Perfect day Saturday ruined by on field play.

[The Gold Helmets]

Had an amazing time Saturday in South Bend. Had a great tailgate, good weather, loved the helmets, loved the music in the stadium.... but ND didn't come through.

Read my game write up here. Going to stay positive. Time to move forward. Go Irish, beat Navy!

Any word on if the music is going to continue? And if so, can they diversify the selection a little...ha!

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

I hope they diversify too.

No joke. I thought there were some pretty good suggestions in the atmosphere (I think it was there?) thread. We should email the list to someone who knows someone, who knows someone. If you know what I mean.

Every time I see a thread about the game and our play pop up two days after the game and after we have like 1000 others I want to be like, "Wtf is wrong with you? We have way too many of these as is." But then I realize it's your write up and I'm like "Oh..."

liked the article...right combination of play and fandom...good perspective. Sometimes we take this WAAAY to seriously. For the first time in a long time, I let it go (sort of).

...I did notice though...given the new helmets...probably time for a new banner on the "Gold Helmets" articles...

Well said.

It is extremely frustrating that BK and several players continued to publicly call for a better atmosphere out of the fans (who held up their end). The entire focus last week was on everything but the game itself it seemed.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.... I'm p!ssed out the outcome, but it is kind of hard not to have fun when you are hanging at a Notre Dame football tailgate with friends and family.

The atmosphere was great at the game, we need more variety. I will email some suggestions to the link BGIF.

I kind of get the feel after hearing Kelly's comments last week about how practice was going and after watching the Irish Connection video that the players weren't real focused heading into this game. The excitement by the players in the Irish Connection video seems manufactured.

If you aren't into it in practice the week before the game you can't expect to flip the switch and be jacked up when the lights come on. I could be wrong but it is just a hunch I have after seeing and hearing some of what went on last week.

You are right Rocket66 the fans held up their part I stood and yelled the whole game, no one told me to calm down or take a seat. The crowd was solid.

*Edit* Just listened to Kelly's presser from today he mentioned his team's body language and questions where his team was at during practice last week.

I have already thought of that! If there anyone on here who has some photoshop skills that would like to submit some banners please PM me. I wouldn't mind having four or five I could switch up every so often.
