And the winner...

Photo of the Day: Creativity At Its Best!

University of Notre Dame's Don Schindler just "re-tweeted" this photo (originally tweeted by Tim O'Connor) from Matt Cashore's vast library of ND photos.  You've got to love the creativity & ingenuity of the Notre Dame student body!

Must See TV: Semper Fidelis Bowl @ 6 PM ET

Notre Dame fans will want to find the CBS SPORTS NETWORK on their cable system this afternoon -- because at 6 PM ET the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl will be televised.

This inaugural all-star game from Phoenix will feature a few future IRISH stars:  Tee Shepard (wearing jersey #2 for the WEST), Deontay Greenberry (wearing jersey #1 for the WEST), Justin Ferguson (wearing jersey #10 for the EAST),  Mark Harrell (wearing jersey #74 for the EAST), Sheldon Day (wearing jersey #91 for the EAST) and Ronnie Stanley (wearing jersey #79 for the WEST).  Five of the six ND commits are in the photo above.

Should be great fun!  Here's the link to the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl website along with a link to the CBS SPORTS NETWORK site -- and a tool to assist you in finding their channel in your area:
