Well, are you? Ready, that is?
I am. Ready, that is. I have a pair of tickets to the opening game, courtesy of some lawyer dude in Chicago. It turns out that your don can find more on the internet than stupid YouTube clips of asswipe politicians. Even without a Facebook or Twitter account, I somehow manage to make a few useful contacts from time to time. Go figure.
As an added bonus, my guest for the trip will be my old buddy Reverand Dan. He hasn't been able to travel in recent years, on account of his ailing parents. Well, ole Mr. Pedro went on to join his wife in the Great Beyond not too long ago. In a perverse sort of circumstance, the loss of one's parents apparently provides one with previously unrealized free time. In other words - the rev's dad died recently, so now he has all the time in the world to make his first trip to South Bend for a football game. And I'm gonna take him there. This should be interesting.
Less than two weeks, mofos. Are you ready?
ADDENDUM: My tickets are lined up for a few other games as well, but the game at Michigan on September 10th is still up in the air. Suggestions for how to gain admission for less than an arm and a leg are still welcome.
