Sidenote - it’s delicious.

No wonder everyone loves us (the Irish).

Heck, his parents are straight off the boat from Erin.

His father helped build Manhattan.

He is going to shut down every pub each night.

Spider- If you drew up an ideal travel companion, Spider would be on the short list.

Considering everyone in Ireland is friendly, I think he’s great to have on the squad.

He is one of those runners who can slam beers despite weighing as much as my right leg.

Overall, these three are an excellent group top to bottom.

They make this trip better simply by being there.

Katie Stats- Few, if any, have a work ethic better than Katie.

Not just at Barstool either.

I’m talking all the folks I’ve ever come across.

She is head down and cranks out her job without a hint of a complaint.

This is likely the college athlete in her.

Why do I say all this?

It is entirely possible she is the last one at the pub until the tap is dry.

Teams from Jersey are scrappy and find a way to win.

The same could be said for these three ladies.

He’s easy to get along with and great to engage in conversation.

Good for Bob, though.

A Cinderella story indeed and since these two are as nice as Cinderella, stamp their passports.

#9 FAU -Reags, Castellani, Nadu

Reags- Despite his heritage, this trip is wasted on Reags.

Him and Reags will only leave their rooms to get the free breakfast.

If not, let’s just assume that’s the end result if he goes this time.

Damn if I don’t love his passion though.

If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it 9 times from Zah.

Expressions- Admittedly, I’ve never met Expressions and I’m sad about that.

Listen, if they end up going it will be fine.

#11 Pitt - Rico Bosco, Kirk Minihane

Rico- Believe it or not, Rico is actually Irish.

The hot-headed, fiery guy with a short fuse.

Shocking, I know.

He is coming to Christmas this year, as a matter of fact.)

Middle aged white guy.

T shirt tucked into his khaki shorts.

Ok now you see Kirk in Ireland.

I’d pay to follow along in his tour group as he continuously corrects the tour guide on facts.

We may even play a round of golf together.

What a combo these two would be.

I’m as Irish as they come and it is my birthright to visit.

I can shut down the pub and wake up early for the trip to the distillery.

I am easy to travel with and I never complain.

Chaps -My only concern for Chapsy are those twigs he calls legs.

Ireland’s terrain could be tricky for him to navigate but otherwise, he is great to travel with.

Not to mention with that red beard he is going to fit right in with the locals.

He is one to call it a night early though which leaves the rest of us to run amok.

She’s going to rip so many drunk heaters.

We deserve this trip more than anyone.

That’s all there is to it.

I hope we go and have beers with Colin Farrell.

So there you have it - 19 of us with a shot at a trip to Ireland.

Whoever ends up making it is going to have a blast.

There is no way this is anything except the trip of a lifetime.

We are one lucky bunch.

I guess you could say we have the…luck of the Irish.

Dave - can we fly private c’mon?
