Happy Football Lottery Day!
It was a good day. A happy day. To begin with, I got a voicemail from Ryan saying that his ticket application had just come in the mail. You have to understand how unexpected that was, because both Ryan and I turned in our donations a little late this year and I honestly wasn't too hopeful about getting any order forms in the mail. But I opened my mailbox today and hallelujah, there it was.
Now the real challenge begins. Which games should I attend? If I lived a little closer to The Bend I would gladly echo Ryan's response and say, "Well all of them, of course." But alas, I am here in Sunny SoCal, and this distance means that at best I can only hope to make one game a reality. What's worse, I'll be missing the game that's in my own backyard at SC since it's on Thanksgiving weekend. Could this be the year when good ol' Charlie Weiss breaks my 5-year losing streak? I really hope so. I'm beginning to think I'm the one with bad luck since I haven't been to a winning game since graduation. That's five years of flying back to games without a single win to my attendance record. It hurts.
So to all of my family members in the Midwest, please let me know if I should try to order tickets for you. Dad, it's almost that time of year where you need to trade in your U of M alumni card...

Trade in my U of M alumni card?
Never!
Besides, I have a ND shirt that cost me big bucks. I'll wear it even when it's worn out, but my U of M degree stays as well.
Haha. Of course...just giving you a hard time!
Boy, you repond quickly to these posts! I'm working on a slideshow of your trip out here, so hopefully I'll be able to get that on the site soon.

I'm all about the big games. UCLA baby. They denied me, USC accepted me so I don't dislike them that much.
I like being in these postings... I think that there should be an obligatory "Ryan" mentioning per 1.4 postings. I turned in my card today- applied for every home game...here's hoping I get a few of the games. Talked to Lisa as well who is applying to the vast majority of games.
