Checking in from Dublin!

Sup M Go Fam!

Checking in from across the pond on day two of a European excursion. Yesterday bounced around the streets of Dublin in full U of M onesies. As we showed up to the Guiness Factory, the staff loved our get ups so much they let us cut an hour and a half line and comped our tickets! Able to enjoy a fresh pint at the 360 lounge overlooking the city. After receiving a variety of Go Blue's we made our way to "The Living Room" where the staff not only had the game on for us in our own VIP section with two free pitchers, but proudly hung our U of M flag that has now been to Machu Picchu, Alaska, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Paris, Brazil, and Santiago. 

Got a gaggle of Irish Rugby blokes to jump full steam on our bandwagon. Safe to say there is now a strong contingent of Wolverine Fans in Leprachaun land! At halftime we got the entire bar to yell NOOOOBODY after I politely asked who could possibly have it better than us, and closed out the bar with a Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine. 

Truly is fam, let's hope for a repeat today. If you're in the Dublin area we'll see you back at the Living room at 630 Local Time. 

GO BLUE!

Ridiculously friendly people in Dublin, even when stone cold sober (hell, even the cab drivers are great).  One of my favorite cities I've ever visited.  Sounds like an awesome experience

and in fact saw The Game there, at an Australian expat pub of all places- 99% of the crowd there was watching the Australia-Ireland rugby match, we were relgated to a small corner downstairs, but at least we outnumbered the OSU fans 3 to 1. They were actually pretty quiet and respectful except for one cooler pooper who got rambunctious only after the game was over...

Dublin? Absolutely fantastic place, people friendly, and even if you aren't a fan of Guinness, you have to go on their tour. Guinness definitely tastes better at the source; even my 100% Irish wife who despises beer drained her pint!
