On Our Way to Blacksburg! GO IRISH!!!

I'm here just north of Charlotte in Mooresville, NC (Race City USA) at the home of 2x NASCAR Truck Champion and BIG-TIME NOTRE DAME FANS, Todd and Janet Bodine. 

They are world class hosts with a beautiful home -- you have to see their backyard!!!

I'm going to post some photos this afternoon of the Virginia Tech tailgating scene -- to both Twitter (@NDJimSmall) and to this blog.  We should be rolling onto the Hokies' campus around 1:30 PM ET.

GO IRISH!
