Skylar Diggins & The New York Times...

You've got to wonder when was the last time the New York Times Magazine profiled a Notre Dame athlete who didn't wear a gold helmet...

I'm guessing NEVER -- until now.

Notre Dame All-American Skylar Diggins -- the most famous student-athlete under the Golden Dome right now -- was featured in a profile in the New York Times Magazine -- that Irish fans will enjoy.

Here's the link:

Does CBS' Bruce Feldman Know Something?

CBS Sports' senior college football columnist Bruce Feldman came out today with his "Top 10 Most Intriguing Redshirt Freshman" -- or, as Notre Dame would say "sophomore's with four years of eligibility remaining."

And, at the very top of that list is EVERETT GOLSON, QB -- University of Notre Dame.

Bruce is obviously hearing what many close to the Notre Dame football program have been saying for the past few months -- Everett Golson is the REAL DEAL.

It's going to be an interesting SPRING here at Notre Dame.

The Man & Mind Behind Notre Dame Magazine

His name is Kerry Temple '74, and he's the award winning editor (since 1995) of the top college magazine on the planet -- Notre Dame Magazine.

I had the great pleasure this afternoon to sit down with Kerry for a couple of hours to talk about Notre Dame.

Ironically, we learned we have something in common beyond our love for Notre Dame and telling stories.  We were both born in the same hospital in Shreveport, LA!

Notre Dame Magazine -- is a true literary treasure.  

Kerry did give me a little scoop today that the Spring issue will feature a FASHION SECTION for the first time ever.  It sounds like Kerry and TEAM (Carol Schaal '91, John Munczunski, John Nagy '00, Kerry Prugh and Julie Ettl) had some great fun creating this issue -- as did some Notre Dame students who were commissioned as models for photo shoots.

Notre Dame Magazine has a circulation of 150,000 -- if you're not one of them, you need to be!  Here's a link to the magazine's website along with a link to how you can subscribe.   This is a "must have" for fans of the University of Notre Dame:
