About Nick »

I am an elementary school teacher, a husband, and a proud father of four children. Somehow, I still manage to find time to be an avid sports fan.
My first love as always been the Indianapolis Colts. My father took me to my first game in 1985, and we've been season ticket holders since 1987. I enjoy following Colts' news throughout the year and discussing game strategies during the season.
If I'm not watching Colts, I am keeping up to date on the college sports scene in Indiana and Kentucky. The Indiana Hoosiers, Purdue Boilermakers, Louisville Cardinals, and Kentucky Wildcats are teams I follow during football and basketball seasons.
Personally, I am ending a dozen years away from sports journalism. It was my original major in college and the passion for writing about sports has never left my blood. I look forward to everyone's comments about my articles and I'm always willing to discuss a little Colts football.

New Article: The Dime Package: Colts Keep Things Interesting During Winning Streak

published by Nick South

The Colts reached their tenth win in 10 tries this year with a tough 17-15 win over the Ravens. I've never known a 10 win team to be labeled with so many questions, which kind of helps this week's column write itself...

Hey Nick,

I just completed the second of a three part series between myself, Mike Kline and Justin McTeer, breaking down the Duke Blue Devils basketball season.

I highlight the back court of Duke and the different players that will need to contribute to the team. If you get a chance, check it out.

Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!
