At exactly 6:57 PM ET last night, a Notre Dame fan from Phoenix became unique visitor #2 MILLION to the ND GO IRISH BLOG.
Yep—two million. Wild, right? Thank you!
This whole thing started back in 2010—15 years ago—after I gave my oldest son some “wise fatherly advice” over a Christmas break lunch with my college buddy and his daughter, who just happens to be one of my son’s good friends from their Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame days.
He actually listened. Started a blog.
Then I realized—I wasn’t following my own advice.
So I did what any self-respecting dad would do: I copied him. And here I am, still messing with this thing almost every day, 15 years later. Call me crazy. (Many have.)
But what’s happened since has been pretty amazing. Check out these stats:
- First post on January 17, 2010 -- 5,595 days ago
- 15,917 stories posted on this site about the University of Notre Dame
- 2,000,139 unique Notre Dame fans have read at least one story on this site -- at the time of this story
