You never know when you'll meet an ND fan...

I live in Plano, Texas--surrounded by OU and UT fans...so while at our Christmas party last night I met an ND fan--I was beside myself. A woman I work with introduced me to her husband who is from the Dallas area but absolutely loves ND. So this woman watched her husband and I talk ND football for 45 minutes. Bless her heart--she hung in for the entire conversation and seemed to enjoy watching us having ND rapture. Before we ended our conversation he had to show me his ND tattoo...which was very cool. Finding out this guy was an ND fan was like finding a member of some secret club...but what it really proves is that ND fans are legion. I also told him about this site...and will email him the link via his wife. What a great night hanging out with another ND fan talking football!

It was like finding a pile of money. We email every day and his wife sent me pictures of their 2 year old daughter wearing an ND cheerleader outfit. Sooooo cute. Considering his parents are OU/UT fans...he's very special.

You must be kidding, right? There are Irish fans all over this country. Just on this site alone there are so many people from places other than South Bend. Go Irish.

Dude...I live in TEXAS. People HATE ND here. It's like being something other than a Southern Baptist and trying to find people who aren't SB. I have to be very careful about saying I'm an ND fan. It's UT or OSU and that's it.

I live in a tri-state area of near the ohio and wva. boarders - so, around here its either Ohio State - West Virginia or Marshall - and I just can't really stand any of those schools.

University of Texas or Oklahoma--PLEASE! It's like living in hell. Sure there are ND fans all over the country--but they aren't living down my street!
