Yes, they will trade up. 2) Yes, they will trade back. 3) No, they will stay put. 4) I don’t want to risk losing a point and will abstain.   Please be a good sport and do not just copy other contestant's selections. You can easily do some research on your own, since plenty of free draft services are available on the web. You also can make changes to your selections, but this can only be done before the contest is closed on Thursday at 11:00 AM CST April 25, 2024, on the first day of the draft. Good luck and let the best GM win!
