The Irish Blogger Gathering is still alive. Despite the attempts by the US government to shut us down, we have rebelled and are gearing up for Tulsa. TULSA!!!!!!!!
Once again, the IBG will be hosted right here at Subway Domer- this time it was planned. Here are this weeks questions:
1. A young man of 12 arrives in the United States from the city of Moroni, on the island of Comoros. He has never seen the game of football before, but notices you watching a game. He seems to really like watching it with you and asks what team he should cheer for. You, of course, tell him Notre Dame in attempt to have more company for your misery. He asks, “why Notre Dame?” Without using any of Notre Dame football history prior to 1995 and without spewing off nonsense about academics (which has no real bearing on a football game); give him your best answer. His name is Tonokiuyt Paluifirtaginerto.
2. If you are anything like me, you trolled around the Notre Dame message boards after the loss to Navy. We don’t need direct quotes, but what was the best line, subject heading, argument- whatever? Should Irish fans be banned from the Internet for at least a couple of days after the game, win or lose?
3. Tulsa is a scary team after a loss to Navy. Before the Navy game- not so much. Give me your most dramatic nightmare scenario as well as your fairybook ending for this weeks game against the Golden Hurricane. Which one is closest to a possible reality?
4. Most of these IBG’s have had a rather dark tone to them because of the season Notre Dame is having. If we would have beat Navy, we would be 5-3 and riding a 4 game winning streak. I had rather hoped to use that cheerfulness, and ask a few light-hearted questions. Seeing as how we lost, I think we need these more than ever. They’re not the wittiest questions, but you better answer them:
- What college football team would you blog about if Notre Dame did not exist?
- Change Notre Dame’s colors. No blues, gold, or green please.
- Change one play in Notre Dame history. What was it, and how did it help?
- Turn one loss into a win, and one win into a loss for one season. What season and what games are they?
5. Tell me more about this Tulsa matchup. Tell me anything you like- but use at least one real stat.
6. Phil Steele now has Notre Dame picked to play in the Pinstripe Bowl. The Pinstripe Bowl is in New York City and will be played in Yankee Stadium. Agree or disagree. Give me your bowl scenarios- if there are any.
BONUS—- Please tell me that we can turn this season into a positive learning experience for 2011. How?
