Campus readies for 'Super' Sunday

Are you ready for some football?\nAs 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?\n"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."\nFarrell, 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.\n"Rex Grossman sucks, Peyton Manning sucks," Farrell said, describing the trash talk. "I don't see how you couldn't like Peyton, though."\nFreshman 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.\n"Colts fans always say how Peyton Manning is better," he said. "And Bears fans try to argue that they have a better defense."\nIncidents around campus involving fans of the two teams have been relatively mild according to sophomore Marc Momcilovich, a Bears fan.\nMomcilovich has had four-letter expletives yelled outside his door, "but besides that it's no big deal," he said. "We'll see on Sunday."\nNot everyone at IU is a fan of the Bears or Colts.\nJunior Scott Demar is a fan of the Miami Dolphins, but said he will be pulling for the Bears and his idol, Bears quarterback Rex Grossman. Demar, who is from Florida, said he has been a fan of Grossman since he played at the University of Florida. Despite the Dolphins not making the playoffs, he said he has seen the excitement of this year from both Colts and Bears fan in his fraternity house, Pi Kappa Phi.\n"Pretty much during the playoffs, people ran through the halls any time a big play happened for either team," he said.\nKickoff for Sunday's game is scheduled for 6:25 p.m. on CBS. At the start of the game, the divide between Colts and Bears fan should be fairly apparent.\n"It's going to be pretty split," Momcilovich said. "There will be a lot of drunk people arguing."\nMuch of campus will be glued to a television, whether it's in a dorm, a house, an apartment or at the bars.\n"I don't think there's going to be any riots, but I'm sure there is going to be a couple bar fights somewhere," said freshman Pat Lisinski, a Bears fan.\nCome Monday morning, the two groups of fans will still exist. But only one group can will be able to call its team Super Bowl champs.\n"I think whoever loses is probably not going to class for a couple days," Demar said.
