I'm an Indianapolis native (Evansville born) Hoosier that spends time in New York City and Indy throughout the year. I began rooting for the Colts in 1990, when my mother would watch the Monday Evening QB segment on the local news which featured then-Colts QB Jeff George. George had long hair, a beard, and often looked like he'd just rolled out of bed. Mom had a crush on him (God knows why). Because of this crush, we started watching football on Sunday. My father did not support the violence that football seemed to promote, but my brother and I watched football with Mom not because of Jeff George, but because the Colts were Indy's football team.
We suffered through the lean years; years that featured Jack Trudeau throwing 3 yard passes to Reggie Langhorne. Years of terrible defense and offense so inept and dull it would put us to sleep by the second quarter. We suffered through these years, but they helped us appreciate great play when it finally arrived in 1995 with QB Jim "Captain Comeback" Harbaugh and then later on with the drafting of Peyton Manning. I'm a true blue Indianapolis Colts fan, and we Hoosiers love our blue horses. Go Colts!
