Color me blue and gold.  I'm a shameless fan of Notre Dame football, t-shirtnotredamefootballgrayso I've been waiting since last December for my chance to once again enjoy an Irish football game.

Tomorrow is the day!  Kickoff is at 3:30 Eastern, and I intend to get all decked out in my Notre Dame sweatshirt and my game-day T-shirt, and generally be one of those obnoxious fans.  My kids think it's funny that I sit there yelling at the TV.  Just add "armchair coach" to my job description.

Fortunately for my family, I only watch Fighting Irish football.  I don't follow the pro teams, and I don't watch other college games.  So they put up with my fevered-fan behavior for 12 afternoons a year (13 if the Irish win a bowl bid.)  And they know to stay out of my way for the rest of the day if my team loses.  Go Irish!
