Notre Dame plays Army tonight at Yankee Stadium in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the game at the Polo Grounds that was immortalized by Grantland Rice:
"Outlined against a blue-gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below."
Instead of kvetching about the blue-grey outfits my Irish will wear, I will zip it...uncharacteristically...and instead appreciate the thought process behind them.
Cool, huh?
I'm under the blankets today and will enjoy some damn good, some stitching, and some football on the TeeVee with my Jersey Boy today. Christmas decorating, planning, and worrying can wait until another day.
Happy Saturday to one and all! I hope your corner of the world is exactly how you want it to be!
I'm with you. Christmas decorating can wait til next week.
