"Here Come the Irish"
Welcome to my 33rd Annual Southern Cal vs. Notre Dame tailgate.
I thought SC football had bottomed out under Clay Helton, but things have gotten so bad that 1) Lincoln Riley is trying to discontinue the rivalry (he's actually trying to move the game to September) and 2) the Irish aren't even worried about playing USC anymore (see Kyle Hamilton quote).
However, I still appreciate the greatest intersectional rivalry in all of college football and will be hosting my 33rd annual Southern Cal vs. Notre Dame game tailgate this Saturday!!!
Location & Itinerary
Our tailgate will be located on South Coliseum Drive in parking spot 66, just outside of Coliseum gate one entrance. Our spot is marked by the BLUE DOT on the map below. This is the best tailgate location we have ever had - just steps from the Coliseum entrance. The parking spots on South Coliseum Drive are all numbered - so just look for #66. If you still can't find us, don't hesitate to text me at 619-865-2690.
The Coliseum does not open the parking lots until 6 hours before kick-off (6:30am). Thus, the tailgate will not be up and running until 7:00 am. We will shut down the tailgate at 12:00pm in time for the 12:30pm kick off. Catered breakfast burritos will be served at 10:00am!!!
Food and Entertainment
Unfortunately, T.V. executives gave us another crappy (for tailgating) 12:30pm kick-off time, which makes the food menu akward. Since its too early for lunch, we will have the tailgate catered by HomeState who will be serving delicious breakfast tacos. They should have the food delivered no later than 10:00am.
Big THANK YOU to Bryan Goldberg who volunteered this year to pay for the tacos!!!
I will also provide all the tailgate essentials - donuts, beer, water, soda, chips, peanuts and hopefully my older sister's cholcolate chip cookies.
You DO NOT need to bring anything to the tailgate. But, if you would like to bring something, I will have plenty of open coolers to store drinks in and table space for food.
I will have a TV so we can watch Gameday and the Michigan/Ohio State. I will have four USC canopies, tables, and a bunch chairs. If you bring your own gear (chairs, coolers, etc) you can store them in my rental van during the game to be picked up after.
Who Can Attend
Everyone and anyone can attend the tailgate!!!!! Feel free to forward this website to any of your friends.
I'm also looking forward to seeing all my Notre Dame friends who are in town. I only wish the tailgate was longer than six hours......
I can't wait to see everyone this Saturday!!!!
I love you all, Frank
