Drinkers at Trinity Hall Will Never Walk Alone

While enjoying a pint or two with friends at Trinity Hall Saturday morning, celebrating the start of the English Barclay’s Premier League 2007-2008 season, we pontificated on the abundance of Liverpool fans in attendance. The place was packed. We knew there would be some Reds fans there, as it is the headquarters for Dallas chapter of the Liverpool fan club. But we wondered if there were more fans there  on opening day than past years because of Tom Hicks’ involvement. Some of us thought Hicks’ name is mud in the sports world, and, if anything, his ownership would shame supporters. Others in our group (or maybe it was the same people, just a pint later) figured Hicks has taken pains to make Dallas Liverpool’s sister city–things like hosting a UEFA Champions League Finals watching party at the AAC. I forget what our group finally decided, and we were rooting for Aston Villa anyway. But here’s some important knowledge to have: Trinity Hall has a rule of two Irish Car Bombs (aka Peacemakers) per person. Probably wise.
