News: Justin Thomas has not seen everything

This is an article from Salt Lake City about the trip. A couple interesting comments from CPJ and CTR about previous overseas games. I guess the folks in Ireland were surprised that ND had any chance against Navy:

"It was really kind of weird," Johnson said after Monday's practice. "We were over there for a couple of days, and it was all 'How could a tiny school like Notre Dame play the whole Navy?' Fans thought they were the big underdog. It was kind of funny."

Jesus, the team isn't leaving until tonight, arriving in the AM. Most probably won't sleep well on the flight, then have to check in to hotel, eat lunch and practice. After that it's nothing but eating, entertainment and sight seeing on a bus tour. I hope we're ready come Saturday... :chad:

EDIT: BC is already there...

Hype Train: Disengage
 
I was just over in the UK last year. You adjust by day 3. Which is Saturday for the guys.

Arriving Thursday morning and having a noon practice sounds like hell. I'm sure they'll sleep like babies Thursday night, will rest all day Friday, and have another night on Friday to get on UK time. By Saturday morning they'll be fine.
 
Sleep on the plane? Easy:

Gentlemen, please turn your attention to Dr. Shaft and his Def Bods lecture.

Everyone will be sleeping like babies in about 15 minutes.
 
I think the jet lag is going to be murder on our guys. To get ready to play at 12:30 PM in Dublin, they will need to wake up at around 6AM Dublin time which is 1AM EST which means to have gotten 8 hrs of sleep, they will have to hit the hay at 5PM EST on Friday night.

I don't think our guys are going to sleep at 5PM EST Friday night in Dublin, Ireland.

Now that I really think about it, this is a pretty tough assignment.

Now if I could only figure out how to Big Cry my own post to deprive the rest of you guys the pleasure.
 
We practice in heat. BC will be adjusted to the cooler weather. It will feel fresh and new to us. We roll.

Yeah they may be fine as far as "adjusted to the time zone." But will they be prepared to play football? I think they probably will, but just in case we lose, I'm already claiming the "we waited to late to travel" excuse. :biggrin:
 
Fall camp seems to have gone well. We aren't taking a cargo plane. So now jet lag/rest/when BC arrived is the new butt hurt. Butt hurt is an intrinsic property of GT fans.

Purdue is buying their own personal cargo plane, I hear.
 
Man you guys are a bunch of freakin' babies. It is simple to get 3-4 hours of sleep on the flight. They'll have their adrenaline pumping when they hit the ground over there, get a good workout in, go to bed and get a solid night's sleep. Out and about early Friday, and they are locked in.
Piece 'o Cake.

It makes sense to me. If you get one big enough you can practice during the flight. Or set up beds, build it out with some class rooms so you can get some study halls or classes done.

Yep, 18 to 20 year olds display this rudimentary level of discipline and forward thinking all the time.

Why can't you just leave your hair on fire, coit? It was fine.
 
It's not rocket science.
