COLTS vs Bengals pre season tickets.

I can't understand how it's legal for them to force you to buy tickets for two games if you want to see one. I'm guessing you had to pay regular season prices for that preseason game, too? That's a nice racket.

The Colts don't want the Pack fans to take over the crowd. We have an RV going with GM workers who transfered to Fort Wayne from Janesville 25 years or so back, plus other Pack fans, there will be Green and Gold there!! We are going to be LOUD!! after we get up quick, maybe before..Heck YA!!! A good PACK fan base here. You always see a lot of Green Flags on Sunday in the country in Indiana. And yes we have to deal with the Bear Fans...and watch what we say. they are the Rudest fans. Colts are nice Hoosiers fans..Close to Pack fans as far as being good sports..... Never been to Philly. I have been to a Jets game. Way different. My sons job on my bucket list is going to Lambeau and Ireland to golf......Hopefully this year. Can't wait LETS GIT It ON!!!!!!!COLTS!!!!!

So, how many tickets do you need for the Colts/Bengals game? How many did you have to buy when you bought tix to the Colts/Packers game?

Hauser!!!...The ALL PRO!!!...I have read you often!!!....21.6 k posts. An honor to met you........When buying the Pack game on Ticketmaster...it was a package deal. You bought full fare PACK and FULL FARE game 4 pre-season..Bangles.... Did Tampa do this also years back..when the PACK came to town??? It was the one of the most popular games of course on the Colts schedule in Indiana...At least for me it was... A rebuilding year for them for sure. Thats was the deal "PACKAGE" a game ticket from STUB HUB for just the PACK game bout same price as the package......so I am giving my tickets to the Harnish family...Chandler's brother a linebacker... is now a funeral director and took care of my mums arrangements last fall....Nice family
went to church together..with the aunts and uncles and Fam.. Lived bout a mile away.. It will probably an easy ticket to get. But was going to provide tickets to the family if ran across any..they have a big Clan...and should be able to get enough.the players can probably get them fairly easy also. So not a big thing.(Pre-Season) ..Just wanting to help out.... PS (Mom and I used to watch the Pack sometimes only I had to watch the language on BAD CALLS and explain penalties!!!!!) All for now.. Thanks....

Did you check the Ticketmaster it self? I am sure lot of Packer fans who bought these tickets will try to unload them. Last season I was in the same boat, bought a pair of Packers/Chargers game in SD, but the package also came with a Chargers preseason game. Because there were glut of these preseason tickets on ticketmaster, and I couldnt unload mine. I ended up donating it to USO ( which I got a thank letter from a family who actually used them).

Thanks.. Long Live Pack..Just got them yesterday...I will check Ticketmaster. Have a great day.. USO thats where my parents met....A good ORG..

Nice turtle

He said turtle.

Indiana accents confuse me.

What exactly is a Hoosier?

The etymology of hoosier is unknown, but it has been used since at least 1830. According to Bill Bryson, there are many suggestions for the derivation of the word, but none is universally accepted.[citation needed] Jacob Piatt Dunn, longtime secretary of the Indiana Historical Society, noted that "hoosier" was frequently used in many parts of the South in the 19th century for woodsmen or rough hill people. He traced the word back to "hoozer," from the Cumberland dialect of England. This derives from the Anglo-Saxon "hoo", meaning high or hill. In Cumberland, "hoozer" meant anything unusually large, such as a hill. Immigrants from Cumberland settled in the southern mountains (Cumberland Mountains, Cumberland River, Cumberland Gap, etc.). Their descendants brought the name with them when they settled in the hills of southern Indiana.[1]
However, research published in 2007 by Jonathan Clark Smith of Hanover College offers different conclusions. Smith found that the 1826 letter by James Curtis cited by Dunn and others as the first known use of the term was actually written in 1846, and a 1827 diary entry by Sandford and Son (published in a newspaper in 1859) was likely an editorial comment and not from the original diary. Smith theorizes the word originated in the Ohio River commerce culture as a term for Indiana farmer flat-boatmen and did not become an insult until 1836.[4]
Fisk University history professor William Piersen suggests that followers of preacher Harry Hoosier were the original "Hoosiers". Harry Hoosier was a black itinerant Methodist minister who evangelized throughout the American frontier at the beginning of the 19th century. Piersen writes, "Such an etymology would offer Indiana a plausible and worthy first Hoosier – 'Black Harry' Hoosier – the greatest preacher of his day, a man who rejected slavery and stood up for morality and the common man."[5]
The term came into general usage in the 1830s. John Finley of Richmond, Indiana, wrote a poem, "The Hoosier's Nest",[6] which was published in 1833[7] and was used as the "Carrier's Address" of the Indianapolis Journal, January 1, 1833. It was generally accepted as a term for Indiana residents by the 1840s,[7] and as it came into common usage, the debates about the term's origin began.[1]
In 1900, author Meredith Nicholson wrote The Hoosiers, an early attempt to study the origins of the word as applied to Indiana residents. Jacob Piatt Dunn published The Word Hoosier in 1907, a serious study into the origin of the term "Hoosier" as a term used to describe the citizens of Indiana.[2] Nicholson and Dunn both chronicled some of the popular, satirical origins of the word (see below). Nicholson, however, had also defended against an explanation that the word "Hoosier" was applied to Indiana because it referred to uncouth country folk. Dunn, by contrast, concluded that Indiana settlers adopted the word as a humorous nickname, and that the negative connotation had already faded when John Finley wrote his poem.[8]

Interesting reading. Being a 3th-4th generation Hoosier not sure of the genealogy, as the family tree may have lost a couple limbs during the windstorm...1958??? Not sure on the date. My take on the orign of a Hoosier.....

It when someone comes to the door after dark unexpected and Grandpa goes to answer the door. He gets the squirrel gun goes to the front door and yells out without opening the door "WHOOO"S THER!!!"?????

Next time Hoosier Dialect 101. Words to be explored are WASH and VEHICLE.
Have a great day!!!!

Its a bastardized form of the phrase "Who's yer" as in "Who's yer daddy ?"

Apparently the early immigrants were quite promiscuous and adultery was rampant among the Indiana hill folks - as opposed to their neighbors to the west- the uber uptight and butt-ugly people of Illinois who nobody wanted to ****

That's why in the end, the bears still suck...

We aint got no hills.

Who's yer Daddy ?

I kinda like this guy.

Might be bat**** crazy, but polite as hell.

Two good qualities.
