English Saturday*

A mischievous leprechaun wonders if he might make anarchy on a campus Saturday during a football-chess dual event complementing his inquiry about 'American' exercises.

A leprechaun fable invoking the academic culture/spirits of a special media-linked American college/campus, inspired by the relevant social themes from the Notre Dame set film Rudy. Thanks for reading (and Happy Thanksgiving!),

I was on the campus of Notre Dame on a special Saturday afternoon when the Fighting Irish football team was tackling a longtime rival, the Boston College Eagles, in what would become another 'episode' of this saga in the media-broadcast era of college sports in the United States, but it was also a Saturday when the Earth-prince Amlan Satan would challenge a Boston College rival in the chess-championship on campus, making for some rather nice social-media chat(s) surrounding the two schools. Well, I'm a mischievous leprechaun from the American forests and have been spying on all this campus person(s) activity on this special Saturday. Follow along!

AMLAN SATAN: I'm confident I can draw a 'cool' stalemate-conditions match against the Eagles' champion for my girlfriend.

Well, the game on the stadium was quite a thrill, as the Fighting Irish quarterback ran in for a TD-score in the 4th, giving Notre Dame a late 33-30 victory over the rival Boston College Eagles which had ran the ball greatly all through the game, despite the constantly close scoreline through the 4-quarters (wow). In the end, this sportsmanship event would most likely totally-eclipse the chess-event involving Fighting Irish Amlan Satan, a cyber-chess 'wizard' of the United States (ha).

AMLAN SATAN: The Eagles' champion had great queen-knight 1-2 march punch, which I stalemated with rook-bishop line(s)!

After the two events, football-chess, the Notre Dame and Boston College folks decided to convene at a special meeting area on the Fighting Irish campus for post sportsmanship event/media in-house relaxed sci-fi video-game entertainment, as the two schools now 'casually' competed with each other on Alien combat video-game platforms on their provided Xbox system, attached to a nifty eBay Hitachi-Plasma that one of the faculty acquired for the event that wonderful Saturday in 2022.

AMLAN SATAN: Who'd think a chess-stalemate with the Eagles following the football win would complement an 'alien' contest?

Thus ended what would be remembered as a rather 'cool' Saturday on the campus of Notre Dame, which served to remind folks why sportsmanship/competition in the United States can be a good deal about the quality of socialized activity in public platforms/areas. That's what makes everyone 'envy' the great American Dream --- its wide access to media-driven activity in social format(s) for great stories (hmm). I honestly had no 'room' to perform my routine/ritual evil acts of mischief and anarchy, since the campus on that Saturday was simply...Irish organized (shoot).

I've no personal ties to Notre Dame or Boston College, as a forest-dwelling leprechaun visiting the campus on that magic Saturday, but what I did learn about American media-culture that day was the basic 'quality' of choreographed activity in an educational setting, which made me wonder why post-9/11 era terrorism and anti-American sentiment(s) outside the United States can always offer a 'darkened' expression (hmm).
