🏈 Here is me at Dublin

[firestorm]

Hey, I'd like to share with you, one picture from me last saturday at Dublin.

Maybe somebody still doesn't know me, but here you got a die-hard Crimson Tide fan from Spain.

Just representing, we are worldwide. Roll Tide!

 

[AlabamaAubKiller]

That's awsome! way to represent!inkbiggrin:

 

[TerryP]

Nice job Isra!

Any comments from fans over here about what you were wearing?

I wouldn't be smiling if I were forced to watch Notre Dame as one of my first collegiate football experiences either. :chat2_nana:

How did you enjoy the game?

---

I've been peaking in on your blog occasionally. Always been impressed!

Oh, now that I think about it.

They had a spot that morning on the telecast where David Feherty—one outspoken Bama fan—was interviewing a fan there asking questions about the sport of American football.

With no doubt, they should have chosen you. It would have been a perfect fit!

The only thing what can I say, is I have never received so many "roll tide calls" on the streets as I did that last weekend at Dublin.

Everybody stopped me, even Michigan and Notre Dame fans, and they respectfully stated what the hell was I doing over there and not at Big-D.

I laughed a lot and also met nearly every person walking around in that city. It was amazing. The thing is they were impressed with the fact that I was coming from Spain and not Alabama. There were an estimated crowd about 40.000 of americans coming overseas.

Hey Terry, I wasn't exactly forced to watch the Fighting Irish, haha. You know I love college football, and Dublin city is separated just 2 hours away from home on flying. I reconsider myself about the Irish after seeing how classy are their fans (anyway I can guarantee you I not gonna cheer now for 'em).

And thank you for all the kind words, bro. Roll Tide!

Can't speak it, can't write it, but I damn sure can figure out what is being said when I see it written! May take a few minutes... :icon_geek:

Google translate is your friend.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Thanks for posting that bro... Glad you had a good time! You represented well!

 

[TerryP]

Google translate is your friend.

With the way translation pages work, it's easier for me to scan nouns and verbs and go.

It's a nice story. Read it if you get the time.

 

[Ump]

Nice threads !!

 

[TerryP]

Isra, you'd be a perfect fit in Tuscaloosa.

Great read!!!

The rest of the evening continued between several pints blondes in Temple Bar (until I discovered the Irish Ale, especially Smithwick's), and we are also approaching The Church, an ancient Church reformed and transformed into an elegant restaurant. Greetings did not cease nor a moment, especially among fans of the Irish (I think that he made them illusion singing with his characteristic accent "Roll Tide"). In many pubs, the people approached to greet me and ask what noses I was doing there, including the Michigan fans, who, incidentally, approached with much respect and education. There are who seemed to know me life after reach me as she walked into the pub and offer me a "high-five", wondering as I was life. My reply was blunt, with class, education and pride; I always had great respect for the Wolverines, but on Saturday in Arlington will be a "beatdown". Certainly I was not anything wrong.

What's this? Our Spaniard talking a little smack with a Wolverine? :rofl:

At the suggestion of 37, I ran this through Microsoft's translater...

Thank you for all the kind words, friends. And yes Terry, getting a little smack but wolves fans were very respectful when they were heading to me.
