Irish I may, Irish I might ...

Nate has already posted about last weekend's doings in South Bend. He was rather cryptic, even for an English major. I'll try to put a little flesh on those bones. Since the game resulted in a 27-14 loss to Boston College, the best memories focus on pre-game activities. It was a full minivan that pulled away from Abe's apartment building in Chicago on Saturday morning.

At the wheel was John Mark (an ND law classmate of Abe's and - by the way - a BC alum), along with Abe, Desiree, Nate, Ann, me, and Amy Green (another ND law-mate). Once on campus, we found a good tailgate crew and met up with Jake, Meghan, and Ryan.

In this shot, they are joined at the far left by Aidan Leonard. He's a son of one of my ND college buds, Dave Leonard (who was also there with his wife, Clare). See a shot of the old folks below. Aidan started ND law this year.

Ticket arrangements meant separate groupings at the game. Nate and I had good seats near the south goal. After the game, we had dinner at Legends near the stadium, then headed home for a late-night return to Chicago. It was great fun. I'll leave it to Abe and Nate to complete the "information that you CANNOT afford to miss."

After further thought on the unmissable information... we decided it best be left unmentioned for now.

It was so warm that Jake took off his MOCK TURTLENECK and proceeded to tie it on his shin. That's how warm it was.

...or Miller Lite... Its kinda difficult to tell. The one in Nate's hand may be better indication. Regardless, this is a great picture!
