The November to Remember ends with a Bang, as long as the Colts players don’t block our view !

The past 30 Days truly have been an Amazing experience  already and after four Basketball games, its time for the reason we made the trip back from the desert 🏜. Donaldson Capitol is based out of Evansville, Indiana and we couldn’t be happier with our relationship with them over the years.

A conversation with Derek Riddle turned to Sports one day my friend Duke QB became a topic quickly. Fast Forward to today and we are back here at Lucas Oil Stadium 🏟 watching πŸ‘€ one of our own play quarterback in the NFL. Brandon Roop is the Man with the Plan down at Donaldson and he is our host today !

Daniel Jones has gone from a Zero Star 🌟 high School recruit from Charlotte, North Carolina to where he is today. A number of peaks and valleys along the way, for sure.

The location of the seats πŸ’Ί and access to the Club behind us was a last minute perk, very unexpected. It will certainly add a bit to the overall story but the true highlight is getting to show support for someone who you believe in while sitting with people who you believe in !

Jones, playing with a fracture in his leg 🦡might play the game of his today. It’s an equal possibility that he might throw four interceptions. Either way, Lin and I will board our ✈️✈✈️ back to the 🏜 later tonight with a smile on our face !

Funny thing about this one…. it wasn’t on the original list but as we were leaving Butler University we noticed a sign reading that tickets were available for as little as $5.00. Not a typo, NBA ticket for $5.00.

It is 2-15 versus 2-16 tonight but my ties πŸ‘” to the Indiana Pacers dates all the way back to their days in the ABA. Having a 40 year old Son that was born here = being really old. But that’s better beats being deceased….

Gainbridge Fieldhouse replaced the ancient Market Square Arena and they did a tremendous job with it!

It’s 28Β° outside so Lin was smart πŸ€“ enough to stay at the Hotel 🏨 for this one.
