Power Rankings 1. New England Patriots: 5-0 (1) Not quite the 50 burger I predicted, but the Patriots still handled business this past week, winning 34-27 over the Colts. Although it was a one score game, the score wasn’t indicative of how much the Patriots dominated the game. Despite, Tom Brady throwing his first interception of the season, he is still by far the MVP through the first six weeks of the season. The Patriots’ are the most complete offensive team in football. They have…

A great trick play that pays off can demoralize the opposition and provide enjoyable memories for years to come. Think of Dan Marino yelling, “Clock,” to delude the Jets into thinking he would spike the ball or the Bills sneaking a defensive lineman onto the field to catch a touchdown on a fake field goal attempt. But trick plays can also go wrong. And when they go as badly wrong as whatever the Colts were trying Sunday night, they bring not admiration, but scorn, mockery and just plain laughter…

As far as segmentation in the market for this case study, the typical IndyCar fan differs in many ways. For instance, IndyCar fans are different from motorsport fans in terms of loyalty, IndyCar fan just kind of hope around after the split. Clearly, motorsports fans love the adrenaline rush the race offered. As a result, IndyCar took note and developed a better strategy to present their events in a way that enhanced their fans experiences (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). For instance, Ferrell &…

My Journey to IUPUI My road to Indianapolis University- Purdue University was not an easy one emotionally. Over the course of the last year my journey to becoming a college student was definitely not what I expected it was going to be nor how hard mentally it would become. I thought that I was going to get into my dream school, IU Bloomington, without any problem given my grades and extracurricular involvement. But, my SAT was an average score and that wasn’t good enough. On March 10, 2017, my…

It was a warm fall day. A grey Dodge minivan was driving along the plains of Nebraska. The destination of the vehicle was Denver, Colorado. More specifically they were going to a Denver Broncos football game between the Broncos and the Oakland Raiders. I was in the vehicle with my Mom, Dad, and some family friends whose names were Martin and Michelle. We were trying not to let the monotonous drive dwell on our spirits as we told jokes, listened to the radio and took the occasional nap. As…

Good morning, If IndyCar hired me as their strategic marketing analyst, I would encourage the league to focus its efforts on road courses, as well as, oval tracks for its racing venues. Oval tracks were initially built for stock car racing (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014); however, I think open-wheel racing can also be a part of this venue. The IndyCar league differs from NASCAR for the one reason they can reach speeds that far exceed stock car racing; however, this does bring the safety of the…

Indianapolis, Indiana’s capital and the largest city in the state has one of the highest crime rates in the United States, which was ranked number nine in 2014 with a crime rate of 62 per one thousand residents (McQuaid).

Furthermore, according to the UCR of 2014, Indianapolis had a murder rate of 5.0 per 100,000 residents, a first-degree…

Michael Spradlin uses this history very acutely. This book is accurate because of its shark attacks, as how the USS Indianapolis sunk. The book Into the killing seas By Michael Spradlin is definitely one of the most action packed books I have read. This is a story about Benny, Teddy, and Patrick. The first major event that happened to the boys is when they were on the USS Indianapolis. Patrick and Teddy were in a crate hiding when the ship was hit by a missell. Benny went to save…

We decided to learn more about an Indianapolis based sports radio station, 1070 “the Fan”. To get a more in-depth perspective we interviewed John Griffin who is the() to get a better understanding of how the business functions. One of the Fan’s biggest strengths comes from its affiliation with ESPN. This association gives the Fan a national presence to stand above its competitors. They are able to air programs such as Mike and Mike in the Morning that draws in viewers who might not have tuned…

The passenger terminal at Indianapolis International Airport was the first to be designed and built in the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks. As a result of this, the airport has in place a multi-million dollar luggage screening process. The events of 9/11 necessitated this comprehensive screening process, which was previously absent, in order to make sure that explosives were not being placed in checked bags For the first time ever, on Monday, the Transportation Security…
