Two weeks in Ireland

Posted by coldcoldcajun on 12/9/25 at 9:12 pm
Will be going in May or June. 4 nights in Dublin with day trips on coaches to Wicklow/Gendalough and Newgrange. 2 nights in Kilkenny. 2 nights in Cork with day trips to Cobh and Kinsale. 1 night in Doolin for Cliffs of Moher. Then 2 nights in Galway.

I’ve had people say less time in Dublin, more in Galway. And I’m wondering if trying to get to both Cobh and Kinsale takes too much time from Cork itself.

Will be taking busses and trains. I’m not driving on the wrong side of a 10’ wide road sitting on the wrong side of the car hoping I can drive a stick after 40 years!

It’s too bad you’re going to be in conferences during the day! My wife and I spent 3 days there and walked everywhere. We started out walking with suitcases from the airport to Stone Brewing. They have a great restaurant and outdoor dining. We ubered to our hotel from there.

The next day we walked to the seafront and caught the ferry over to Coronado. A 15 minute walk gets you to the little downtown there, the Del Ray hotel, and checked out the beach. Stopped at a Coronado Brewing restaurant for an app before catching the ferry back. We did not tour the USS Midway but its right there at the seafront. Walked to Little Italy that evening and had dinner at some Italian place. Then stopped in at Ballast Point brewing for nightcap draft. You could also eat dinner there.

The next day we took the light rail and transferred to a bus to get to LaJolla. Waked around there saw the sea lions. Not much else to do there except some high end shops and restaurants. That night walked to Gaslamp district and had dinner at a mexican place.

The last day we walked to the zoo which is world class. Better than Audubon and beautiful weather! Had to fly back that evening.

Too soon was us drunks in the student section yelling “Hey its time…to bring back Bo Rein!” When Stovall’s team was struggling.
That’s Kid Jonny Lang…Or it was when he got his start up here in Minneapolis at 13.
Have gone to other bowls games and spent time enjoying the host city…but there were actual things to do there…Phoenix (hiking, Scottsdale) and Nashville (Broadway obviously). If I went to Houston what would I do the day before and day after? With family.
Since we don’t have a QB for next year it would be great if Chambliss came for continuity, but he’s a senior.

The Ryan Day tree?

The Ohio State seems to be doing something right over the last few years. Have any of his assistants or coordinators been hired? Are there any there now that might be worthy? I’m thinking the Saban tree branched out pretty well.

Game day parking (Arkansas game)

From out of state and we will be going to first game in years. Staying near I-10 and Essen. Will only be 4 of us including 9 and 7 year old boys. Where should we aim to park? Don’t want to break the bank to park, and we don’t mind walking a bit.

When? I never see his lips moving when they show him on TV, just a blank stare into space as if he’s composing his post game statements in his head.

Lacy frustrated

He gives his all during the game, but with guestionable quarterbacking and play calling, when does he opt out of games to concentrate on the draft?

Thanks all. National radio guys said Lane came over to Weeks and told him it was a clean play.

Weeks targeting video?

Posted by coldcoldcajun on 10/13/24 at 7:24 pm
I know it wasn’t ruled targeting, but I didn’t see that part of the game. I’m wondering how close it was. Can anyone post a video?

Right down Broadway… a bunch of bachelorette parties were probably confused.
Vanderbilt fans took the goal posts away…

PJ Fleck +1500
WHY? I would say PJ is one loss away from being fired. He has lost any momentum he had a few years ago, just lost to a 2 win Purdue team and a down Illinois team. Will get a pass when he loses to tOSU, but if he loses to a down Wisconsin he should be gone. He’s a great guy and cares about his athletes, but his 1 game seasons and rah-rah slogans have worn thin.

Who are our receivers next year?

No Nabors or Thomas. Lacey?
You mean the SKOL chant that Peyton was mocking right before the Minnesota Miracle? He’s the one they really hate up here, so now that he’s gone it shouldn’t be too bad. I’m going and will be wearing my Brees jersey. This isn’t Philly so unless something really goes haywire there won’t be any trouble.
I’m guessing it’s your first time. Can’t speak for Boston, but for NYC buy the city pass. It will have all the “must see” attractions at a discount. Do a couple of walking tours too (might be on the pass as well). We did Meat Packing District, Financial District, and one other. It was great to hear about what you would ordinarily just walk by. If you want to do a broadway show you can get discount tickets Saturday morning at the TKTs booth in Times Square. Not every show is sold there, but you’ll probably find something you like. You will need to plan according to the times of tours and shows. NYC is walkable, and we didn’t find the subway too scary (a bit confusing though).
