This place is going to be humming tonight. If you have been listening to the radio, watching television or reading the newspapers lately, you would think that the Playoff Finals or the Superbowl was today. But nope…just game nine out of sixteen…New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts home, Lucas Oil Stadium. It’s a semi-important game because it’s an AFC matchup and it could possibly have playoff implications…but clearly though, the hype has permeated every source of media coverage here. It’s hard to stay out of the way of it. I also got a text message from a friend of mine a couple days ago who lives near the Boston area predicting a slim victory for the Patriots. My text response was “We’ll see”. (As you can see I’m efficient and not long winded when it comes to texting) Apparently the media out there is whipped into a frenzy over this game too. But, that’s their job, right? I’d be shocked if they weren’t. Another friend here told me that ticket resellers are paying over three times their face value for tickets to this game, to be sold again for even more. Wow.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Colts fan and have had this game mentally circled for a long time too…and of course nothing will get in my way of watching it come game time. Not even an offer on a two million dollar home would entice me away from watching. Well…maybe. I guess I could work on it a bit during halftime.
