Hi Guys I’m new here. So here are some miscellaneous facts about myself:

1) Chronic Lurker: Starting in mid 2009, checking several times a day to read posts

 

2) Reason For Not Joining Sooner: All the crude comments and people being overly critical of others opinions made me question if it was worth joining

 

3) Reason Now to Join: Hard alcohol- just kidding. I guess I’ve read things on here these days and thought - I can’t sound worse than that guy...

 

4) My Notre Dame Connections:

-I was raised an Irish fan in Southeast GA (from 1980 -2000) by my old man who followed the Irish from back in the 40’s.

-I was a Certified Chef who worked in Notre Dame Food Service from 2000-2004

-I got married on campus at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart (the first marriage)

-Older Brother got his PHD from ND

 

5) Strangest Notre Dame Training Drill I Observed While Working at ND:

Willingham using the eastside of the South Dining Hall to run the team through drills and plays in helmets, full pads and cleats when there was a thunderstorm outside one afternoon (During Lunch time.)

 

6) Largest Douche Coach That I Observed Being a Douche Several Times In Person: Bob Davie

 

7) Coolest One on One Meeting I Had at Notre Dame When the University Was Being Unethical As An Employer:

I called up his office and got a one on one meeting with Fr. Ted up in his office at the top of the library.

Fr. Ted is a great man who came to bat for my wife (at that time ) and I. Needless to say people listened, and it got resolved within hours. This happened long after he had been retired. He still had serious pull

 

Strangest Recruiting Plug I Ever Made: I later moved to Tempe and ran a store for the largest local supplement chain in the Arizona. I worked around the corner from Corona del Sol High School and sold Andrus Peat bodybuilding supplements in 2011 on a weekly basis and tried to steer him to Notre Dame, it didn’t pay off he signed with Stanford

 

9) Who I Agree With Most Often on Domer Domain: OklahomaIrish and FaithInIrishForever

 

10) Finally My Username -Mixinirishkoolaid: Comes from starting the season not only drinking the kool aid, but I mix it up and pass it around in the red solo cups filled up with excitement and optimism to all of my Notre Dame friends. Not surprising if the season tanks, the kool aid goes bad and it turns into the Jonestown Massacre. At least until signing day…

I live back in Georgia with my wife and kids. Pi$$ing off all the SEC fans and loving it. GO IRISH!

welcome to the $hit$how......

Thanks Man! It's great to be here.

The circus admission is free. Plenty of freaks to see here. Welcome.

Welcome aboard! It's a wild ride.

Glad to see you made it past the moat! The oft played Crazy Train song aptly fits here. All aboard...

Welcome aboard!

Thanks Guy's. I was probably one of the worst lurkers out there for years, but this where the healing begins. The first step is admitting you have a problem...

Welcome to the board. Please accept my advanced apology for my behavior. :tea:

You got it!

Crudeness I can't help you with...although I have cut my swearing down to 1/5th of what it was at home...

 

Opinions are fierce here because we are all loyal sons (and a few daughters)...we all bleed blue and gold and at the end of the day, while some of these guys are batsh!t crazy, we're all Irish fans through and through.

 

So, welcome...post freely and get ready for spring ball...

You realize he knows fully what to expect from you? He has been lurking for years.

Oh I know we all love the Irish. My family is off the deep end. I defended the Irish growing up in SEC world. And Georgia beating ND in the '81 Sugar Bowl never helped. I hate the dawgs and all their redneck fans.

Welcome and be prepared...

I understand how loyal we are as fans. I defended being an Irish fan my entire childhood in SEC land of Georgia. The '81 Sugar Bowl didn't help. I hate the dawgs and their fans.

Welcome and be prepared...

 

Right on Cali!!

You realize he knows fully what to expect from you? He has been lurking for years.

 

You know that's true. I've been lurking for years. I know you, I know all of you...

If it was one of my posts that made you think "I can't be worse that guy", well screw you.

 

Otherwise, welcome aboard. Cool story about the ND connections, feel free to share more stories, they are great to read.

God help us - he agrees with Okie most...
