The Media the Mornin' After a "Sweet" Victory


The news of the passing of Betty Brey -- Coach Brey's 84 year-old Mom -- put a damper on any post game celebrating for the Fighting Irish.  Betty, a former world-record holder in the 100 Fly and 1956 US Olympian -- died of an apparent heart attack yesterday morning.

The OT victory over Butler was a HUGE win for Notre Dame as they get back to the SWEET SIXTEEN for the first time in 12 years -- here's the media's post game reports:

Prayers for Coach Mike Brey's Family Tonight...


Mike Brey's Mom passed away Saturday morning at the age of 84 from a heart attack...

Now I understand the emotional hug Jack Swarbrick gave to Coach Brey at game's end.

Coach Brey will head to Orlando today to be with his Dad and siblings -- to mourn the loss of his Mom -- will be back at Notre Dame on Monday.

PRAYERS.
