Japan train stations are nutz!
We have a private bus taking us everywhere we need to go here in Tokyo and I’m soooo glad. “Tokyo public train station service on average more than 3 MILLION people PER DAY…compared to New York City which serviced on average 166,000 per day in 2008″ Sometimes it’s the little things that bring us the [...]
Wednesday in Japan!
(I still have no card reader so unfortunately no photo’s can be posted…and it’s killing me! I have to get to an electronic shop around here soon. I don’t have much free time so it’s hard to get there.) Today we had practice this morning as usual, then lunch, after lunch we drove over to [...]
Captains for the game
Just a side note or FYI: Not sure if I mentioned this or not but Lou Holtz selected the guys who were were former captains at Notre Dame to be Captains of this game, so I’ll be a Captain along with Tony Rice, Mike Gooslby, Brandon Hoyte, Bobbie Howard, and Melvin Dansby. Just a little [...]
Our Ritz Carlton hotel room video tour
Here’s a video tour of our room room at the Ritz. (I’m posting this right now before I leave and the video is not fully processed on YouTube but it should be up in the next half hour or so.)

Flight and Monday
We made it to Tokyo yesterday afternoon (Monday) and got all settled into our hotel. We didn’t have practice or anything it was pretty much a day of acclimation to the time change and 13 hour flight. We had dinner and a quick team meeting (video to come later) then we were free. The flight [...]
Finally headed to Tokyo, Japan!!!!
We leave at 5 a.m. South Bend time and drive to Chicago with the team to fly out of Chicago O’Hare. The flights 13 hours but I’m not so worried about making the 13 hour flight. Just gives me some time to sleep and hang out with Brooke. I’ll be posting here on my blog [...]
Headed to Chicago
Brooke and I are loaded up on the bus with the team and ready to head to Chicago. We leave South Bend in about 15 minutes.
Last day of Two-a-days
Today is a great day. We get to go practice again! It’s the last day o two-a-days and I’m getting more excited the closer we get. The teams looking pretty good, the defense is looking real good. About to start defensive meetings. Gotta go!
