Planning an ND Game Weekend: Donkey Style
If we knew nothing else about the particulars for getting together for an ND home football game weekend, and had to guess on a schedule, it would go something like this:
Friday
4:00pm--Tony explains to his new boss that he has a dentist's appointment and bolts through the backdoors of P&G and into his car, where his packed duffle-bag awaits. He pulls around the block to find Kevin Shannon waiting patiently, smoking a pack of cigs and popping back pills in anticipation of the 4 hour drive from Dayton to South Bend.
8:00pm--Diebold's taxi service arrives at the Michiana Regional Transportation Supercomplex to pick up Big Gay Joey, who is tired from wrestling with an air marshall who wouldn't let him physically remove the lady with the good window seat as the plane flew overhead of Notre Dame's campus.
8:30pm--Kevin, Tony, and Joey store their bags at Mama L's, then call Steph and sweetly offer to let her drive them over to CJ's Pub.
10:00pm--around the fourth pitcher, Spider arrives. When asked about the whereabouts of his bag, he explains that he threw it over the fence in the back before he came in, and he'd be right back after retrieving it and apologizing to the old lady he hit in the head on the toss.
12:30pm--Kevin wants to start chest-bumping the off-duty SBPD and former ND players in the bar. Decide to leave CJ's while our sobriety and safety are secure. Hadji the cabdriver drops us back in Mishiwaker.
Saturday:
7:00am--Joey looks up at his alarm clock and shuts it off.
8:00am--no one has moved yet. Spider farts loud enough to wake the dead.
9:00am--Showers kick on, and the smell of eggs and bacon floats through the house. Soon all are decked out in ND gear and upstairs eating. The first bottled beer is cracked at 9:50am--a new late morning record for a football Saturday at this old age.
10:00am--Papa L is good enough to give Kevin a ride to Stephs, and the rest to the tailgating parking lots.
11:00am--we hang with some old O'Neill guys, drink some Busch Light, meet up with Bo and Rhiana, make him shotgun a beer for being late (and gay), do a quick walk onto campus for some brats, wonder at all the construction, wonder at all the students tailgating like champions, hit the JACC for the john.
12:00pm--See Rob Roy--do a shotgun of Natty Light for old-time's sake. Dribble copious amounts of beer all over the place and look for towels. Spider gets carded by the NDPD. More peeing at the JACC.
1:00pm--moved onto really good tailgate beer--Mickey's and Shiner Bock. Shots of Jamison before gametime.
1:45pm--Blessed are these late games. We grab two full ones and walk towards the gates.
2:00pm--6:00pm--watch ND stomp on (fill in the blank). Depending on the hot weather, stay until the end and sing the alma mater.
6:30pm--Rhiana offers to drive everyone home--nobody disagrees.
7:00pm--Let's go swimming!
7:30pm--Bo and Rhiana talk to Mama and Papa L about their new baby and life in the South. Tony gets a quick shirt on the face nap. Joey and Spider drink the good beer and hottub to get clean.
8:00pm--the Saturday night game plays on CBS while the group chows on chicken fingers and corn on the cob.
9:00pm--Mama Leniski drops us at Steph's. A few quick rounds of a$$hole and we're back out the door after Spider starts screaming, "Let's GO!"
10:30pm--Holding down the fort at Corby's. Really freakin' crowded, so we bolt for Club 23. Remember that Club is no longer around. Decide to buy a case of beer and drop it with the guys currently living at the Drunken Donkey. Tell them that they will never be as cool as us.
12:00am--finally get into the Backer. True to form, Bo drops his credit card at the bar. LITs! Grime! Sweat! Bon Jovi! WEEEEEE!
2:00am--pop out the door. No Kevin, no Steph, they left awhile ago. Joey, Tony, Bo, and Rhiana get back to Mishawaka somehow.
Sunday: rest, recoup, recline, catch flights/car rides home. Look forward to the next time.
