My wife had no clue about my ND passion when we met. First year were married, both sides of the family wanted us to spend it with them on Thanksgiving. Where did we end up? Inside ND stadium watching ND and Air Force! Didn't take her long to get on the bandwagon.
No one better.
We’ll be rolling into Dublin from Galway sometime Thursday PM. Our hotel is .6 mile from Aviva stadium. If it works out, planning to stroll down there. Flying out of O’Hare this evening and we’re fuckin’ pumped for the Emerald Isle vacation and especially enjoying the Fighting Irish kickoff on Saturday!! Go Irish!
Enjoy the trip, reach out if you need anything or have any questions!
I sure hope so
TBH they should be arriving in Dublin today, spending the whole week getting acclimatized and getting some cultural experiences in. The plan they have in place is a way too business trip-ish i think
I don’t think it’s bad if they are able to get some sleep on the flight. But if you don’t sleep well on a plane (like me), Thursday will suck lol.
Remind me though, don't think that the game in 2012 was a night game, correct?
This is how I recall it as well
I feel like 2012 was at 9 or 10 in the morning US central time. So probably mid-afternoon in Ireland.
Yeah it was definitely 9 or 10 central time, I remember showing up to the local Irish bar with my brothers and doing car bombs with the breakfast sammies the staff had made for us. We ended up staying all day watching football through the night games.
It sure was. We watched Tuitt’s scoop and score from a St Louis hotel that morning before heading to the casino to lose my money in blackjack that early afternoon.
His fair catch wave must be the most obvious on the team...
I remember Autry Denson romping thru the middies while I was barely awake so that first ND/Navy Ireland game was really early in the US, 7 AM I think.
Nah that's for the fans imo. Players need to be laser focused on making tackles and putting up tuddies not getting distracted by pubs and redheads.
