Who knew the onside kick was coming?

I put this in another thread about the onside kick, but I was in New Orleans on bourbon street upstairs with about 10 of my friends watching the game in the hotel room so we could hear the game and see it, and we had a balcony that we ran out on to scream every time the Saints made a play or scored.

Right before the 2nd half kickoff I yelled out "Onside kick right HERE Right NOW! Onside kick right HERE!"
Then it happened.
They all looked at me like I was Nostradamus. Then they all jumped up and hi-fived me saying "you called it man, you called it!".
So, did I KNOW it was coming? No.
Was it a lucky call on my behalf? Absolutely.
But it made sense for 2 reasons. 1) I know Sean Payton is a gambler, and 2) The best way to keep Indy from scoring is to keep it out of Peyton's hands.
Calling the onside kick before it happened will always be an extra special memory for me.
