OT: Wallenda's Walk Across Niagara Falls


Nick Wallenda's 26 minute walk over Niagara Falls took place last night in front of a LIVE TV audience -- and I missed it!!!

I'm up at The Resorts of Tullymore spending time with my Dad for Father's Day and I brought a couple associates of mine along from the University of Notre Dame.  Our dinner conversation was so "engaging" last night we all completely forgot about Wallenda's walk...  Oh well, thanks for YOUTUBE!

Our youngest son Brady '14, attends Niagara University and our daughter Kara '10, attended St. Bonaventure University -- so our trips to see them in college have taken us to Niagara Falls many, many times these past six years or so.

If you haven't had the opportunity to see Niagara Falls -- it should be on your "bucket list."

Football 101: Notre Dame "Style"


More that 600 women participated in Notre Dame Football 101 this past Tuesday evening -- and as you'll see in the video there were thousands of smiles, laughs and dances...

Be sure to click on the photo of all of this fun!

Keeping Up With the Competition -- Big Money!

Don't look now but there's a new athletic facility coming to a town near you...

The folks at ESPN.COM just profiled 24 significant building projects taking place on college campuses that involve new and expanding athletic facilities.  Many of these projects involve Notre Dame opponents.

As they say -- college sports appears to be recession proof -- let's sure hope so!

Photo above is of that "school in southern California" who's getting a $110 million football facility...
