Football is by far my favorite sport. My family has had season tickets to Colts' games since 1992 when the team was just awful. So I grew up going to games and becoming a very devoted fan. When I got to college, I went to a football school when the program was actually good. Purdue was even ranked 5th in the nation at one point during my sophomore year and college game day actually came to campus. To say the least I've always been around football. It seems that everywhere I turn I've had football to look forward too.

This year I feel like the season has come up on me really quick. there's a few reasons for this most likely. I'm not going back to school, so I'm not worried about getting the season tickets. Also, I'm not reading the Indianapolis Star every morning like I do when I'm in Indianapolis. Therefore, I'm not hearing the daily talking heads and sports columnist that focus on the Colts. These are pretty big reasons, but I don't think its the biggest. I'm also a big Cubs fan and they're in a race for the division and could win the World Series. Typically I've given up on the season by July and start wanting football.

In September I've got a big weekend planned that I'm sure will push me into full football mode. I've got a Saturday game at Purdue. We're playing some team that I'm sure we'll beat since its early in the season and that's the way college football is. Sunday I get to go to the season opener for the Colts as they're taking on the Bears. Not only that, but they're going to opening a new stadium that day. To say I can't wait might be an understatement.
