It's Time, Once Again, to Root Against the Patriots

They are nicknamed: The Patriots.
It is our duty as Colts fans to root against them. Can you really see yourself saying: "I'm rooting for the Patriots. The Patriots are the feel-good story in Sports." I need a shower after saying that.
College teams shouldn't be the only "Patriots" we root against (Baptist Bible College, we are coming after you too). I did a search of Indiana High School Nicknames, and there are 9 schools in our great state of Indiana that share a nickname with that team in the Northeast. What a travesty. These schools really should consider changing their nicknames to something that is synomynous with good moral character, doing things the right way, and, of course, winning without the aid of video cameras and HGH.

All of these schools should change their nickname to...The Colts! Not one high school in Indiana has the nickname "Colts." I have found 9 candidates for this honor. Please step forward, and get yourself a new, better, nickname.
Anyway, back to Thursday night. You should all practice your "Let's Go Irish!" chants before the game. The big guy from Schererville, it's pronounced HAIR-ann-GO-dee. CW over at Rakes of Mallow has some good preview material, so you can start your hating of the Patriots sooner than 9:50 EDT Thursday night.
By the way, I'll be looking at everyone's bracket, and seeing who the "Patriot" fans are here. There is still time to change your bracket. Trevor Laws will be very disappointed in you if you don't.
Don't be a "Patriot" fan (but do consider going to school there. It's quite good.) Go Irish!

Anyway, back to Patriots hating. The fact that there are no Colts teams in Indiana high school football is sad. Here in Arlington, TX, where my wife currently has me holed up in, the main high school's mascot is the Colts, take a look see at this banner from their booster club web site:
Kind of gives you an idea of what it would be like if the Colts adopted a white-on-blue design for a throwback uniform. The irony is that underneath this school is a Junior High called Shackleford that is, you guessed it, the Patriots. The even have white helmets with the real deal Pats logo(Flying Elvis) on the side. Makes me barf. Let's get the ball rolling on an Indiana Colts high school mascot. Maybe we can petition the schools?
colt fans in arlington!

George Mason is different
If worse comes to worse, I just refer to them as the George Mason Fightin' Cinderellas, which probably isn't the best nickname to go with against Notre Dame.
I was planning on rooting against them
Also a Butler fan, and they are playing South Alabama who I believe are the Jaguars. So, I am being a loyal fan to my favorite NFL team and my 2 favorite colleges.
