South Bend Experience

Maybe we should to the same stuff. You guys sound like a bunch of UVA fans.

Those ruffians played loud music. Have they no decorum?

Waaaaaaaah!
 
When I went in 2007 I remember thinking that the campus was nothing special, and that people must freak out over it because pretty campuses are uncommon up there unlike the south. But this time I got a better sense of it and I admit it's pretty great.

Tailgating in the south lot was a lot of fun. People set up like a NFL tailgate. LOTS of booze, not as much food. Fans were friendly and would jaw with you a little but all in good fun. Fans we talked to after the game said they just don't see the point in making it a bad place to visit, and would much rather be thought of as hospitable. "It's only football." Wha...?

A GT and ND fan got in each others' faces during the game because two ND fans (one with us) kept high-fiving over the GT fans. But within a few minutes they were bro-ing down and new bffs.

Definitely a good time. I have a good Chicago/ND hookup so I'll go back again. Good seeing a couple Stingtalkers at the end of the tailgate.

We were right next to said ND fan. I switched places with my wife so I instead of her were next to him. He ended up being pretty cool.
 
We sat next to some drunk hoosier trash that evolved into decent ND fans once the sloppy drunk wore off. Don't see that happen at NC State/Miami/etc.
 
I was surrounded by very civil ND fans. Only heard one profanity the entire game, and that was directed at one of their players for taking a pass interference (or defensive holding) penalty.
 
Would love to see more photos! So there were no vender people yelling "icccce cold coke, get yo peanuts!"?
