In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past year. It’s NFL kick-off time and the reigning world champions are none other than the Indianapolis Colts.

Today is officially Blue Thursday and there’s lots of events on the schedule today. Of course there’s the NFL kick-off concert and party that will be at Monument Circle downtown. The festivities start off with the group Hinder at 5:15pm, the inaugural American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson at 6:00pm and country music singer Faith Hill at 7:00pm.

For you Colts fans, if you haven’t heard, St. Vincent Children’s Hospital is now called Peyton Manning’s Children Hospital at St. Vincent. That name change was announced yesterday, I’m sure the NFL will probably pick-up on that bit of news during tonight’s game.

Indiana native John Cougar Mellencamp will be performing in the RCA Dome before the game as well and Keyshia Cole will be singing the National Anthem.

If you’re not into the Colts but want to do something downtown, you can join a group of protesters in Pan Am Plaza complaining about the Indiana property tax situation.

If you’re not into any of that stuff, you might be interested in Big Brother 8, it’s eviction night tonight!
