Campus readies for 'Super' Sunday
Are you ready for some football? As the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears prepare to face off in Super Bowl XLI on Sunday in Miami, campus is buzzing with one question: Colts or Bears? "I think its it's split pretty evenly," junior Nick Farrell said. "I see a lot of Colts jerseys and a lot of Bears jerseys. A lot of people from Chicago go here at IU." Farrell, a Colts fan, said the fact there are so many Bears fans at IU, coupled with the campus being just an hour south of Indianapolis, has led to a bit of trash talk for the last two weeks. "Rex Grossman sucks, Peyton Manning sucks," Farrell said, describing the trash talk. "I don't see how you couldn't like Peyton, though." Freshman Tim Perez is also a Colts fan. He said that his residence hall, Teter Quad, is split pretty evenly between fans of both teams -- and it has resulted in some verbal sparring on his floor. "Colts fans always say how Peyton Manning is better," he said. "And Bears fans try to argue that they have a better defense." Incidents around campus involving fans of the two teams have been relatively mild according to sophomore Marc Momcilovich, a Bears fan. Momcilovich has had four-letter expletives yelled outside his door, "but besides that it's no big deal," he said. "We'll see on Sunday." Not everyone at IU is a fan of the Bears or Colts.
