When Did the WSJ Turn Into a Sports Paper?

Some of the more engaging stories these past few weeks on Notre Dame football have come from the Wall Street Journal -- can you believe it!

Here's another fun story about Notre Dame's game with Alabama:

Looks Like We'll Have Some Fans in Bama!

The students at Auburn have created these "WAR IRISH" t-shirts to wear to show they're rooting for Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship game...

Does that mean "half the state" of Alabama will be rooting for ND?

Manti Te'o -- Butkus Award Winner!!!

This is the first HONOR of many this week for Notre Dame's two-time All-American Linebacker -- as Dick Butkus personally called Manti to let him know he's been selected to win the award. 

He'll be presented the Butkus Award on December 17th on the Notre Dame campus.

Manti Te'o is the first Notre Dame player to ever receive this award.

Congratulations Manti!
