Bangers and Mash | by Jay

Sorry for the light posting, but I took a little trip to Ireland and just recently got back.

The good news from the homeland is that the Irish aren't nearly as distraught as we are over Notre Dame's season. In fact, most of my discussions about the Fighting Irish didn't consist of football at all. (If you're ever in Dublin, I highly recommend the tour of Kilmainham Gaol, a prison that's played a sinister part in the history of Irish independence.) All in all, the trip was an welcome respite from a challenging year of football fandom.

Once I've cycled all the Guinness out of my bloodstream (hopefully later today) I'll be ready for some year-in-review and perhaps a few thoughts on the offseason. Slàinte.
