Football in Ireland: Would You?

I wouldn't have a choice. I would have to go or divorce my Irish wife.
"Aer Lingus" sounds like an Irish sex act I've never heard of.
Voted yes, I’d go.. but honestly it would be a hard consideration.
If it was in Edinburgh it would be a slam dunk go.

Went last year and had a blast. Dublin is fun but getting out of the city and seeing the country is a lot of fun and really beautiful.
State fans: We'd go!
Also State fans: We skipped the game to play golf

More like dove hunt, cuz…
I'm easy. I'd go to Dublin. If we could get that Bahamas bowl, I'd go. Always room for a trip.
I have a thing for Irish accents. Especially if she’s red headed.so yes, I’d go.
Probably lose a home game so that's less revenue for school/starkville. If i went to Dublin probably wouldn't center it around a college football game.
I've always liked opening season at home on our home turf.

Yeah, Ireland is on a very short list of countries I would love to visit at least once.
Several years ago I was in Ireland the week of the annual Dublin game (Georgia Tech played Boston College).
I was a little surprised to see some Tech fans on the same boat I was on that was going to Skellig Michael.

Irish Pub for pregame partying.
Would be a hard trip to not go on!!!

I remember UAB playing in the Bahamas Bowl a few years back and being jealous of the UAB fans I knew that were going.
I generally don’t want to go to a really cool place to watch MSU play football. Bowl games in any of the locations with a sec tie in, sure, great long weekend trip. But if I’m going to Ireland, way too many things I want to see/do that are unique to Ireland. Same with the basketball tournaments. Started pricing out one of the tournaments state eas playing in probably back in stansburys time (the Bahamas maybe? Can’t even remember) and then realized watching basketball would be the last thing I wanted to do.
I couldn’t get out of Dublin fast enough when I took a trip there. The rural Irish areas are incredible. I’d go back and watch the game and then head out in the rental car toward Killarney.
Airfare can be inexpensive.
Hotel rates have gotten significantly higher in the city though. That’s why…
Exactly.
Travel. Get out of Dublin and explore.
I’ve pretty much explored Dublin to my heart’s content. I’ve pretty much decided that I’ll spend nights there for two reasons: I have friends there I’d like to see again and music/sports.
Glen Hansard’s annual Christmas Eve busk has been on my list for a few years and I’ve thought about seeing the USMNT play a friendly there too.
Killarney is on my list to revisit as is Donegal and Galway.
I'd call Trump's campaign and see if he could get me into his place at Aberdeen, Scotland. .He has a fabulous links course right on the ocean front. I think they are expanding to 36 holes and his son, Eric, is in charge of overseeing it. Saw some pictures of it and looks unbelievably nice. They must own a couple miles of ocean front property at that location.
Every time I saw the name on the stadium ticker or the commercial, I thought of the SNL skit “COL Angus”
There’s a titanic museum in Belfast and it’s the most impressive museum I’ve walked in. It’s a great experience. Most people don’t know the titanic was built in Northern Ireland.
I've been to County Cork, Dublin, and Belfast. I want to get back some day. I really want to go to Northern Tipperary to see where some ancestors came from.
I’ve heard great things about the museum and I’d like to go back to Belfast to visit it.
It wasn’t yet open when I was there previously.
