@ Ruck-dude, like I just can't get over it (previous Jets game). $150 tickets, $30 parking, $70 meal, stuck in a major traffic jam downtown in a snowstorm...the best analogy I can think of is going to see Avatar 3D at the IMAX and being told they had run out of glasses and you had to sit there and watch it anyhow. I know I am being a stubborn, grouchy old bitch, but I am not about to jump on the bandwagon just because it is popular. It will be good for the city if they win it all, but I will derive NO personal satisfaction...I am trying to be more about good, hard fought games that come down to the wire rather than who wins...

You're an assclown, you don't know shit about football and well you should stop posting on this thread. [smiley=bath.gif]

It's hockey season anyways!  ;)

I think I can think of a better analogy but I find it inappropriate. :-X

I can't imagine what it was like, particularly because you went.  That sucks and I'd be angry beyond...but hey, the Jets have never even been put in that position.  Any team should be obligated to attempt to make history if that situation presents itself and more importantly, put out a viable product for the dedicated, paying fan.  

I'm driving overnight on Saturday and hoping to hit the tailgate by noon on Sunday.  I'm excited to see Lucas Oil Stadium!  I extend my open arms to Colts turncoats TEO and join us in rooting for the men in green. :-*

You're a Hawks fan eh?

Man has the Favre proven me wrong.  It makes me despise him and similarly respect him more >:(  I hope he slips on his own tears in his first 5 step drop and fumbles.

Ruckus comes to INDY! You ought to come for the 500 some time...we could put you up and I would go out there with you to scalp some tickets and see The Greatest Spectacle in Racing...

Not really a Hawks fan, more a Patrick "20 cent" Kane fan. I got the jersey because my roommate and I are in a fantasy hockey league, and he went pretty much all Russians, and I went with Americans. I'm in 1st! But really, the Wild and the Leafs are my NHL teams.

I think most Vikings fans are waiting for the "Favre" type game too. Under 200 yards and 4 picks. You know it's going to happen. I hope not, but you know it will...I think. I'm not confident at all. Why should I be? The Saints are #1 in the NFC for a reason.

Who Dat? Whenever I hear Who Dat, I think JT Money!

That sounds like loads of fun!  Cheers to your GREAT news :)

Saints -4 - I like the Saints
Colts +7.5 - I have to like the Jets straight up right?

Saints -3.5, Over 53
NYJ +8, under 39

I think the entire Vics/Saints game depends on Minny DL vs Saints OL...If Allen and Edwards are getting there, Vics win. If not, Saints win. If both QBs comparably pressured, Saints win

Why in god's name we let Faneca go and have been paying LT Max Starks $7 mill/yr for the last 2 years is beyond me.

Easily the dumbest thing the Steelers did this past decade

Once Prince came out with that song I knew it was over. Other then that one, no excuses here.

Every Viking game I saw this year the camera guy showed Prince. I thought it was odd, he seemed out of place and didn't really look like he was enjoying being there.

[Ruckus]

No excuses here either.  When the Colts scored at the end of the 1st half after a missed Feely kick I think, I knew it was over.  The Jets fans had owned the upper deck with their chanting but the momentum switch at the end of the 1st spelled doom.

Lucas Oil Stadium was gorgeous and as expected, the fans of the Indianopolis were too kind and friendly.  I wish I could say that Jets fans would treat traveling Colts fans similarly but that would just be plain false.

All in all it was a great time.  Man that place got loud.  I got great video of me hitting an Octobeerbong with 7 Colts fans.  Good stuff ;D

That's Prince being Prince. He looks odd anywhere he goes. The song he came up with is kinda similar to our hockey song. And since Prince is a huge hockey fan it wouldn't surprise me if it's based off of it.

You are a better man Walts.  We were outplayed.  You have a right to bitch  (a little right).  I finally saw the replay of your game tonight.  I had listened to it on the radio in the car leaving the other game and couldn't believe the extent to which the announcers made it point to mention that any Viking getting tackled "HELD" onto the ball.  It was getting annoying.

I haven't really paid any attention but did they figure out whose fault the 12 men in the huddle was?

David Garrard is a pro-bowler?!

I just heard there are 113 pro-bowlers this year because of the alternates  ;D

what a joke. id rather watch a passing competition between Elway, Marino, Esiason, Aikman, and Steve Young this weekend. actually, that would be pretty cool

Sounds to me like you got a little taste of HOOSIER HOSPITALITY... :)
