Weekly Prognostication from Bill Webb, ‘88BA,’92JD
Our Very Own Wizard of All Things Notre Dame Football
WHO: Florida State at #10 Notre Dame (Notre Dame Stadium, cap. 77,622)
WHEN: Saturday, November 9, 5:30 p.m.
WHERE: Tom’s Watch Bar, 1601 19th Street, Unit 101 Denver, CO 80202
TELEVISION: NBC
PARKING: Good news! We have made it easier (and cheaper) for you to park. The parking garage immediately across the street is 1899 Wynkoop Street. If you want to park there, see these detailed instructions; it is necessary to follow the instructions to get a discounted rate. You can also reserve and pay for a spot right now on the Spot Hero app, which is a really impressive piece of technology. (Atrium is not on the app, so I park at the Dairy Block Garage, a block away.)
BRING: Money for the traditional door prizes, and a designated Domer-driver; those $1 off 22-ounce drafts for our club don’t drink themselves!
LIGHT RAIL: Three blocks from Union Station! Several people, including seniors, have commented that the walk from Union Station to Tom’s Watch Bar is very easy:
Want to know a little story about FSU, also known as Free Shoes University?
You may recall, or may have been told, that in 1993, Notre Dame played FSU in what was then billed as the “Game of the Century.” (Notre Dame played in two games of the century last century, the other, I believe, was against Ohio State in 1936, but I am going from memory so don’t hold me to it.) Notre Dame beat FSU in a very close game. I was at the game, and the sideline reporter was one Orinthal James Simpson, who would later become famous for driving a white Ford Bronco on live television through the highways and byways of Los Angeles. I saw him that day from about 25 feet away several times as he went back and forth covering the game. I also saw Dick Vitale at the game and clapped him on the shoulder as if he were an old friend and said, “Hi, Coach!” before I realized that I didn’t really know him, or, rather, he didn’t know me. When someone is regularly in your living room, the body sometimes forgets these nuances of modern living.
