Notre Dame vs Pittsburgh

Yesterday, John and I went to the Notre Dame - Pittsburgh game. Before I tell you about our day, I want to give you a little info to help make sense of some things that happened.

1. A couple years ago I got a pair of ND socks and I normally wear them on game days.  After this years first game & win, I told John that as long as ND kept winning, I wouldn't wash my socks and I'd keep wearing them during the games.  SO, as of last weeks game I had been wearing these socks for 8 games.  ALSO, during these games, if they were losing and my feet were under a blanket, I'd uncover my feet so that my socks would show.....and they would just happen to win!

2. Those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile may remember that I admitted to being a reality tv junkie, AND that one of my favorite shows is "The Little Couple".

 

Ok, now I can tell you about our day (yesterday) at Notre Dame.  We went early because we wanted to do a couple things there before the game.  John wanted to see the trumpets play inside the golden dome and we were also going to John's bosses tailgate party. 

After parking in someone yard for $30 we started walking towards the stadium parking lot for the tailgate party.  On the way we saw this crazy car:

Then once in the stadium parking lot we see Bill from The Little Couple ! ! !  He was just walking thru the crowd with another guy. I stopped him and told him how much I loved his show. I talked to him for a couple minutes and John took our picture together. He was really nice.

 

 

We then made our way to the tailgate party for free food and drinks!  Someone there told us about how the band plays before the game on the stairs of some building, so we made the walk to see that.  I'll remind you now that the temps were below 40 degrees at this point but with all the walking it wasn't too bad and it was suppose to reach 41 by game time.  After listening to the band we made our way to the golden dome and saw the trumpets:

After that we made our way inside the stadium and found our seats.  With the warmth built up from all the walking, I wasn't cold during the first half of the game, but I wasn't happy with how poorly the Irish were playing, and felt we might be sitting in the cold only to see them lose their first game of the season.

After half time, the sun was going down and I was getting cold and it really didn't look good for the Irish.  I was starting to regret even going to the game....after all I could watch them lose in the comfort of my home and not be sitting on a hard bench shivering to death!

Then I felt a nudge and John said "Take off your boots so they can see your socks".  Is he crazy?? I'm freezing and he wants me to take off my boots!?!  After a few minutes I actually did take off one boot and guess what?  The Irish came from behind and tie the game.  I put my boot back on and after 3 over times the Irish won 29-26.  I think someone should inform Brian Kelly of what I do for his team!  I can't believe they are 9-0 now.  It's been a long time. 

So that was our Saturday...I think I'll stay inside today!!
