Tweedy and the Irish sport of Hurling!


Recommended Posts

I am a member of the Indianapolis Irish Hurling Club, playing the best sport in the world-Hurling. I could go on and on and on (pun intended) about why the sport is the best, but in my daily search through you tube footage of hurling I came across a bio on some excellent hurlers from Ireland and at the 3 minute mark our very own Mr. Jeff Tweedy is showcased. My two favorite passions, wilco and hurling, come together....who woulda thought!

And on this link, Wilco, is featured at 3:25 mark with more hurling action than previous link...

And if your interested in hurling check out our website: www.indyhurling.com; for those of you in Chicago, hurling is very alive, well, and has excellent talent. Check out a game some sunday at chicago's gaelic park, you won't be disappointed.

I watched a hurling match in Tralee once. Pretty badass.

 

 

Yeah, and to think that still today as when hurling started that these men put so much training, blood, sweat, and tears into a sport where, GET THIS, no one gets paid! Look at the stands in the footage, this is all about the love of sport and pride for who you play with and for! They all have day jobs, and keep sport as sport. True grit.

Holy shit! One thing I would never have guessed I would see on a music message board is a mention of hurling!!! :blink

 

 

Of course, those are all Offaly bogmen and cannot hold a candle to the Rebel County!

UP the REBELS and sean og and the rock!!! Unfortunately, we have a minor hurler from Kilkenny on our squad. We also got a goalie from Fermanaugh (?), mid from Mayo, and a coach from Tyrone...maybe we should play gaelic football instead! Anyway, haven't been to Ireland, but when I do, I'll visit Croake park, where WILCO SHOULD PLAY--do they have a good fan base in Ireland to fill the stadium.

Irish audiences are always great and I am not being partisan here either. I sure hope Wilco come here on the tour for the new record.

 

Cos if they don't I shall have to shoot Solace. Obviously.
