Well, it's finally here. Notre Dame plays USC this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST. And guess what? I'll be watching the game in California. That's right, I'll be in the University of Scholastic Compromise's backyard, ready to heckle and mock any passerby who happens to be wearing cardinal red and gold. But heckling and mocking simply aren't going to cut it this year. I need to go above and beyond the call of duty and make a real spectacle of myself. But how to do that?
Hmmmmm.....
So I spent last night preparing a checklist of things I think will come in handy on this trip.
- My wooden blocks (good for chucking at unsuspecting USC fans)
- An airhorn
- Benedict the Octopus, my new stuffed animal (he detests all things USC)
- My Notre Dame cheerleader outfit
- 18 lbs. of beef jerky to enjoy while holed up in my hotel room watching the game
The list was initially quite a bit longer, but then my mommy told me that most of what I wanted to bring wouldn't make it through security. But even without the blowtorch, I still think me and Benedict can cause quite a ruckus in California. Benedict has a naturally surly disposition, and I can't imagine what 6 hours on an airplane will do to him.
So watch out, California! Here we come!
