Here’s how the Absher family, Belmont has thrown its support behind Notre Dame football

Somewhere between trips to College Station, Texas, and West Lafayette, Indiana, or New York’s Yankee Stadium and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Chris Absher admits he’s lost track of how many miles his family has traveled following the Notre Dame football team this fall.

“Outside of the one in East Rutherford, New Jersey, when they faced Navy, we’ve been to every game,” he said. “That particular occasion was my daughter’s first college (game with the women’s wheelchair basketball team at the University of Alabama). Outside of that, we’ve been racking up some major mileage.”

It doesn’t take rocket science to figure where the Absher family will be Monday night, either.

Former South Point football standout Sullivan Absher is part of a Notre Dame team vying for the storied program’s first national title since 1988. The Fighting Irish will play Ohio State in the College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship, the game taking place Monday night at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

It will be Notre Dame’s second trip to Atlanta in the last few months, beating Georgia Tech 31-13 on Oct. 19, 2024. Such also works in the favor of the Absher family, Georgia’s capital city also marking their shortest trip for any game this season.

“It’s funny to think a three-hour drive would equate to a home game,” Chris said. “With that said, I’m definitely pleased to see the game is down this way. It’s really just a hop, skip and jump on Interstate 85; a little while later, you’re there.”

Sullivan Absher hopes to become the latest South Point…
