I was 17 years old once.

The night that I watched Notre Dame beat Florida State in '93 was pretty incredible.  My girl that night wasn't quite up to speed, but I got a pretty decent tug out of her.  More importantly, the Irish were the frontrunners for the national title.  Those Jesuits from Chestnut Hill went and screwed it all up a week later, but at least we had our night.

It's been a long time since then. (19 years? Fuck.)

It feels good to be one of the big dogs again though.  It really does. 

Even though the Tigers are about to get swept out of the World Series, at least I have my Irish.  I'll take the wins where I can get them.  The people around here hate Notre Dame and love the Tigers.  I love Notre Dame and love the Tigers.  What can I say?  I'm a lover, not a fighter.

So obviously I can't write the script, but  you can bet your ass that I'm enjoying the ride.  This football season has been fun.  It's going to be more fun, and then it's going to be more stressful.  Just keep winning, guys.  For fuck's sake, please just keep winning.

We'll deal with the Tigers next year.
