We spent another invigorating (cold and rainy) but fun day at Notre Dame ('ND') on Saturday. It started early in the day with tailgating (a form of car boot party in the carpark alongside the college stadium where the car boots (trunks) are full of beer and food and everyone stands around, catches up with friends and generally has a merry time) followed by the game at 3:30pm against Boston College ('BC'). I understand that BC has had the better record in recent games and over their history it stood at 9 games a piece - so important bragging rights were at stake.
This was also Eoin's first ND game and he was well up for the partying and took a keen interest in the game (for which the sun kindly came out!). He wasn't too happy when ND were down 13 to 16 with about 10 minutes to go but he was soon in better spirits when ND scored a touchdown and survived some tense final minutes to win 20 to 16. He also really enjoyed the half time entertainment provided by the ND school marching band.

Have you taken a close look at the picture of the three of you outside the stadium? Eoin looks like maybe he wasn't in the best shape after all of that tailgating.
