Welcome to the first Bagpipe Monday of the 2019 y’all — WE THERE! The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are just a week away from taking on the Louisville Cardinals on the road, and we are all eager AF to get this thing going.
Of course, none of this is normal. Starting the season on Labor Day really knocks the schedule around. Planning around it reminds me a lot about when Notre Dame had their first night game in like 20 years against the USC Trojans in 2011. There was some comedy involved as we wandered around the tailgates and people were trying to figure out what they would (or should) be doing if the game was 4 hours earlier.
