Here's a pic from the IE crew at Louisville yesterday! The posters are the guys from left to right: "IrishLion", "ulukinatme", "arndtjc", Guy (Soon to be new poster, but has been a guest lurker in the past), and another poster who shall remain nameless. Not pictured are "condoms SUCk" and "Irish #1." condoms SUCk hung out at the tailgate with us most of the day, but headed to the stadium a bit earlier than us, so we missed getting a pic with him. Irish #1 parked closer at stadium and arndtjc and I met up with him for a bit after the game.
All these gents, pictured and unpictured, were top notch. Absolutely great tailgate, and a welcome place to hang out behind enemy lines (Many thanks to our tailgate host for hosting and doing the cooking, he made some great brats with onion and peppers! I forgot to try the chicken, but I heard good things). If you ever have the opportunity to tailgate with these gentlemen I highly recommend it.
Wearing sandals to a football game on the road is a bold move comrade. You never know if you are gonna find yourself surrounded and in need of some cowboy boots or steel toes.
I felt rather reserved most of the game. Usually I'm on my feet and yelling in South Bend, trying to keep opposing offenses from hearing cadences. I found myself mostly just clapping and giving the occasional encouragement in the form of "Lets go, D!" Maybe it was because that was my first away game and I wasn't sure how the crowd would respond, or the fact I realized I was super dehydrated and worn out on the way to the stadium, but I remained pretty reserved Monday night. arndtjc brought plenty of fire for both of us though, Louisville fans were being testy and he was throwing it right back at them lol. After Louisville did their little "First and 10" chant several times, he started mocking them by doing the same thing after each of our first downs...except with exaggerated motions and dripping with sarcasm. They didn't like that
