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.

Correct. Every away game should be treated like a business trip.

What's worse is that they attempted to throw even more than that. Kizer was sacked 5 times, so they tried to throw it at least 31 times, and I'm sure there were probably a few more scrambles made by Kizer, so it's very likely that ND had more designed pass plays than designed runs in the game.

Better to push through first day of travel (go to bed normal local time) then ready by the following am

100%.

Flew to Ireland last month. After a 2 hour delay in Newark, we took off around 1:00 AM (EST).
I rested on the flight, but didn't sleep well - more in little chunks that added up to maybe 3 hours.

We landed at Shannon around 10:45 AM local time and pushed through until about 10:30 PM. I was definitely dead on my feet by the end of the night but slept well until about 7:45 AM and was perfectly fine the remainder of the trip.

Hard to believe real football is back this weekend. Really looking forward to having my blood pressure elevated for the first time since January.

Focus on the elevated BP today, not this weekend. Win today with the BP and carry that forward.

i dont really like this plan tbh. Doing a redeye flight to Ireland, trying to fight jet lag and then doing a thursday afternoon practice..thats a huge amount of fatigue thats going be on the players

The Thursday practice is just for that, getting jet lag off. The real Thursday practice is Wednesday before the flight . Staying awake Thursday and doing something physical is the right move.

This is the way to do it. I land in the morning, right to my auntie's house, proper cuppa, pub for a few pints, then get on with the day. Fight through it.

Did this last time I flew to Bangkok for work. Landed at 6 AM, walked as much as possible around the city, made it until about 9 PM and then my body shut down. Felt pretty normal the rest of the trip.

I'd ideally like to see them fly to Ireland tomorrow, giving them Thursday and Friday to adjust, but I think they'll be okay with the current schedule.

Really glad to hear that. Coach Kelly said that he really hated the overseas game because of the time zone disruption to everyone's cycles, and the game prep rhythms. Not sure even three days is enough but football players are tough.

And the Navy players will have to deal with the same travel circumstances although they are a little closer to Dublin due to being on the east coast.

We’re in Galway now. Was a good chance of rain yesterday and it ended up sprinkling only a couple mins. This morning looks to be another fabulous day of touring (cloudy). Forecast in Dublin on Sat. now shows a chance of morning showers and turning cloudy and some sun with a high of 64 degrees. Perfect weather ahead for Saturday evening. Being that the all seats in Aviva stadium are underneath cover and just the field is open, hopefully, that type of stadium design creates a natural wind block to assist in the unleashing of the ‘Air Sam’ show! Go Irish!

Galway....ahh.

Miss it already.

Live music at The Quays (or anywhere in Galway) can't be beat.
