Nope, Indiana Institute of Technology

Very young, Grandpa indoctrinated me around the age of 5.

Past is probably the Bus, present is Jaylon(He is from Fort Wayne)

 

Will all the frozen 5 return this year?

No, at least one or two of them will not.

Whore, by In This Moment, I would drink Maria Brink's bath water.

 

What is your game day ritual?

Try to get everything done around the house before kickoff. Drinking.

 

Beside DD if you could only view one other ND site it would be?

Probably 247, but if DD ceased to exist I would only go there to get recruiting info.

 

What other sports teams do you follow?

Da bears, Cubs, and just a little Blackhawks.

 

Does Grace come back and contribute on the field this year?

Nope, i would be surprised if he ever plays for ND again.

 

lassie or rin tin tin?

Rin Tin Tin only because my neighbor growing up had a border collie that i hated.

 

Did you have to Google that last question?

Nope.

 

Who would play you in a DD movie?

Tough one, probably Jon Belushi, or any other sophomoric idiot.

 

What is something we'd be surprised to know about you?

I am about to turn 33 and have been with my wife since right before i turned 17. I also witnessed a murder when i was 17, if you are into that.

Notre Dame beating Michigan any year!

 

You will stop rooting for ND when?

 

I die. I have threatened to stop when they start paying players, but that's not likely.

Paying players would definitely start to ruin college football. But I would root for ND until I stop watching college football all together.

Personally I'm against paying players but in this climate of greed if i had a vote, it would be to pay the kids.

Did you attend ND ?

 

No, I attended Concordia University in Montreal. I was highly recruited across Canada and at a few U.S. schools but I chose to stay close to home. Ended up leaving training camp after a traumatic event on campus; thought I'd return to camp the following year but landed a job, fell hard for Notre Dame Saturdays and never looked back. Have tons of regrets and have nightmares about going back to training camp at least three or four times a year.

 

When did you become a fan?

 

I have been a fan since 1987. Attended my first game in 1994 - Navy after driving 20+ hours to get to South Bend...will never forget seeing the golden dome gleaming at 4 in the morning...slept in the van at University Park mall overnight with five other guys in sub zero temps...we made so much condensation all cramped in that van that it felt like we'd wet the bed... We scalped on Angela and ended up sitting on the field in the end zone...it was magical coming out of the tunnel seeing the stadium that first time.

 

Who is your favorite player? Past and Present.

 

Past is tough...toss up between Chris Zorich and Jerome Bettis for top-tier talents...other faves not so revered by the masses would be Luke Petitgout, Jordan Black and Gene McGuire. Te'o was God until sh!t hit the fan...

 

Current roster...Christian Lombard, Ronnie Stanley, Jaylon of course and Andrew Trumbetti...Pumped to see Nyles Morgan in action...

 

Will all the frozen 5 return this year?

No. It has taken too long. I think we've heard too much about Russell coming back but a small part of me thinks that's wishful thinking...

 

song that gets you pumped

 

 

What is your game day ritual?

 

-Wake up and shower with Irish Spring soap

-Get whatever needs to be done - done

-Hit LCBO for some fine stouts

-Prep whatever the special meal of the day is

-Shower close to game time and gear up with a fresh outfit (been rocking the UA stuff wifey got me for my birthday) and lucky camouflage boxer briefs (we're going to war)

-Pace relentlessly until the pregame starts a half hour before kick off

-Sit in the same seat...watching upstairs in living room (despite the fact I have a sweet Notre Dame man cave downstairs - we are undefeated up there...

-Have to have one of my homebrew coconut stouts at kickoff...

-I hold a mouthful of stout during crucial plays and throughout commercial breaks (I know, weird...but I have to...)

-Switch to my ND 59Fifty when things aren't going well (you guys are welcome for that late game TD Saturday...)

-Obsessively scour for high resolution images for hours after the game

 

Beside DD if you could only view one other ND site it would be?

 

Don't go to any others especially since southbendtribune.com started copy protecting their images...

 

What other sports teams do you follow?

