Who's going to South Bend?

Trust me it'll hold, it's held from Atlanta to Los Angeles!

Onion rings are just not the same as fresh out of the fryer.

Any fried food is like that. The only fried food I like left over is fried chicken.

I am blowing off Friday (it is great working for yourself.....sometimes) to prep food, pack the van etc. Looking forward to a day of tailgating, a few cocktails with other swarm posters, and a Jackets victory. The tent canopy hopefully will kept me dry til the rain blows through.

It really is great working for yourself, so much freedom.

I get to work out of my basement in the Chicago burbs when everyone else is at the office in Duluth, GA. Plus I get to visit Atlanta every few months on an expense account which is nice as well as I do miss Atlanta.

On another note, nobody I know around here could go but I decided last night I wanted to go anyway, so I bought a last minute ticket on stubhub and am driving myself for a day trip. This should be interesting. I've enjoyed reading about everyone's plans. I'm going to try and get there before noon and walk around campus for a few hours before the game. Looking forward to it!

I just bought a rain suit from Walmart for $10. Ponchos leave your lower half wet, rain suits cover everything and keep water out of your rain shoes.

Luckily, forecast on Google said 2% chance of rain at kickoff when I checked earlier today.

They are calling for wind of 15 to 25 mph. That could make things interesting.

What's the forecast for tailgate time?

Depends what your tailgate time is . I think the storm front is moving through in the morning and the cooler temps and wind come behind it.

I believe 7% at noon, which is when my bus gets in. Rain is going to be there earlier that morning, but not sure exactly when it clears.

The weather channel is showing partly cloudy at 10 am and a 25% chance of rain. 60% at 8 am, 35% at 9 am.....so it looks like they are expecting it to pass by early in the morning.

Got in early this morning, and after getting cleaned up, the wife and I eat Giordanos pizza, and it is phenomenal pizza so if you haven't eat it before try and make it by there.

Planning on pizza tomorrow night; thanks for the recommendation

We will travel for food. We saw Pequod's pizza on tv the other day. So, off we went as soon as we landed in Chicago. 2 trains, a walk, a bus and another walk later-- we were there. It was good, hole-in-the-wall local deep-dish.

We caught Paul's ESPN interview while at lunch there. But, couldn't hear it very well. So, kudos to AE87 for posting the portion of it he could get. 10,000+ steps later, we are resting at the hotel.

...Only by Atlanta standards. Try Ginos, Connies, or Nancys instead. If you ever get to west suburbs try "nonnies" (amazing, literally).

Avoid Rosatis or Pizanos. Regional chain tasteless grease pits.

There were a couple people trying to sell 2 tickets on one of the other threads about selling ND tickets.

Check out stubhub I just saw two tixs in the lower level end zone for $90

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

I still have one. Guess I'll try to sell it in the parking lot once I get there Saturday.

If you buy off stubhub, the pickup is at the Hilton garden inn just down the street after 11am.
