On a not unrelated note, this was the year I began to hate the Steelers with, again, and near religious fervor.

It was also Jim Irsay's favorite Colts team ever ...... he held a reunion for that 1975 team in 2009.
39 of the 53 surviving members of that team showed up at Lucas Oil Stadium for that reunion, including Bert Jones, Lydell Mitchell, Mike Curtis, John Dutton, and Fred Cook.
Irsay was a 16-year-old water-boy for the 1975 Colts.
This is Bert Jones and Lydell Mitchell at the Lucas Oil Stadium Reunion, 2009.
