They had a big shindig last night at "The Luke?" aka Lucas Oil Stadium.
Flood waters

Stadium Flooding Won't Stop the Clock, Official Says
Stadium Flooding is being minimized, Joey says
Of course they
are downplaying it. I was told that better than 40% of the servers and all of the telephone system have to be replaced. They can get servers re-delivered in less than a week but I wonder if they had backups since they weren't in production yet ... hmmmm. Phone systems don't just get gutted and replaced in a "few weeks" as the article says.

At this point 71 private
schools in metro Indy have announced school closings for Monday Feb 5th, the day after the Super Bowl. A number of companies are providing Monday off as a paid holiday. My favorite is Monarch Beverages. This from InsideIndianaBusiness.com:
Indianapolis-based Monarch Beverage Company is giving its 630 employees the Monday after the Super Bowl off as a paid holiday. The company has operation centers in Indianapolis, Evansville and New Albany. The company made the move so that employees can savor the day after the Colts' potential victory. The company was receiving so many requests for time off the day after the Super Bowl that it would not have been able to accomodate even a fraction of the requests. Employees will also get a six-pack of Blue Moon beer and a Coors Light Super Bowl XLI T-shirt the Friday before the big game.
All Midwest Super Bowl - home of people that work for a living
The I-65 Bowl?
Most people outside
of Indiana don't make the connection that significantly (if not all) Colts fans are former Bears fans. The last time the Bears played in the Super Bowl this city went nuts with Bear fever. We were all McMahon, Ditka, Sweetness, and Singletary fans. Heck we even did that stupid super bowl shuffle thing at school during during pep rallies in the gym the week before the Super Bowl. We had contests to see which classrooms were decorated the most in support of our Bears.
You see, before
we 'stole' that team from Baltimore (fuck off!) everyone around here was a Bears fan. The Colts had just showed up in town the year before the Bears trampled the Pats. I was a hardcore Bears fan. In fact the Bears are the only team that I have ever been a fan of that has won its sport's top honor - ever. Oh sure there were a handful of Bungals fans around here but not many. This town and state didn't accept the Colts as their own until guys like Dickerson, Harbaugh, and Faulk made the game compelling to watch.
It just keeps getting
better to be a Colts fan. We ended the season of the poster child for hypocracy (aka Baltimore Browns) on their home turf. I shouldn't have to explain what a big deal it was to send the 90s NFL dynasty chowder heads back home. Apparently, alot of people understood that one since was the highest rated playoff game in 20 years. But now - us Colts fans get to witness the pummeling of our former favorite team on Sunday night. It will be great to wear my Super Bowl Champion Colts shirt on my next visit to Wrigley.
It is Bear hunting season
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Chicago Bears fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Bears fans, too. Not really knowing what a Bears fan was, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands flew into the air.
There is, however, one exception. Susie has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Bears fan," she reports.
"Then," asks the teacher, "what are you?" "I'm a Indianapolis Colts fan," boasts the little girl. The teacher asks Susie why she is a Colts fan. "Well, my Dad and Mom are Colts fans, so I'm a Colts fan, too" she responds.
"That's no reason," the teacher says. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot. What would you be then?"

Susie smiles and says, "Then I'd be a Chicago Bears fan."
