Navy - Notre Dame, 2012 [TOUTING IS FORBIDDEN AND WILL LEAD TO PERMABANS: #205 #628]

CoachTO

Guys just one thing its the IAFA who have a problem not the IAFL. The IAFA is the Irish American Football Association and the IAFL is the Irish American Football League. The IAFA is the governing body not the IAFL which is just a league within the IAFA.

Also I laughed when I read that article.

I think we all know there's no way in hell this game is being stopped by IAFA but it's kinda fun to explore who the IAFA would be "up against":

Navy - They have aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines in their arsenal.

Notre Dame - They have some very rich and very powerful alumni. A word to Inda or Leo V. would ensure that this game would go ahead if need be.

NCAA - They're not afraid to give some of their schools the "death penalty".

Anyone willing to sell two or three tickets? Face value and a pint/whiskey as payment??

event

Seeing as tickets are very scarce, where would be the best place to watch this on tv?
Are there many Americans making the trip over?

ESPN America are showing the game live

Apparently there are around 25,000 coming over from America for the game

Just after getting myself sorted for the game, really looking forward to it now!

Does anyone have idea on a practice schedule for the teams and where they'll be based during the week?

One of the teams is based in UCD for practice. Almost sure its Navy and apparently there will be open practices to the public.

Just going by what I was told. As the UCD guys I used to coach are looking after the event management for all the teams practicing there Navy were mentioned also with the GIFT teams.

Well that jersey I ordered came.

Bad news is, I reckon you could fit two Vince Wilforks inside it. It's absolutely enormous, I'm wondering if I accidentally ordered a blanket by mistake.

Will be a tight squeeze having it returned and a new one sent in time

I am sure they have enough security around to get rid of people turning up to the closed sessions.

Just incase they don't pm me too :pac:

I wanted a UK XL as I wanted it loose fitting over a hoody but it's US XL which is a lot bigger. Going to order an M instead and get a refund on the original one.

I'm usually an XL size for t-shirts but somewhere around M for jerseys and even then I could wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt comfortably under the jersey.
