I am going to jump on the soapbox for a couple of minutes this morning...
An ESPN story labels Notre Dame defensive lineman Louis Nix a "red-shirt junior" -- inferring that he's leaving school early for the NFL.
LOUIS NIX is a SENIOR.
Folks, Louis is a member of Notre Dame's Class of 2014 -- graduating a semester earlier than most of his classmates. He's not leaving early, he's leaving on time. He wasn't ready to play football as a freshman, so he didn't see the field. But, he went to class...
We should celebrate him LEAVING ON TIME for the NFL!
