Several hundred students, professors, and staff braved the cold and snow flurries for a lunchtime pep rally on the quad in front of the IUPUI Student Center Thursday.

The purpose was to cheer on the Colts, as they prepare for Super Bowl XLI. While many students and staff were showing their Colts pride, there were a few Bears fans on hand as well.

People attending were treated to free tailgating food, in the form of burgers and hot dogs, as well as blue and white cake.
