I trudged about a mile from my parking spot to the tailgate. On the way to the tailgate, I was worried about being the odd man out not knowing anyone there.

Β 

I was scheduled to meet in person for the first time Schell, Domeanddomer, Chirodomer and Fanatic (Fanatic couldn't make it for personal reasons).

Β 

I got there and found Dome wearing his raccoon hat proudly lol! Met him, his father and mother and beautiful wife. They are wonderful people and immediately made me feel at home. Then I found that many of the people there I already knew. lol small world!

Β 

Schell and Chiro showed up. These guys are a hoot! Sooo funny!! We had a great time with our host Domeanddomer. Great tacos, beer and conversation! Bob Morton (ND's starting center from a few years back) stopped by the tailgate and took some pictures with us, super nice guy!

Β 

Well, Schell and Chiro bid us farewell as they were actually going into the stadium. Dome and his wife invited me back to his 60 inch flatscreen and mancave to watch the game. Come to find out that we watch the game in a very similar fashion. Standing, pacing and punching things. I now must buy a pair of hockey gloves! The ONLY way to express ones feelings.

Β 

Dome and I both thought we were going to pull this one out (well, maybe me more the Dome ;)). Wasn't a heart breaker because we are both realists. We took it for what it was.

Β 

All in all, great time with new friends although hated the loss.

Β 

Thank you Dome and your wife (and Killian) for a wonderful time and it was sooooo great to finally meet you, Schell and Chiro!!!

Now I know why I love DD so much! :thumb:

I had a great time meeting you guys. Was weird because usually when you meet someone it takes a while to warm up. It was awesome. EVERYONE KNEW A LOT ABOUT EACH OTHER IMMEDIATELY!!! Dome's wife had some kind of neon green drink in a purge valve kind of bag. Speed and Schell were pounding shots with Schell's brother...Bill? Dome was busy feeding the masses. Then I ate some of Dome's tacos and I swear to Lou that they were the best tacos i've ever eaten ever! Lot's of action out there! Then we all did shots of something....I was pretty intoxicated by the time I got there. Then we high fived everyone and rolled into the stadium. My two buddies that were Purdue and OSU fans were kicked out of the game within 5 minutes of walking in for open container of beer, that they walked in with! They headed to the Backer and my buddy Brett and I stayed in and cheered like mad men! I have a picture of all of us but I will need someone with more technical prowess to post it.

Above and beyond all of the arguments about our coaching, it was a great game, nice weather, and a great day at Notre Dame. Sorry I did not bump into any of you gentlemen. Sounds like you made some good memories.

Honestly, it was like running into guys that you've known your whole life and hadn't seen each other in a long time but caught right up in seconds. Good people. You will never feel out of place with our guys. Everyone should go and meet up even if you don't go in to the game. It was fun.

Would have liked to meet up with some of you guys, but had to meet up with my old roomies and other classmates at a tailgater, and then head to a reception my wife committed me to, which got the :llama::llama:award...great game except the result...

I have a picture of all of us but I will need someone with more technical prowess to post it.

This picture was right after a toast. Not sure what the shot was? :)

Hey Chiro. Can you send me a copy of that pic in email? I would love to have a copy.

Β 

Is your copy bigger?

Speedster looks like you should have arrested the lot...including yourself..joking there:grin:

Great time boys. FEAR THE RACCOON!!!!

Β 

I've got a good version of that pic that I will put up in the coming days. One of me and SpeedsterX with Bob Morton as he mentioned earlier.

Β 

Speedster, the hockey gloves are a must. You can punch whatever you want as hard as you want. That's why Aimee sits really far away from me. Quality beer fridge too eh?

Β 

Great weather, new and old friends, good food, cold beer. Only thing we missed was the W.

Β 

I rewatched the game with about 18 fewer beers in me, and I'm proud of this team. Our defense clearly has some issues, but we proved Saturday that we CAN play in the big boy sandbox. I truly truly believe that we win this game if we have a healthy Mike Floyd. Also, we were fractions of a second from sacking Barkley 7-8 more times. He made plays.