 

Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leafs...used to follow Texas Longhorns baseball and football but too committed to the Irish to bother these days...I was a huge Spike Owen and Roger Clemens fan growing up...have thousands of dollars in Clemens memorabilia framed beautifully that I can't bring myself to hang...

 

Does Grace come back and contribute on the field this year?

 

Sadly, no; he won't contribute. But I'd bet dollars to donuts he sees the field on Senior Day... He was the heir to Te'o's throne...would have loved for him to come in and destroy it...

 

lassie or rin tin tin?

 

Neither, I was all about George the St. Bernard:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvLkKvfB2zU

 

Did you have to Google that last question?

 

No.

 

Who would play you in a DD movie?

Since I was 14 people have been telling me I look like Roger Clemens and recently a fatter Chris Pratt so...one of them?

 

What is something we'd be surprised to know about you?

 

That I am an avid horseradish gardener. That I collect Rankin-Bass Christmas ornaments. That I have obsessive compulsive disorder and eat food off my plate in very particular order rarely (and I mean RARELY) jumping from item to item - I eat things in order of least appealing to most...so I'll eat all my peas, then all my mashed potatoes, then all my turkey, then all my stuffing this Sunday for Canadian Thanksgiving.

 

Finish this sentence regarding ND, I should be slapped for predicting________

 

...that Chiro's wife will one day leave him for me...and my wife...THREESOME!!! Or that or Sligo dreams about me...

 

You will stop rooting for ND when?

 

When I'm dead...though I often wondered if I would survive a Penn State-esque scandal in South Bend...

 

Thanks

 

That was fun!!!!

Nice work Rocket !!! You are cracking me up. I have to say that food in order thing is crazy! So if you got a cheeseburger and fries you would eat all of one first?

 

Yep, fries would be consumed first...same with a fine steak dinner... Baked potato until it is gone...then mushrooms...then steak...

 

I'm up? Let's unravel the riddle: Parsehgian's Theorem...

Rocketsan nominated me. Mystery solved?

 

 

Did you attend ND ?

No.

 

When did you become a fan?

First game I remember watching was 1992 Sugar Bowl vs. Florida

My dad was a fan his entire life.

 

Who is your favorite player? Past and Present.

Too many to pick one. Loved watching Clausen throw the football. Loved watching Golden Tate. Golson is super exciting to watch right now.

I'm just a fan of the team. want all the players to do well.

 

Will all the frozen 5 return this year?

seems unlikely but I have no clue.

 

song that gets you pumped

changes every now and then. right now it is Centuries by Fall Out Boy when I'm lifting. Was a couple volbeat songs prior to that and breaking skin by non-point. but metallica, AC/DC Shoot to thrill/Thunderstruck or Guns and Roses Welcome to the Jungle are classics. But all those songs are on my workout playlist among others. There's also a "Why we fall" motivational song that I love to listen to.

 

What is your game day ritual?

Watch the game. Usually at work, at the game or working at the game.

 

Beside DD if you could only view one other ND site it would be?

To tell you the truth, DD is the only ND site I go to. With the suspension stuff I have read NDNation and Irish Envy for news. I will go with Jim Small's ND blog.

 

What other sports teams do you follow?

Cubs, although they really pissed me off after getting swept in back-to-back series a few years ago. def a love hate there right now.

 

Does Grace come back and contribute on the field this year?

I tried telling people back in June that Grace wouldn't play at all this year according to a staff member.

 

lassie or rin tin tin?

Hooch, from turner and hooch.

 

Did you have to Google that last question?

hell no.

 

Who would play you in a DD movie?

I have been told I look like Brett Favre, Sunshine from Remember the Titans and in a restaurant a couple weeks ago, an employee there told me I look like Thor. LOL.

 

What is something we'd be surprised to know about you?

That I'm not "midwestguy"

 

Finish this sentence regarding ND, I should be slapped for predicting that Stanford would cover against ND. But I really only did this to put the game in a win-win situation for me. However, Saturday morning I actually bet on the Irish.

 

You will stop rooting for ND when?

never of course. I don't think there will be any differing answers here.
