SO..

I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY..

THAT MY FAVORITE COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM IS NOTRE DAME..

& MY LATE-DAD WAS A NOTRE DAME FAN..

& HOW LAST NIGHT'S "GAME"..

(& THE BUILD-UP TO-IT)..

WAS REMINDING ME OF "HIM"..

WELL I "FORGOT"

"ANOTHER" MEMORABLE NOTRE DAME "EXPERIENCE"..WITH MY DAD..

2002..

I FLEW HIM..& MY MOM..OUT TO GO TO THE NOTRE DAME-USC GAME..

A GAME WE'D "BOTH"
ALWAYS WATCHED "TOGETHER"
ON T-V..WHEN I WAS GROWING-UP..

& "HE"
WENT-OUT
& BOUGHT "ALL" OF US..
(ME..MY WIFE..OUR 3-KIDS)..
THESE "GREEN" NOTRE DAME SHIRTS..

& WE "ALL" WORE THEM TO THE GAME..

WELL..

IT WAS THE ABSOLUTE-"WORST" EXPERIENCE-"EVER"..

WHEN WE GOT TO OUR SEATS..

(IN THE "MIDDLE" OF ALL THESE S-C FANS)..

"LOTS" OF DIRTY-LOOKS..

& WE COULD "HEAR" THE PEOPLE "BEHIND"-US "TALKING"..

(&..IT "WASN'T"-THAT-"LET'S GIVE THE NOTRE DAME FAMILY SOME "GOOD-NATURED GRIEF"..

IT WAS.."LET'S "SCARE" THE "LIVING-DAYLIGHTS" OUT OF THESE RUBES FROM BAKERSFIELD..& INDIANA")..

OF "COURSE"..

USC "WON" THAT-NIGHT..

& AS WE'RE WALKING TO OUR CAR..

"EVERY"-INEBRIATED USC FAN..

FROM 8-TO-80..

WAS "IN"

OUR FACE..

IT WAS "SCARY"..

SO..I HAVEN'T WORN "THAT"
T-SHIRT "MUCH" OVER THE YEARS..

WELL..

NOTRE DAME OPENED "THIS" SEASON IN DUBLIN, IRELAND..

& THE GAME STARTED AT 6AM..

ON A "SATURDAY"..

SO.."I" GOT UP..TO "WATCH" THE IRISH..

& I WAS DIGGING THROUGH MY DRESSER DRAWERS..FOR SOME NOTRE DAME GEAR TO "WEAR"..

(BECAUSE WHAT "I" WEAR
"HELPS" MY-TEAM "WIN"--
"IT'S ONLY CRAZY IF IT "DOESN'T" WORK!)..

& I CAME-ACROSS "THAT"-GREEN T-SHIRT..MY DAD HAD BOUGHT..
"10"-YEARS AGO..

& I WORE IT..

& THEY WON..

& I WORE IT FOR THE "NEXT"-GAME..

& THEY WON..

& I WORE IT FOR THE NEXT 10-GAMES..

& THEY "WON" THEM ALL..

"&"..

I WORE IT LAST NIGHT..

COVERED WITH STAINS..

(SALSA..PIZZA SAUCE..CHOCOLATE)..

& DOG HAIR..

(BECAUSE I "WOULDN'T" LET MY WIFE "WASH"-IT)..

& NOTRE DAME "LOST"..

BY "28"-POINTS..

& MY WIFE "SAYS" TO ME..

"YOU-KNOW THAT WHAT YOU'RE WEARING
HAS "NO"-EFFECT ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS GAME"..

KOO-KOO..KOO-KOO..

SHE'S "OBVIOUSLY" GOING THROUGH "THE-CHANGE"--

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW "BADLY" THEY WOULD HAVE LOST

IF I "HADN'T" WORN MY LUCKY SHIRT?
