My story about my trip to Chicago, IL & South Bend, IN trip report….

My time rocked when I visited my family that live in Chicago, IL then a UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL game versus Central Michigan match up.  I saw both my nephews in action playing their soccer matches while I was in town.  A strange happen when I travelled to my nephews house while I was on the ‘L’ - CTA with my suitcase I was nearly hit by two suitcases while sitting down because people weren’t holding their bags while on the CTA train moves allot I guess.   I mostly went out for food since the family is very busy and has not much time to do so this days.  The one meal the most like was pork barq.  that was made by the family that Sunday evening.  My favorite place out in South Bend, IN besides At UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME is Rocco's First Original Pizza that has the best Italian food you can get.   For groceries we usually go to Martin’s super market and meds we go to CVS - dollar tree for small things.  Regular stores get what you need for bigger stuff.  Lots of my pictures while on vacation were texted and on social media like on Facebook & Instagram.  Notre Dame Campus is nice still but we saw two research buildings being built while we were there.  Our dad isn’t happy about all of this building stuff.

NFL has interest for little bit.  The Browns vs Titans (AFC match up in the division) & Commanders vs Bills (NFC East vs AFC East match up).  Not watching either one.  

Rankings for NCAA football FBS time.  The rankings are going to change but why know outsider team besides NOTRE DAME and power 5 conference in the ranks.  Why is it like that way?  Well, (#9 ranked) UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME had  a tough close game to lose against Ohio State for tonight.  UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME still has some games to go to stay in hunt for something this season.   Both teams were too light on play calling for me to understand it.  Notre Dame shouldn’t drop in ranking allot since lots teams didn’t playing yet this season.  ESPN college game day makes a little too much when it goes to campus and when the station doesn’t have the game.  How did the ratings go for this game versus several games around 7:30pm et? Notre Dame game, Penn. State game, Oregon State game (7pm et) & etc…  Ohio State Head football coach gets rash at Lou Holtz after the game last night. 

Ohio State's biggest game besides UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME - Are they ready to Michigan this time or what?  (#6 ranked) Ohio State schedule must play out of their mind to get into the playoffs when they need to beat Michigan badly.

At UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME ever game is big since haven't joined a conference yet?  We play 5 to 6 games against A.C.C. teams.  Next great game is Duke & Southern Cal in their schedule.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME ATHLETICS switch to another ticket brokers.  It's called SeatGeek for you to know.  Any thoughts on it?
