I lived in England for three years and drove a stick shift. I admit it took some getting used to. When my wife and I went to Ireland last summer, I said the hell with this, I’m too old now, and rented an automatic.The only scary thing was my car rental was a stick shift. Shifting gears with my left hand in numerous roundabouts with traffic going the opposite direction after a sleepless flight was crazy but we lived.
Yeah, I probably rented the stick because I’m cheap and I spent many years driving one back home. My biggest problem was accidentally shifting into fourth instead of second when turning. Of course, this caused the vehicle to nearly stall and the cars behind me nearly ate my bumper a few times. Oops!I lived in England for three years and drove a stick shift.

Wait...we're playing FSU in Ireland but the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Atlanta?2024 will be interesting. It looks like we will be playing Georgia State, VMI, Clemson, Pitt, Wake, and Notre Dame at home.
It's in 2024. The upcoming season will be 2023.Ya know, I'm all for the kids having some fun...some exposure, etc. Play the Maui Invitational if you're a Top 25 basketball team...open football on a Thursday night on national TV.
But given where the team HAS been and what we NEED to do this coming season, wouldn't it have been better for Key & Company to establish some rhythm with a regular home game to set the tone for the rest of the slate instead of getting all off kilter with international travel, etc,?
Playing the Irish in Dublin would be a road game for sure.Wait...we're playing FSU in Ireland but the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Atlanta?
The 2016 game was an economic development venture for the State of Georgia. 2024 will probably be the same. Governor Deal flipped the coin at the beginning of the game, if I remember correctly. I mention this because the Governor probably wanted(insisted) a Georgia team play in Dublin. Better us than the mutts, Georgia State or Georgia Southern. Not to mention, it’s just one heck of an opportunity.Ya know, I'm all for the kids having some fun...some exposure, etc. Play the Maui Invitational if you're a Top 25 basketball team...open football on a Thursday night on national TV.

Smart man!I would love to go, but my daughter will be a senior year cheerleader. I will forgo the trip so that I can go to her games that year.
Ah...now see? I missed that.It's in 2024. The upcoming season will be 2023.
The gears are located in the same locations as they are in the US. 1st either left up or left down depending on where reverse it. I LOVE driving right-hand drive manual transmissions as a left-handed person. So much fun. The hardest thing to remember is how to turn into traffic at a T intersection. Just remember, the driver is always towards the middle of the road.Yeah, I probably rented the stick because I’m cheap and I spent many years driving one back home.

It was all pretty darn great but Dingle was my favorite. It was just a pretty little town with lots of nice people and lots of Guinness. I dug up our itinerary from 2016. I think we had to skip a couple of things on the list due to time constraints. One thing not on the list was a stop in a town called Ballybunion. I’m walking down the sidewalk and looking at a statue. I’m thinking, “Dang. That looks like Bill Clinton.” It actually was a statue of Bill Clinton playing golf; he loved the golf course there, apparently.
We also have ND as a home game in 2024. 6 true home games, 5 away, 1 neutral. Point is, the season ticket packages aren't necessarily any cheaper so paying full price for 5 games is a tough sell when you're used to getting 6 maybe 7. A lot on this board, I've noticed, weren't thrilled with 2022 home games being at MBS either.For those upset, we still will have 5 home games at BDS. (VMI, GSU, and 3 other ACC games) It's not that big of a deal.
The MBS tickets are included with season ticket packages. We have 7 home this year and 6 home next year (only the Ireland game is not included).The price for 6 last year is the same as 7 this year, if not a lil cheaper. We need to stop being so petty as a fan base.We also have ND as a home game in 2024. 6 true home games, 5 away, 1 neutral.

Just pointing out the frustrations from what I hear. Not saying I agree/disagree. I think neutral site games or games in cool stadiums are fun. Yes, they take away a true home game for someone but I'm sure revenue wise, it makes sense or ACC/GT/FSU wouldn't do it. Creating a buzz or having something worth marketing can bring in more total revenue, more eyeballs watching, which is always a good thing.The MBS tickets are included with season ticket packages.

Talk with the coach and make that weekend an open game.I would love to go, but my daughter will be a senior year cheerleader. I will forgo the trip so that I can go to her games that year.
