Meet Alec Galloway aka BigIrish!
Which state and town do you currently live? Haralson, Georgia (1.5 hours south of Atlanta - Walking Dead Filming area)
Alum (what year) or SubAlum? SubAlum
Why ND? How did you become a fan? I'm Scots-Irish and as soon as I learned that there was a team named the Fighting Irish, I was sold!
Do you remember the first ND game you watched? I'm too old to remember but I think it was a win against U$C.
Which game was your first Irish game attended, and how many have you attended over your lifetime? Navy 1996 almost lost on the last play. I have been to about 15 since
What is ND's record in games you've attended (maybe you're the problem)? I'm 0-2 against Michigan sucks; 1-1 against U$C; and about 8-3 in others. So about 9-6
What is your favorite ND moment? Tim Brown returning 2 against Michigan sucks
The most proud you've ever been to be a ND fan? Every day that they refuse to sell out academics in favor of football (and they didn't do it in the frozen 5 - the NCAA is full of shit)
The most angry you've ever been at a ND game? I was at the 33-3 drubbing by Georgia Tech - it is the only Notre Dame game I've ever left before the end.
Have you ever physically broken something because you were so angry during or after a ND game? No, but only because of luck.
Top 5 favorite ND players of all time? Bettis, Rocket, Tim Brown, Chris Zorich, Zibby and Jamoris Slaughter (ok only because I know him but I did love him).
5 Irish players who didn't get enough respect? Zibby, Jamoris Slaughter, Hayseed (at least during his first 2 years when he was played at the wrong position), Thomas Bemenderfer
Favorite place on ND campus? The Grotto
Favorite ND game tradition? Trumpets under the Dome
Favorite ND coach? Lou Holtz
Place you're most likely to be found before and after attending a ND game in South Bend? When I drank - the linebacker lounge; now Chipotle with my daughter the vegan
Most despised opposition player ND has played against? Any player from Miami in the 1980's
Top 5 favorite posters on ISD? Scriptcomesfirst, Funkdoctorspock, LTDomer, tommynacc, atlirish (where did he go?)
Are you a Polly or a Debbie Downer? Polly - it will get better tomorrow, next year etc.
Traditionalist, or spend whatever, let's compete? Compete but don't have commercials on the Jumbotron
What is your ideal ND season? 14-0 beating a Saban coached Alabama in the Natty
If you could sit and watch a ND game with one person, who would it be and why? Lou Holtz - just to pick his brain on what we are doing v. What we should be doing
Worst fans in college football? Michigan sucks
Most hated opposition coach? Pete Carroll
What is your favorite thing about ISD? The accuracy of info
Which ISD staff member do you think is the best dancer? You can choose mods, interns, columnists, etc. Buccos in compression shorts
What should be the punishment for Buccos, who says he is happy with 8 wins in any season? He has to give away 1 ticket for every game
ND's record in 2017? 9-3 regular season with a bowl win for a final record of 10-3
