Former Notre Dame star, Brady Quinn, is in his first training camp with the Denver Broncos -- after being traded in the offseason to Denver from Cleveland. One of Brady's fans has put together a nice website that tracks Quinn's progress in the Mile High City. Good Luck Brady! Here's the link:
Jimmy Clausen is getting over the jitters of being in his first NFL Training Camp. The second round draft pick, out of Notre Dame, is currently running as the third string QB for the Carolina Panthers. Here's a link to an ESPN story on Clausen's first day -- as well as a link to a NFL site that's selling Clausen's new jersey:
The incoming freshman class at the University of Notre Dame (the Class of 2014) may well be its most accomplished in the classroom yet. Those who were admitted early were in the top 3.3% of their high school class, scored an average 1460 on the SAT (composite of the Math and Science scores) and had an average ACT score of 33.1. In addition, more than 400 Valedictorians who applied to Notre Dame were not accepted. Better keep studying and getting involved in extracurricular activities at your school and in your community!!! The photo (above) is of Katie Washington, the Valedictorian for Notre Dame's Class of 2010. Here's a link to an Observer article about Notre Dame's Class of 2014 along with a link to a site that claims to track admittance results for all Notre Dame students - including those on athletic scholarships:
It's been a couple of days since the University of Notre Dame's Dean of the College of Science, Greg Crawford and his wife Renate Crawford have posted an update on their blog -- they're probably quite tired! This photo shows the pair climbing a "hill" (in Michigan we call it a mountain), during their ride through New Mexico. A 25 mile climb from 4,600 ft. in elevation to nearly 9,000 ft. above sea level -- on their ride from Tucson, AZ to the Notre Dame campus. The Crawford's are "bringing home" the relationship between the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation and the University of Notre Dame. I believe they're in western Texas by now - here's a link to their blog:
