Five Days to Notre Dame Football!


If you're like me -- you can't wait to see what the Brian Kelly era is going to look like at Notre Dame! To get you ready for the start of the 2010 Football Season, you MUST WATCH this video put together by the team at www.und.com! Here's the link -- click on the ND Football Primer video:

Notre Dame's "Passport" to South Bend

The University of Notre Dame and the City of South Bend have teamed up in creating a program that encourages Notre Dame's 10,000+ students to visit South Bend parks, museums and other attractions. Students will receive a "cultural passport" that contains information on 14 area attractions. When Notre Dame students visit one of these sites, they will get their "passport" stamped and those who visit all 14 will receive a certificate signed by the Mayor and the Dean of their college. The photo above is of one of the attractions in their passport; the Permanent Collection of the South Bend Museum of Art. Here's a link to the South Bend / Mishawaka Convention & Visitors Bureau website and a link to the South Bend Museum of Art's website:

Charlie's Back In His Element...













Former Notre Dame Football Coach Charlie Weis is now the Offensive Coordinator of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs. I thought I'd check in on Coach Weis and I found this story that a Kansas City Star columnist wrote about the "two sides" of Charlie in their Sunday edition. I will always root for Coach Weis -- as he left the Notre Dame football program in far much better shape than what he inherited from Coach Willingham. Here's the link to the story:

Brian Kelly's "Rebuilding" Plans for ND

Found this interesting article last night that ran in Sunday's Grand Rapids Press. The West Michigan area has "adopted" Brian Kelly as one of its own from his days at Grand Valley State -- and the area's main newspaper, The Grand Rapids Press, has been quite kind to Coach Kelly since he was announced as Notre Dame's Football Coach. This story covers a number of subjects -- including "expanding" his office space in the Gug. You'll enjoy this article:
