Fighting Irish Wire Friends: The one where an all-time Notre Dame quarterback called us out

Every prank a friend by changing their listed birthday on Facebook to the current date? That’s pretty much what we did to @RickMirer and we apologize.

Technology is great, it truly is.  Until it isn’t.  Then it can be a real pain in the backside.  If you follow us on social media – and seriously, why on God’s green earth wouldn’t you (seriously – go follow us on Twitter immediately and like our Facebook page if you haven’t already), then you missed us sending a former Notre Dame quarterback birthday wishes on Wednesday night.

The only problem is that his birthday was in March. So we were either eight months late or four months early depending on your perspective.  Oh, and it wasn’t like a quarterback that played just a few games or one season or something, it was one of the best to ever do it at Notre Dame.

If you didn’t see it, here is how our interaction with Notre Dame legend and former second-overall NFL draft pick [autotag]Rick Mirer [/autotag]went last night:

Fighting Irish Wire apologizes for the endless birthday wishes and promises to find the bug in the system that keeps auto-posting that, 3.In the meantime, happy 30th anniversary to Mirer, Jerome Bettis, Reggie Brooks, and the rest of the 1992 team as the Snow Bowl was played 30 years ago earlier this week.

Even if it’s not your birthday we hope you accept our apologies and are able to enjoy one of your finest bottles of wine to forget about the ill-timed birthday messages we would have been responsible for you receiving.
