Harangody just a few games away from history!


Notre Dame senior, Luke Harangody is on the verge of breaking scoring and rebounding records at Notre Dame and in the Big East. Harangody is on pace to pass Lawrence Moten, the former Syracuse standout, as the leading scorer in Big East play in seven games and former Notre Dame great Austin Carr (1968-71) as the school's leading scorer in nine games. The Irish have 10 regular-season games before the Big East tournament and the postseason. Luke is also on pace to set the league rebounding record held by Syracuse's Derrick Coleman (1986-90). And, has an outside shot of breaking the school rebounding record held by Tom Hawkins (1956-59), though he trails Hawkins by 162 rebounds.

My favorite ND TV Commercials

I sure wish Adidas and ND would go "old school" and bring back some of their old TV spots. Now, it's been a few years since these aired in the 90's, and High Definition wasn't "invented" yet -- so the quality is not the best. Yet, I'm confident they'll make you smile and feel good about being part of the Notre Dame family. Enjoy.

ND Athletics joins in the relief efforts for Haiti

Fighting Irish Offensive Guard, Chris Stewart was one of the many Notre Dame athletes who took part in Notre Dame's effort to raise money for Haiti Relief during last Saturday's home basketball game. Stewart has a connection to Haiti, having spent some time there last March, completing his service work for a class at Notre Dame. Here's a link to a news story that aired on WNDU-TV.

Don't try this at home!


Or, at least not in public. Something tells me that Dr. Kenneth Dye won't be adding this instrument to the Band of the Fighting Irish. Could you do this with a straight face?
