As I posted earlier, I went to South Bend to go check out a Notre Dame football game against Syracuse. Some weird things happened there, not least of which was the game itself. Before the game, we checked out the campus. At the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, we spotted one Norm Coleman. Interestingly enough, I have never seen Norm in Minnesota. But go to Indiana, and there he is. I believe his daughter goes to school there.
Anyway, we went to the College Football Hall of Fame, which was a cool place. It doesn't look like a lot of work has gone into the place lately (the video highlighting the collegiate experience featured, in its most recent footage, Danny Kanell), but it was pretty cool nonetheless.
Also found in Indiana, the greatest newspaper name in the world, The Elkhart Truth. I mean, how do you compete with the truth? The Mishawaka Fabrication? Please!
Anyway, we had a blast down there, and even snuck in a quick trip into Michigan, where we had a beer at a great place called the Sauk Trail Bar & Grille, in a little town called Union.
The Notre Dame experience is something that I really think most sports fans should do at least once in their life, even if you don't like them.

The Mishawaka Fabrication?
Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Very nice. Very, very nice. Me, I like the Terre Haute Prevaricator and the Ft. Wayne Canardian, but you win the prize, good sir.
Yeah, that one came to me while enjoying some home fries at Bob Evans. We really need Bob Evans to come north.
