This 2024 kickoff was supposed to be replete with stories about my experience at College Station and what it was like to watch a game at The Most Intimidating Stadium on Earth™. Unfortunately, a family situation required me to cancel the trip, and while everything has resolved to my satisfaction, I remain depressed I missed the pageantry and spectacle (not to mention the time with good friends and the opportunity to meet more NDN folks). Nevertheless, it is my resolution to pluck away at the strings and share my impressions of Notre Dame football’s epic (yes, I said epic) win at #20 Texas A&M this Saturday.
