Domer John Sullivan's Super Bowl Chance...



I'll be rooting for the one-time college roommate of my son Jimmy '08 -- they were roommates on paper before Jimmy showed up for his first day in Dillon Hall and he was moved to another room, leaving Sullivan and Trevor Laws in a room alone...  

The interview above took place before the season started.

John Sullivan, in his eleventh year in the NFL, is the starting center for the Los Angeles Rams -- and one of two Notre Dame alums left in the NFL Playoffs with a chance to play in the Super Bowl.

Manti Te'o -- is on the Saints' roster -- though he was a healthy scratch for their NFL Playoff game last week...

Thus, I'm all in for Sullivan and the Rams -- here's some recent stories about John;

Chloe Agnew Reppin' Notre Dame in TEXAS!


The former member of Celtic Woman -- has adopted the University of Notre Dame as her school.  Chloe flew in from Dublin (Ireland) the day before the Cotton Bowl to perform at a couple university events...

Just a couple of hours before game time, Chloe jumped up on stage at Texas Live, the sports bar adjacent to AT&T Stadium and got the ND fans in the house "fired up" with her a cappella rendition of HERE COME THE IRISH!

I love how the crowd joined in...

Chloe will be back on campus during Notre Dame Day 2019 -- April 28th and 29th -- and will perform a few times over the weekend.

Here's a video of Chloe performing Here Come The Irish at last year's Notre Dame Day celebration:

Defending ACC Champs Come to ND Thursday



The #2 ranked Louisville Cardinals play our #1 ranked Fighting Irish tomorrow night at Purcell Pavilion.

Some may remember what happened between the Louisville head coach and Muffet the last time they met.  Something tells me they're not pen pals...

Going to be fun tomorrow night -- a few tickets are still available!
