Football, the real kind

Last week I tried to see the ND home opener at a Canadian sports bar, but was thwarted by the inordinate number of "football" matches that were not football at all in the proper sense of the term.

So for this week's game against Michigan, I did my research much more carefully. There can be no mistakes when it comes to the ND-Michigan game.

I found a wonderful website called "Allomatch.com" that keeps track of all of the sports bars in Paris and what they will be showing each night. The bars get reviews based on how consisent they are and I found one showing the ND game with 4 stars, which means they've shown 500+ games with out making a mistake in their schedule. This bar also already indicated that at least 1 Michigan fan will be in attendance... pitty the fool.

Even this was not enough to fully convince me that I would be able to see this game (I was concerned because the bar's website said they had Dance nights on Saturdays), so I contacted them through their website and just received the following email back:

Hi Julie,

the website needs to be updated.

We will be showing Notre-Dame/Michigan this saturday.

See you then!

Wos Bar Team!

And they will indeed see me then, which is very, very soon!!

GO IRISH! BEAT WOLVERINES!!
