Pre-Game Fun With the "Four Horsemen" at ND
They along with the NFL Players Association's Willis Whalen and film producer Ben Tishler (Notre Dame "Fighting For" TV spots) were here at Notre Dame to see the Fighting Irish beat the Trojans. As you can see from the photos, my family had a great time hosting these guys.
The bottom photo shows Bill holding court -- he was telling the story of appearing in Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" -- with ND alums Jimmy Small '08 and Dan Dunne '08.
Top photo L to R: Joe Bartnick, Paul Virzi, Bill Burr and Jason Lawhead.
The four comedians begin their tour tomorrow in Fort Wayne, IN -- leading up to a big date at Madison Square Garden on November 14th. The tour schedule is linked below:

Game #412 of the Last 414 for Stanley Weber!
Notre Dame super-fan Stanley Weber will be attending his 412th game tonight -- out of the last 414 at Notre Dame Stadium -- over the last 74 seasons!
The streak began November 22, 1941 when Frank Leahy's Fighting Irish beat USC 20 - 18 !!! It was the 16th game in this rivalry.
Stanley has kept every ticket over the 74 years at Notre Dame Stadium -- that's him holding the scrap book with the tickets.
His ticket cost for that first game in 1941 against USC -- $2.20 -- his ticket cost for tonight's game: $125.
These are the tickets to his first eight games at Notre Dame Stadium -- CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.
