28 Dec | Pinstripe Bowl vs. Rutgers

[johnnycando]

So my free ticket hookup just fell through and backed out of going to the game in the same email. Something about his baby being due the next day, blah, blah, blah. He's not a very good fan...But, I am, and there's no way I'm missing the game, even if I have to go by myself which is what it's looking like right now.

What's the deal with tickets? Are they still available? Anyone here have any available?

I plan on looking into it tomorrow but thought I'd get the needed info by posting here. Also, I haven't read through the thread but is anyone doing anything special (e.g. tailgate, party Friday night, etc) for the game?

Yankee stadium: experienced fans, tell me about them.

I am in the delta suites as well, sir. Pretty sure we can go on both sides of the stadium because they have a bar or something for just the delta suite on the opposite side of the stadium that the above poster mentioned. It should be sweet.

Sorry dawg.

They're gone.

I would have loved to chill with you though.

I have seen lots of "IE Tailgate" talk in the past for home games and such. Has it every happened? It would be fun to come troll everyone in person.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but from Grantland:

Blame the curious religious clash on the Hanukkah hangover, but I can’t help but liken Notre Dame’s swift acceptance of a Pinstripe Bowl bid to the manner in which I bear a seventh-night pair of socks or a Borders gift certificate that was bought in 2010 and snatched from the coupon drawer at the last minute: dutifully and respectfully, because, hey, it might come in handy. Obviously, a clash against a 6-6 Rutgers team in Yankee Stadium will do wonders for Notre Dame’s media presence in New York City, a market in which it is clearly lagging. And shouldn’t Notre Dame be happy to play in a midtier bowl after an 8-4 season? After all, the Fighting Irish's future coupling with the ACC may be a “friends with benefits” thing clearly tilted in their favor, but every now and again, you have to do something to make the lesser party feel like the relationship is “real”; being a mostly unranked, 8-4 team in the Pinstripe Bowl is about comparable to a movie/dinner date.

In any other year, this would be a huge capitulation, but it came and went with less fanfare than Wyoming hiring a coach from a state less populous than itself. Which leads to one of the most sneaky-weird stories of the 2013 season: I don’t get to say this very often about Notre Dame, so I’ll relish this: The Irish deserve better. This goes against the past two decades of Notre Dame bowl performance, which includes an approximate 296-13 scoring deficit in BCS bowls. But this 8-4 team somehow brings a stronger annual sales pitch than any of the 10-2 Notre Dame squads have: This team's schedule means more.

The Irish are the only squad in the country that beat Michigan State. They lost a close one to Stanford, but beat the Cardinal's Pac-12 title game opponent, Arizona State. BYU is a quality win. USC and Navy are nice résumé boosters. Aside from losing to an especially nondescript Pitt team, respectable defeats against Oklahoma and a still-motivated Michigan team are the Fighting Irish’s lone pockmarks.

This might be the only underrated Notre Dame team ever.

No less than five days ago, we were dealing with the distinct possibility of Central Florida and Northern Illinois or Fresno State occupying the spot usually earmarked for Notre Dame: that of a suspect squad with an inflated record about to get blown out in the biggest BCS mismatch. But more than in most years, Notre Dame deserves Notre Dame's spot this year. That's not to say the Irish should have taken Alabama's place or could avoid surrendering 60 points to Baylor. Check out the Pinstripe Bowl, though, and you'll be watching something similar to the newly "vegan" Jay Z showing up to a restaurant with Beyoncé draped in head-to-toe leather: It's an attempt to lose some of the unsightly baggage and connect with the common man, but we know damn well this is only a temporary phase they're enduring through gritted teeth.

I don't give a shit really who we play...i just want to win and go 9-4 on the year...send the seniors out w/ a win..........NO ONE(outside of the fan base) remembers which games people win or lose besides the bcs bowls or you get slaughtered....a la clemson vs wvu

Glad the haters are noticing what a good season we had. I totally agree with that guy's take. 8-4 isn't a gaudy record, but if you watched every game I don't see how you could come to any conclusion but that this is a damn good football team. We have room to improve, especially at QB (as much as I love Tommy for giving it his all), but this was definitely a season to be proud of.

I agree. Aside from the Pitt game, I mostly feel that we overachieved this season. It didn't necessarily feel that way at the time, but looking back on it and seeing where some of our opponents ended up at the end and knowing what we endured in terms of attrition, I think our guys should be proud of what they accomplished. (Have to beat Rutgers, through!)

And the first 2 minutes of the Oklahoma game. We beat ourselves in that one. We could have and should have won that game if not for 2 particularly special turnovers early.

I just called Rutgers to ask where my tickets were. (I am an alum and ordered them through the RU athletic department). I was informed that I am not a preferred alum and since they had over 14k ticket requests; only priority ticket holders were allotted tickets. This is after they charged my credit card.

I hate Rutgers and Rutgers Football. I hope ND beats them by 80 points so that the Big Ten drops them and Rutgers is banished to Div 3 football where they belong. That joke of a program and academic mantra of "we were almost ivy league.." irritates me to no end. We're not an Ivy League school and the football program is comparable to Colgate on a good year but more aptly resembles the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds.

Sorry for my rant. But I am not happy

Weather forecast is calling for partly sunny skies and temps in the mid 40's. Should be fine weather and I expect ND receivers to put up big numbers.

 

[Rudy89]

I hope we have a temple or Air Force performance in this game but I've felt it all year and a bowl game won't change it I'm nervous about this one!

 

[GreenSox04]

Merry Christmas to me, pinstripe bowl bound!

Don't be nervous. Win or lose, it doesn't really matter at all

 

[Rudy89]

True but that day will also be date night/day and last time that fell on a day the Irish lost to Pitt and I was so mad I overspent money at GameStop and the comic shop before went to the movie so for the sake of being thrifty I hope we win!

I'll be in the delta suites as well.

Make up your mind. Back off or fuck. A fucking good example of a fucking missing comma, Oxford or not.

Allow me: "I am a Greyhound, fucker! Back off my Alma Mater, Motherfucker!"

Someone has to keep you busy.

Otherwise, it's just you and Jack.

Daniels that is; not Hoff although I'm sure he still makes by those 65 year old fruit of the looms every decade or so...

Merry Xmas you old wanker hippie English professor.

A season schedule and bowl schedule should be passed out to all family members and nothing should be scheduled on any of those days.

No idea what goes through these individuals head.

Be sure to send them a nice card. A phone call at half time would also be a nice gesture.

After 45+ years as an ardent ND football fan, I'm finally going to get to see them live on Saturday.

We were at Disney World earlier this month and, by comparison, that was a trip to the dentist compared to the anticipation I'm feeling for this game!

Like most of you, I get VERY emotionally involved in our games. My wife has informed me that - should I be in the vicinity of Rutgers fans and the game is not going well for us...

A) I am too old to be getting into fights.

B) She is not paying my bail if I should ignore A.


...Do any of you guys that are going have a couple hundred extra on you, just in case?...

Hey man congrats on your first game! And to have it at such a venue, way awesome. I know the feeling, my first game was 2010 vs Navy in the Meadowlands, awesome experience even though we got blown out. Then I got to see them at Soldier Field vs Miami for the Shamrock Series. Still waiting for my first home game though.
Enjoy it to the fullest brutha! ...as for the bail… just don't get caught
