Keiahooooooooooooo!

October 12, 2008

When Lorrie offered to get me a Colts jersey last year, I had to pick a player.  That’s when I saw Freddy Keiaho single-handedly (literally, since one hand was in a cast at the time) tackle both the blocker and the ball carrier in one fell swoop.  I saw his passion and I knew that I could proudly wear a #54 jersey.  Now every time Keiaho makes a tackle, we shout out “Keiahoooooo!”  And by the end of a game, my voice is hoarse!

After sitting in our basement watching the Colts on the big screen break the curse of Lucas Oil Stadium with an awesome 31-3 win over Baltimore, Lorrie and I decided to go for a walk in our neighborhood.  Lorrie said it was too hot to wear a jersey and took her Harrison jersey off, but I insisted, “I’m not wearing it for warmth, I’m a fan!”

Just as we rounded the corner of our neighborhood clubhouse, a car pulled up and a young guy leaned out of the window.  “Hey there.  I’m Freddy Keiaho!”  It was really Freddy Keiaho, his wife, and a bunch of her sisters.  They saw my jersey and pulled over to say hi.

Freddy asked if we have a pen… of course, we didn’t.  So, they invited us to climb into the back of the car and they drove us to our house to get a pen.  Unbelievable!  Lorrie and I were very impressed with him.  An incredibly polite young gentleman.


Woohoo!  No washing this jersey!

What are the odds?!?  Only in a great city like Indianapolis!  Go Colts!!!!
