Telling you, that's what it was last night.

It was unbelievable.

I,

I, it was crazy to me because to know that the Northern Lights was visible in northern

Indianapolis and to not know about that until it was dark outside.

You would have thought that would have been the kind of thing that, you know, like maybe it was,

you know, a month out that people would be like, hey, the Northern Lights on, you know, 11-11, take a look at it. Maybe you can't forecast that ahead of time. Kind of like how you can't forecast that the Colts on the byweek would be eight and two. sitting as the number one seed within the AFC or right at the top of things for the NFL,

the guy that does, of course, the postgame show that you hear on the Colts Radio Network, joining us now on the Java House, Pielandport, Gasline, Greg Raikstra, who you'll hear on this radio station. And I'm grateful for that over the next couple of days while I'm on vacation, joining us now. Rick, let's begin with, I want to get to the Colts actually.

But before that, I want to ask you about something that you witnessed yesterday, not the

Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights, but that we were kind of waiting to light up.

And that is the IU-N-D basketball offense because I knew when they went out and got

a new head coach and talked about it in the Horizon League media days that IUNDD was

anticipated they were going to be this high-flying offense. And not that they haven't been,

but apparently yesterday against IU Columbus, they really flipped that switch, and you were there, correct?

Correct.

So, A, my ears are still ringing from 5,500 elementary school kids being at the game, a new IUND record.

This is something that they've done a handful of years in terms of having a weekday matinee game.

And frankly, baseball has had this idea forever,

having a baseball and education day, and now minor league hockey does it,

and a lot of kind of small colleges slash low to mid-D-1s will do it, too.

Take one home game usually against the non-division one foe,

and play an afternoon game and bring in some field trip kids
