ndobney Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I think this is great. We should look into making something like this a tradition. Playing week 0 has its advantages extra week of practice extra bye week with is huge being a conference as physical as the big 10 especially if you're a spread team. This also helps with recruiting you get to play international ever year doesnt have to always be the Ireland game. Play in London or Berlin or ever Australia. Plus it grows your brand internationally which could give us a big advantage in the future. Football certainly isn't as big internationally as basketball or baseball but maybe someday. We have always been ahead of the curve on this stuff could potentially over time give us an advantage recruiting international players. Heck let's play some games in samoa. 1 Quote Link to comment

But there was no disdain at all - it was a joke based on your wording in the prior post. Secondly, we all appreciate your insight in this thread, it is more informative and valuable than most HB posts. Kudos to you sir. Now calm down and buy me another Guinness. 1 Quote Link to comment

I appreciate that, Ulty, and take it back. I will admit that I was partly affected by past experiences here that haven't been pleasant. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, I'm a few generations removed from my great-great-grandmother who emigrated from Ireland. So I suppose things are a bit Anglicized. I'll try to remember the correct phrase moving forward. I have made deposit to go to the game in 2021. Should be fun. GO BIG RED! 1 Quote Link to comment
Notre Dame Joe Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would think a game in Berlin would better suit Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

I almost added a Stripes line to my response. Why are you posting a GIF with "I don't care" in it if you do? That's rhetorical. I just don't get answering someone else's mail like a jerk.

I had all of one survey-depth Irish Gaelic class or I'd be just as confused, brother. I might see you over there because it sounds like my dad wants to go maybe... GBR! 1 Quote Link to comment
