Is It Friday Yet? - And Getting Amped Up for Utah

I woke up this morning super excited about it being Friday and the start of spring football...yeah, needless to say (but I will anyway), when I realized it was Thursday, I was quite disappointed. On the plus side, less than a month until Blue Gold!

A quick link this morning, via The Wiz of Odds - it appears that people in Utah find northern Indiana to be an enticing November vacation destination, as Utah has way more requests for tickets to the ND-Utah game than they have actual tickets. But my fave part is when the school hits up their donors for more money:
"This is turning into the biggest road game in the history of the program," Knuth said. "There are a lot of good things going on with the program and people are excited."
Fans who are worried about getting tickets to the game can still better their chances by donating more money before the May 15 deadline, Knuth said.
Always nice to see fans of other teams being the ones hit up for the bigger donation.

Swarbrick's Conference Comments Posted Without Comment

Swarbrick's comments on ND joining a conference for football, as reported by ESPN.

Soldier Field, Here Come the Irish!

It appears that the Irish will be playing at Soldier Field in a couple of seasons.

Why is my first thought upon hearing this to wonder whether they will be serving beer at the concessions?
