No undergraduate student on Indiana University’s campus was alive the last time the Hoosiers went to a bowl in consecutive seasons. Indiana remains the losingest program in college football history. So did Indiana coach Kevin Wilson lose his mind/slip a cog/have bubbles in his think tank when he boasted about the potential for his sixth IU team […]
A Super Bowl championship would surprise the experts, but not the Colts themselves. At least that’s the vibe the Colts communicated yesterday during their first media availability at Anderson University. The quotes flew from players about leadership, expectations, and their love of football. There were two major stories – Art Jones took responsibility for his […]
Indianapolis Colts training camp starts today, and thousands of fans jonesing for some football will make the short drive to Anderson to get an eyeful of what should inspire substantial hope for a bounce back 2016.

A lot has to go right for any team to win the Super Bowl, but for a 20-1 longshot like the Indianapolis Colts with some pieces of the puzzle withering and others yet to blossom, it will require great health, luck, and leadership.
