Notre Dame vs. Penn State and the Philadelphia connection.
Philly media has a lot to say about tonight’s game between Notre Dame and Penn State. Penn State is huge in the area. But there are also a lot of Irish fans in and around Philly, whether alumns, subway alumns, or other connections.
I’ve got a few dogs in this fight: the obvious ones of being an ND alum and working there now. But that’s not all. My beloved Delco, Delaware County, has a huge number of Irish, by heritage (my mom) and also ex-pats (my dad). Havertown in Delaware County, PA has been called Ireland’s 33rd county.
GO IRISH!
