A Full Weekend That Left Me Feeling Empty

This past weekend, my brother and a couple friends of ours made the trek to Notre Dame to see what we set out to see back in 2005 - that is, beating SC at home. 4 years ago, we maybe saw one of the best games in the storied rivalry that didn't go ND's way. We thought 4 years later we'd be able to witness something similar, but with the good guys coming out on top.

We got to see another exciting, nay, thrilling game, but were left with the same empty feeling. The similarities between the two were incredible. The scores were similar, the fact that the field had to be cleared in both games for one last play, and the fact that despite the great football played, ND simply couldn't pull it out.

We have now seen two of the best finishes between these two teams and neither has gone our way. However, the weekend was fun as I was able to spend time with my brother and a few friends. We were able to go to the Rallly on the Green, see the first half of the #7 ND women's soccer game, and the Midnight Drummer's Circle Friday night and then did normal game day stuff Sat. morning around campus. We had a blast, but ended up driving home a bit bummed.

Here are a few pics...
Nothing like ND Stadium on a beautiful fall day

Here Come The IRISH!

One second left...

Same empty feeling
