Though happy to see both my teams get to the Superbowl, I'm a bit torn. I've been a Bears fan since high school (mid 80s). The 1985 Bears was my team... Walter Payton, Jim McMahon, Fridge Perry... ahh yes, what a great team it was. The Colts had just arrived, and really weren't too impressive at the time, so I had to turn to the next state to the west to be able to root for a winner.
Alas, the Colts improved. There was the Jim Harbaugh days and the last AFC championship game we were in against Pittsburgh (I still say we were robbed of that win), I started routing more for the home team. They didn't suck anymore. And then when Peyton Manning was drafted in 1998 for the Indianapolis Colts, it really seemed we might be going places. I must note here... to all the naysayers who thought the Colts should have taken Ryan Leif over Peyton Manning that year... HAH. I believe Ryan was watching this years season from his COUCH! Last years playoff's, we didn't make it, but this year we area going to the Super Bowl.
So, back to my dilemma... who to root for in the big game. I've gotta root, root, root for the home team this year, although the win will be bittersweet. If the Bears should pull it out and beat my beloved Colts, I still can't be too upset. I guess it's a win, win situation either way for me this year.
But in my heart..... GO COLTS!!! :o) They deserve it more... truly.
