One Foot Down ND - Mich 2012 rumored to be at night



Internet rumor, so take it with a large grain of salt. However per Mgoblog: http://mgoblog.com/content/rumormongering-nd-night-maize-thats-actually-maize

Night night night night. I'm hearing next year's game at Notre Dame will be at night. Given Michigan's stated desire for a night game per year and the Big Ten's prohibition against having them in November, we could see a large number of M-ND matchups from here on out in primetime.

I'm a big fan of these night games, wonder if Swarbrick is looking to alternate USC/UM as an annual night game? Part of me selfishly would like to see a late Nov. game at night something about snow under the lights that seems cool, but our schedule doesn't usually lend itself to having strong opponents come to ND at the end of the year.

One Foot Down Who are you? Why are you here? The commentariat meet & greet thread

It seems we have a pretty solid critical mass of folks lurking around this space, so I figured we ought to have a thread for people to get to know their fellow commenters a bit better (or our friendly site overlords are of course welcome as well!)

So tell me some things about you:

1) Why are you here? Alum? Subway? Troll? Other team fan just here for the 'freude / CFB banter?

My answer: alum 

edit: posts below have prompted me to add that I'm a legacy via my dad. Mom went to SMC, 5 of my moms 7 siblings went to ND or SMC.

 

2) If you answered alum what year? If subway how did you become a fan? If troll just post your favorite troll picture. If other team fan tell us what school etc.

My answer: 2009

3) Where you from originally? Where do you live now?

My answer: all over (Cincinnati, Toronto, Minneapolis, Cedar Rapids) and currently in Cincinnati

4) Give me your 3 favorite blogs that arent OFD

My answers:

Blue-Gray Sky (gone but not forgotten)

EDSBS

Fangraphs (yes baseball nerd alert)

5) Lowest moment as a fan?

All of 2007, but if I have to get specific it would be being at the Michigan game with their fans feeling sorry for us, and of course having a student section seat to the first loss to Navy in 43 years

6) Whats you're Brian Kelly approval rating at? Why? How sharp is your pitchfork?

I thought this question would be easier when I wrote it but lets go with:

75% - I think its safe to say we haven't come along as fast as I had thought/hoped we would, and some of the losses to teams like USF/Tulsa/Navy are still immensely frustrating. Howeva I still like a lot of what we are seeing and it feels like we are getting closer to building the program back to where it can be regularly top20. 

My pitchfork is not even sharp enough for Craig James to use as a murder weapon on 5 hookers @ SMU (allegedly) (#Rememberthe5). In all seriousness I can't think of anything worse for the program than to have people lighting a hot seat after 21 games of BK's tenure. 

 

7) Anything I forgot to ask that you think we should all know
