Watch ESPN2 Thursday at 7 p.m.!!!

Big doings in our small city. Not only are the Colts getting ready for the Super Bowl, but our local high school will be featured in the Old Spice High School ESPN2 basketball game Thursday.

The North Central Panthers will be taking on Chicago Loyola Academy on national television. Rumor has it that Michael Jordan will be at the game because his son is playing for Loyola.

In honor of this huge and historic event, I get to haul my ass out at 6:30 a.m. to drive in the arctic air to drive my son and his friends to school to perform in the pep band at a 7 a.m. rally.

So if you do watch the game, look for the long-haired kid in the band with the black ski hat on and the shiny new trumpet. That one would be mine!
