Notre Dame vs. Miami Gameday

“Wake up, It’s Gameday,” I told myself at 5:30 a.m. Despite my pessimism of the Canes of late, I was still hopeful, energetic and optimistic about a victory in South Bend. We got back into town rather early after a late night in a local bar watching the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians.  My godfather, a Notre Dame season ticket holder, and I did not know many people, because we are both natives of Memphis, TN.  That didn’t matter. We both were there for this experience

The impressive thing about Notre Dame was a number of events were held leading up to game time. Ushers handed pamphlets with events such as a “Game Day Run Club”, “Gameday Breakfast”, questions and answers with Notre Dame’s Director of Athletics, a fan fest, and a pre-game Concert. I’m scrolling through this list, and I asking Notre Dame fans, “Are all these events common for a game day weekend?”. We only participated in the fan fest, because there were places to sit and televisions to watch the 12:00 o’clock games.

The weather leading up to Gametime was a breezy 70 degrees with clouds in the sky. The ‘Canes got off the bus looking focused and ready to go. Notre Dame and Miami walked into the stadium at the same time which was not planned. Brian Kelly had a scarlet face of fury when this occurred. Game time was near.
