ND's Skylar Diggins -- As Good As Advertised!


Notre Dame fans will remember two years ago when word got out that Skylar Diggins walked into the ND locker room after a game -- wearing her high school varsity jacket -- to let Muffet McGraw know she was IRISH!

At the time -- Skylar was the most acclaimed high school star -- to ever commit to a University of Notre Dame women's athletic team.  Well, she's been as good as advertised.  On the biggest stage of her life last night -- she calmly led the Irish by the "bully" in women's college basketball. 

Can she do it again tomorrow night?  I believe she will do just that.

It's definitely going to be fun to watch!  And, you can be sure all eyes -- ESPECIALLY IRISH EYES -- will be on Skylar!  Here's a few links to some stories today about her importance to Notre Dame:
