War Eagle from Notre Dame

Pat

This is a fun one. We’re in South Bend, Ind. for a football game. Notre Dame was hosting Air Force. Before the big game we strolled into the campus bookstore for t-shirts. We’re looking around and one row over I see this guy in an Auburn hat.

We go over and talk. Pat said he was in town to visit relatives. He said he makes it to a Notre Dame game each year.

He was at Auburn in the early 1980s and also attended UAB, where Lauren and I got our master’s degrees — and where we met. He laughed at me because of my Samford shirt. His wife went to school where I teach. Small world.
