Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Once in a very long while an opportunity comes along which is too good to let pass by. I have been a diehard fan of the University of Notre Dame for all of my 50+ years on this planet. I did not attend as a student; I have never been to the campus; I have only and always cheered on their athletic teams from a distance.
This will be a personal journey for me. If you have ever been passionate about anything in life, you will be able to relate.
This page will provide the links to the various articles I will write on our home web site on my adventures planning and experiencing this week in South Bend, Indiana during the height of football season. Each article will have a link at the end to the next one.
In the future I hope this to look back on the collection of articles I write as well as pictures & hopefully videos I post herein during my week in South Bend as a souvenir.
If you are not a Notre Dame fan, then perhaps it will cause you to relive your own passionate experiences in your own past. A life without passion, is a life without excitement.
And now, the journey begins.

I read your post about alums vs. subalums on NDN 1-31-09.
Strongly agree with your premise. Not only are alums in general more negative about the priests, players and coaches at ND, but it more so on NDN than it is on Mike Frank’s site:”Irish Eyes”
It has always been that way in the 10 years that I have been reading NDN-and it is not likely to change IMHO
Peace

Hi John,
Thanks for this. I’ll have to check out the free area on Irish Eyes.
There’s so much negativity in this world one needs a break from it from time to time…even if it is only to ‘drink the koolaid’.
Curious, John, are you an alum or subway alum?
All The Best,
Dan

Hi Kelly,
Sure, fell free to do so.
We had such a great time.
While the campus, etc., etc. of the University is wonderful and unique, there is also sites to see within South Bend itself.
Cheer (Cheer
