I've been avoiding commenting on this story since I learned about it six hours ago...
Former Notre Dame OLB Andre Jones -- who's the father of current Irish WR Tailer "TJ" Jones -- died this morning from a brain aneurysm. Only 42 years young -- Andre was a member of Notre Dame's 1988 National Championship team.
I remember feeling so much joy for Andre Jones and his family when word got out that TJ had decided to commit to Dad's school. For Andre to then see his son run out of that tunnel with the gold helmet on -- and to see him play in his first game as a freshman starter -- wearing "their #7" -- what a special time for this family.
My prayers and I'm sure the prayers of the entire Notre Dame Family go out to Andre's wife Michelle and their five kids tonight -- what a loss...
