Blue-Gold Game Roll Call!

[Svoboda]

Do we have many members do we have attending the Blue-Gold Game next Saturday? I'm still 50/50 on going because I'm waiting on a decision from my oldest on whether or not he wants to skip Little League Opening Day festivities and go up to South Bend.

If you're going, throw a post in here!

[domehead1]

I am going for sure..bringing the family. Parking in the ACC parking lot (which is by the Kiddie rides). Stop by for a beer.

[HereComeTheIrish]

Definately will be there.

[IrishChieftain777]

I'll be there with sons in tow!

[ND Fanatic]

I'll be there....

[IrishR#1]

I will be there tearing up the joint.

[rontdtarchala]

I'll be thinking of all you guys and praying for an excellent time and safe trip home...don't get too lost cause it sure is changed. I think the only thing that hasn't been changed are the quads...

[IrishR#1]

The drive from Indianapolis (Carmel) to South Bend is probably the easiest drive in history. Once you get on 31, it's a straight drive into South Bend. And the traffic is never bad, not to mention they are planning on building a highway or something where you don't have to go through Kokomo, the town from hell. That would make the drive about 90 minutes.

[rontdtarchala]

man I'm here to tell you people that never drive through kokomo just don't understand that friggin town...I don't think I've ever made it through without stopping at every friggin light

[spbirish]

I will be coming with my 8 year old for his first ND experience.:clover::clover:

Sounds like a wonderful time spb... Nothing like a ballgame with your son...especially when it's a Notre Dame ballgame. :)

We're coming out with roughly 23 people so that ought to be interesting.

[notredomer23]

Ill be there Friday Night and leaving Monday....

[rontdtarchala]

enjoy spb that's one of the gifts the Lord gives you...a game with your son is way special...

[IrishR#1]

I'm going to expose my kids when I have them to football ASAP. Probably around 7 or 8. The best thing about having a kid sit next to you is the extra space. I love having season tickets.

[bigyankees747]

I will be there , with my boys from AURORA , IL

[mwinely]

My son and I went last year for the first time and were planning on it this year as well. However, my father recently passed away and my mom is holding a birthday party for him on Saturday (1st b-day without him). Is the B-G game the end of spring practice and is there a chance to see a practice in place of the game?

[SoCalDomer]

count me out. now tell me does this sound reasonable to any of you.

the spring game is the same day as my wife's birthday. i offered to buy us tickets for the game. i got a roll of the eyes. i then offered to just go myself, my gift to her, a weekend without me. then i got sent to the couch.

sheesh. you try to be giving, and look what happens.

Yeah, this game will signify the end of spring practice. Sorry for your loss.

[daytonirish]

Sorry forthe loss of your father.

SoCal don't know what to say to you. Sounds like you made a great offer to your wife and don't understand why she has a problem with the free weekend you offered her. :bigsmile:

Women can be so unreasonable. :nanana:

I'm staying in Elkhart. More reasonable rooms and better upkeep.

I think you should fishy!!! You two together...Forget it!

[notredomer23]

Nice attempt. My middle child's birthday is April 22nd and my little boy's is the 30th. Weekends this time of year are tied up and this is my last one within a full day's drive of ND. I should keep an eye out for a promotion / relo to the South Bend / Chicago area if I ... no. I will stay put in SoCal.

Thanks!! Any advice - places to see.... things to do??? open to suggestions :)

[IrishGrizz]

HCTI- WTG- now top 20 posters all over 1000 posts. Not bad for the greatest Irish site that is GH!

[Svoboda]

It looks like we (Tanner and I) are probably going to be there while mom and Nic go to Opening Day.

[IrishR#1]

And I'm getting close to 1000.

[IrishGrizz]

You'll hit there faster than you realize. Make it memorable. Mine was..ah..umm..oh, forget it.

[SoCalDomer]

negative

[KamaraPolice]

not to get off topic, but who's the little guy on the right in the picture?

[Fishin'_Irish]

Make it memorable. Mine was..ah..umm..oh, forget it.

That's what she said about her first time with Stoney. :nanana::rofl:

[Svoboda]

will the game be shown on und.com?
No, but last year it was available online via radio feed from WNDU, which just so happens to be available in our Radio/TV section.

[CULion17]

Wish I could be going up there this weekend. Especially since we are the only major program not having the game broadcast at all.
WTF!!!!!!! Not that I was expecting the rim job session that ESPN gave Florida this past saturday, but the University of Notre Dame has no broadcast at all for the spring game and that sucks big huevos. I've seen a bunch of SEC spring games on comcast sports channels down here, Pitt has their game on NFL network, and ND couldn't get the game on NBC, MSNBC, or even nbc.com!?!?!
If anybody hears of a radio or video broadcast please post it asap!!!

[CULion17]

Broadcast or not I am expecting detailed observation and analysis from all of you that are there. 2000 word minimum or you will fail the GH Spring Semester!!!!!!!!

[NDgrandson]

Welcome the f*** back. Where you been? I've been out myself but you've been MIA.

Where is that thread that was all about what to do when going to a ND home game? We need a link for our man labrahams.

You are right on about not having this on TV. C'mon NBC.

[NDgrandson]

No, but last year it was available online via radio feed from WNDU, which just so happens to be available in our Radio/TV section.

I will definitely do my best. I plan on taking my camera and hope to provide some pictures of the game as well.

[irishdan123084]

[SoCalDomer]

I went on the tv/radio site and all I could find was wvfi how do i get wndu...

that's the only SB station i found too.

[Svoboda]

I'm sorry... that is the one I meant. I will email the station and try to verify it will be on as well.

[rontdtarchala]

1. You outed yourself as being a female. Lots of attention coming your way :love: from the GH faithful I bet.

2. Did you just say you are mine? :kiss::groucho:

You can now tell me to :talktothehand:

[daytonirish]

Just hope NDGirlz doesn't fill her in on any of us. :bigsmile:

Just hope NDGirlz doesn't fill her in on any of us. :bigsmile:

Yea it will be over before it started.......like a lot of my girlfriends when I was in jr hi:bugeyes:

[irish_bobcat]

I wish I could go the game but I live to far away from South Bend. I am sure all of you guys that are going will give us a detailed description of the game.

[NDgrandson]

Just hope NDGirlz doesn't fill her in on any of us. :bigsmile:

She has bra in her handle. la bra hams. Bras and meat are alright in my book. The la gives it a spanish flavor too. If NDgirlz bra was made of ham she would probably have no problem earing it.

can someone who is going pick-up one of these back-pack TV transmitters so the rest of us can tune in? i don't think security will be a problem.

Are they only available at Revco?

[IrishGrizz]

I've seen Wiley Cyote order them from Acme Co. before

Word is Bill Belichick wants to get a look at future linebacker Maurice Crum, so he'll provide the transmitter.

[daytonirish]

For those going, a friend e-mailed me and said that Cierre Wood said his mom will propably go crazy if the fans at ND spring game are asking for his autograph. So you know if you do happen to spot him and his mom. Just sayin.

[domehead1]

I wonder how she'll feel about a big ole hug?
