We would much rather have this entire show be about how a little known kicker from the MAC kicked a 48 yard field goal to beat Michigan. It’s certainly a better story than talking about UNC.
One of the best ND football experiences I’ve ever had was at Udub. Season of 1995. Sat 2 rows from the track and ND was down most of the game. ND Cheerleaders were right in front of us and the Leprechaun kept running up in front of us and giving the 1st down motion as we made our late game rally. Then, when we scored our last TD to take the lead, he jumped into the stands right on top of us. It was awesome.
By the way, if memory serves me right, the guy who owns this ND site, and maker of the great “ND Season Highlight” videos lives out in the Sea-town area. I don’t know his name, but I think he works for one of the local TV stations (KIRO maybe?) If you haven’t checked out any his season highlight videos of past, download them for free and burn them to DVD. They’re pretty kick ass….well, all of them except last year’s. I might have just given you your entertainment for the upcoming bye week. http://www.dietler.net/nd/videos/
Schlitz, all kinds of awesome guys. Good show, my only suggestion is to maybe make the show a few minutes longer! I enjoy watching every week – keep it real.

my brother is doing the urbanathalon this weekend in chicago. he might be able to help you along if you’re struggling.
Nice. Tell him to keep his eyes out for me. I’ll be near the back of the pack Im sure, wearing something Notre Dame related. If anything, I’ll keep my eyes out for him to grab a beer with after.
@Mike – You need to use your facebook skills to find out which football players’ parents want to tailgate with us at the USC game. 4 years ago we got Goolsby’s dad, but 2 years ago we had no team member’s family.

I can hit a reverse-layup. And if left open from the corner behind the arc I probably can shoot 45%. Those are Damon Jones’ like numbers and we all know he is the greatest shooter of all-time.

Out of 10 attempts, who would make more?
Brandon Walker from 40 yards out
or…
Eric shooting from half-court
Jack on October 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Oh man… I love that idea. Over the past two years, how many 40+ attempts does Walker have? Let’s just take that average and we’ll get Eric out on the court this weekend.
Great show guys I’m def gonna have to find somewhere around Columbus that sells the Shlitz haven’t had that shlit for awhile.
I do have a question tho, I just got out of the Marines and my dad bought me tickets to my first ND home game (Been to two away) vs Syracuse on the 22nd you guys got any pointers to make my first ND home game as memorable as possible?

@Todd: Don’t have too much advice for you. There is a ton of different stuff to see on Game Day around campus. Outside of all the tailgating – the players walk from the chapel to the stadium is pretty cool to see, along with the band marching into the stadium. It’s really just a special atmosphere walking around campus. Enjoy your Schlitz.
@Jack and Sprout: If I get into a rhythm early I can hit more than 3. Hopefully the same can be said for Walker.
Eric on October 17th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Thanks Eric, we were def gonna watch the players and the band for sure, I can’t wait to take it all in… around what time do they walk after mass?
Todd on October 18th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Sprout and Eric,
During my bye week, I dried out from drinking the pain away from the L in Chapel Hill. Also, I did a lot of research on how bad Ty has been throughout his career. His one Rose Bowl season included a loss to San Jose St and a beatdown from Texas. It was pre-Carroll Pac-10 and they made the Rose Bowl at 8-4. My main focus is the Washington years. Ty has had a 6 game losing streak in every year at UW, bringing his record in Seattle to 11-31. The glaring stat is that Ty has 6 wins versus Pac-10 opponents during his reign of terror (05-present). Weis has had 7 wins versus Pac-10 teams in the same length of time. Ty is on thin ice out west and this mantra holds true from his time at ND….If you don’t get wins, there will be no Ty’s.
