Yeah! Woo Nostalgia!
A couple of weekends ago I went out to the ND-North Carolina game. I scraped together a little vignette of a Notre Dame football Saturday, yet another ND video that capitalizes on your feelings of wistful nostalgia and bittersweet longing for a time you can never go back to. Enjoy! Fear not, there's no parque dance floor, no poetry, and you won't see the worm, but there is an excessive amount of woo-hooing. I've slowed down since I was a student, my poetry slams aren't quite what they used to be. Hope you like it, and that I'm not too embarassed by this sometime down the road. Oh yeah, and the song is "stay where you are" by Ambulance ltd.
I sent this video to all the ND alums I know when I first saw it. I'm an '05 grad, and hadn't watched in a while, but stumbled upon it again, and just teared up. Its a beautiful encapsulation of an ND weekend, complete with the stupid jokes, lovely scenery, inter-team banter, and stadium atmosphere. Thank you, I hope this never is lost.

It's been a long time since I was young enough to have that kind of weekend. Thanks for the memories.

Great video. I'm a "subway alum," and it's great to see what a game looks like (I've never been).

That was beautiful. It made me teary eyed because you are right, we can never have that again. At least not the way we did.

Great Video! I felt like I was there with you. Keep up the great videos, and GO IRISH!

Wonderful job! Captured the spirit of a day back on campus very well!

Nice work, Spider. God, I miss ND. The games are great, yeah, but I get to watch those every weekend. The tailgating parts of your video, however, sent nostalgic chills up my spine. Go Irish.
