ND vs. UConn

Ben ended up getting 10 AWESOME tickets to the Notre Dame vs. UConn game this afternoon. We are talking four rows up from the field on the south end of the field. We sat right next to the UConn band and just off to the side of the goal post. It was awesome when the action was on our end of the field...but not as good when it was on the other end. Ben, David and I were the adults who went and we allowed Gabi to bring a friend for her first Notre Dame football game...this to ensure that there would be some interaction and entertainment if she got bored and Tyler was allowed to bring four friends. Gabi brought her friend, Sloane Bultinck, and Tyler brought Abby, her brother, Max, Drew Childress and Ben Versyp. We were very impressed with the seats and I was able to get some great pics!! The kids enjoyed their snacks from the concession and were able to get some sillys out at half time as they were allowed down on the field to move around. It was Notre Dame's last home game and the weather was good (50's and sunny). It was Senior Night and as the team came out, the seniors led, grabbed up Coach Weiss and they all walked arm in arm out to the field. Coach Weiss shed some tears - he didn't know they were going to do that at all. The game went into 2OT and unfortunately, ND couldn't pull it out losing 30-33...sad. All in all, a good time though...good weather, good friends, good game (exciting). Sad for the Irish.
