[QUOTE="GT18YJ, post: 436601, member: 1373"] Dislike immensely - 1975 - We flew to south bend, had our 45 minute jog around in the stadium, then bused over to Elkhart, Indiana where we stayed at an "old-style" Holiday Inn Motel that had been completely covered by a roof. There was a putt putt course next to the pool that was all under the roof. That night, several of us were playing putt putt (Kim King was playing with us) and, because we had a meeting and dinner at 6:00, I asked this "70ish" year old lady standing next to us what time it was. She looked at me and said, "You go to hell!" Wow. The next day, the buses are headed back to the stadium and we were passed by a pick up with a deer tied to their hood (they're in a pick up, why strap him to the hood?) When the truck was even with the lead bus, the truck eased over on us a couple of times and then took off. Our ISP escort moved ahead and pulled them over. By the time we got to them, the ISP were pulling them out the windows. The bus driver told us that nobody liked nd fans, especially the ISP. This was the Rudy game but Tech was so depleted by injuries that it should not have been as close as it was. In the stadium, I really admired Colonel Hardison's composure and ability to ignore the nd fans behind our bench. I don't know why they felt the need to harass him like they did. 1977 - Flew into south bend and went directly to the stadium. They met us at the gate and told us that, because of the forecast, there was a tarp on the field and we would not be able to use it. They said we could wait an hour until after nd's practice and then use their practice field. Pepper told them that we weren't waiting and we changed into our sweats and chased the students away from the grassed areas in front of the library (TD Jesus). Nothing really organized, just some touch football and offensive linemen taking turns being quarterback or receiver. The next day, as our bus pulls in at the stadium, a 75ish year old security guard is banging on the side of the bus and giving us the finger at the windows. I don't want to talk about what happened in the stadium but several times when they scored, we got the same gesture from their sideline. In 1974, Ara seemed straight up and nice. They downgraded in class when they hired Devine. [/QUOTE]
