I took my brother to the ND at OSU Hockey game for his birthday last Friday and what a perfect evening.
First, we started the ND Pep Rally at the Varsity Club at OSU (for any of you unfamiliar, this was a real treat). The only advantage we had was that the Bucknuts are not hockey fans, so that by the time the students from ND and the Columbus, OH Notre Dame Club got there, the Varsity Club was a ND crowd.
Anyway, who do we meet there but the ND leperchaun, Juan, who autographed an official photo for each of us and we got our picture with him in the "Fightin' Irish" pose.
We get to the hockey arena (a short walk across the bridge) and our seats are in Row 2, right behind the goal and in a very nice spot to give the man in the glass cage advice about whether or not the puck crossed the goal. We shared our views with him often and I'm sure he was appreciative.
Now, to top it off...The Irish score with 1.4 seconds left in the Third Period to tie the game at 3, then score the game winner 55 seconds into the OT.
And all 4 ND goals are at our end!
Happy 51st Birthday, Brother Bob!

I think it sounds like lots of fun (for you) and I'm happy that I didn't have to sit through an ND/OSU hockey game. Happy Birthday, Uncle Bob!
