Mom is Ready For Notre Dame vs. Clemson!
My dad just forwarded me this photo of my mom's grave site at St. Michael's Parish in Mecosta County, Michigan...
What you can't see is Mom's grave stone, the snow and ice was too difficult for my dad to clear off.
What you do see is the ever present can of Coca-Cola (my mom's favorite drink), a Notre Dame hat (her favorite college) and a Christmas wreath. My dad dropped off the hat and wreath this morning...
So, Mom's ready for the game.
GO IRISH! BEAT CLEMSON! (AGAIN)
This is a MUST READ for Notre Dame Fans...
We're going to continue to see many in the media pushing the narrative about Notre Dame football joining the ACC permanently.
Their motive -- to make Notre Dame like all the others.
Well, Yahoo! Sports Dan Wetzel -- took a stand today for Notre Dame's independence. BRAVO!

Rose Bowl -- Absolutely No Spectators...
It has been 95 years since the University of Notre Dame has played in the Rose Bowl.
It is the one BOWL GAME I've always wanted to see our beloved Fighting Irish play in. And, wouldn't you know it -- at present, we're trending to play in this game...
Unfortunately -- the Rose Bowl announced today that NO ONE, not even the players' families will be allowed in to see this years Rose Bowl game. Unbelievable.
