Burger King

Everyone has their gameday eating rituals at Notre Dame.  Many of the undergrads drink their meals, tailgaters flip burgers, and countless others line up for the Knights of Columbus steak sandwiches.  I go to Burger King and get a chicken sandwich.  

I don't remember the origin of it.  Like so many traditions at Notre Dame, it probably became one after it happened a few times in a row and was expected from then on.  I have a number of friends who get upset if they found out I didn't make it to BK that day.  (Un)fortunately, whether I make my BL pilgrimage or not hasn't had any correlation to the way ND has played over the years.  

I always have to fight through the endless Subway line just to get to BK on gameday Saturdays.  Why are all you people going to Subway anyway?  Subway is everywhere.  Burger King is only almost everywhere.  

It may look like all the tables are always packed, because they are, but one of them will open up every other minute or so.  Then you can sit down and watch some garbage Big Ten game that started at 9 a.m.  We'd better not join some godforsaken conference that sees fit to start their football games before fucking Saturday morning cartoons are even finished.
