DSethi,
Get in Domer line behind the family members.
Uncle Viejo,
I'm sure we could work out a trade as you might have some bargaining chips there.
Agree that the TV, couch, and home bar is probably the way to go and definitely what I would choose.
The last game I saw in person was ND at USC in the Coliseum a few years back. Took the parents and met up with Porno Paul there. Got to show my mom my old college stomping grounds for the first time.
Me: Mom, this is Paul.
Paul: Nice to meet you Mrs. Doberman.
Mom: Paul, oh you mean Porno Paul? Oh, ok. You are not really rooting for USC sitting next to us are you?
(Mom, not worried about the fact she just met a guy named Porno Paul who is actually in adult films, but pissed that he is actually rooting against Notre Dame).
That was the game ND didn't get a first down until midway through the 3rd quarter. Pretty sure USC won either 35-0 or 38-0 but me and Paul were silently rooting for the under the whole time while my dad had this pissed off/gritted teeth look the whole time since he's a hardcore Irish fan).
