Domer Stams Leads Cleveland to "NFL Victory"
Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida -- Frank Stams knows all about the joy and pride of winning a title, having played a pivotal role as an All-American defensive end on the 1988 Notre Dame team that went undefeated and claimed the school's 11th national championship in football. On Saturday (October 23), more than three decades removed from that glorious celebration on the gridiron, it was Stams (former Cleveland Browns LB) who hit the key shot at the clutch moment to propel his team of five to triumph at the 41st NFL Alumni Super Bowl of Golf, at Mission Inn Resort.
Faced with a 50-yard pitch shot on the second hole of a Shoot-Out, Stams entertained the assembled onlookers with a series of humorous lines and lauded the event itself before calmly lofting his shot at the hole. The ball rolled toward the cup, lipped out and settled two feet away. Moments later, one of his teammates, Justin Sopko, tapped in the putt to secure the victory and set off a raucous celebration around the 18th hole of the El Campeon Course at Mission Inn.
"I had so much fun playing with this great group of
guys, and everyone contributed today to make it such a special
experience," said Stams, who had captained his team to victory at the Cleveland
Chapter championship to earn a spot in the Super Bowl of Golf. "I was
fortunate to be part of a national championship team at Notre Dame and this is every bit as exciting to me to share this title with this group. I know I speak for all of our in saying it's such a thrill to win this national championship!"

A Notre Dame Fan in Texas' Semi-Truck Cab!
His name is Steve Cott (Spring, TX) -- he's a grandson of Notre Dame alum Ray Tritz, '52 -- and he just converted his semi-truck cab to this!
Steve let me know he is a former graphic designer, who decided to leave that career behind for the happiness and freedom of driving a truck, all over America. Got to love this!
We're going to try to get Steve and his TRUCK (and maybe Grandpa Ray) to campus this next April during Notre Dame Day!

A Look Back at the First Half of Football Season
Thought I'd look at three stories that stand out after the first six football games of the 2021 Notre Dame Football season -- team #133 in the long storied history of this program...
THREE STORIES...
- Four (4) of the six opponents faced had at least two weeks to prepare for Notre Dame: Florida State, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech. This trend will continue in the 2nd half of the season, with these three (3) opponents having at last two weeks to prepare for their game with our Fighting Irish: University of Southern California, North Carolina and Virginia...
- Seven (7) "true freshmen" -- (I hate that term) have seen meaningful snaps on offense so far this season; Tyler Buchner, Blake Fisher, Joe Alt, Lorenzo Styles, Logan Diggs, Deion Colzie and Mitchell Evans. An "eighth" Cane Berrong (TE) has been involved in five plays on offense so far.
- Sixteen (16) players on the Notre Dame Football roster have been lost for at least one game so far this season due to injury -- and, a number of the following have been lost for the season: Marist Liufau, Blake Fisher, Michael Mayer, Kevin Bauman, Tyler Buchner, Osito Ekonwu, Joe Wilkins, Shayne Simon, Brendon Clark, Paul Moala, JoJo Johnson, Kurt Hinish, Will Schweitzer, Jacob Lacey, Michael Carmody, Tosh Baker.

Notre Dame Will Be On The ACC Network...
If you have intentions to watch Notre Dame's game vs. Virginia Tech this Saturday night -- you're not going to see it unless you have access to the ACC Network.
I "cut the cord' more than a year ago -- dropping cable TV to stream my programming through YouTube TV. The great thing about YouTube TV is that they have the ACC Network.
So, my advice to all of you who do not have the ACC Network on your cable system -- sign up TODAY to get YouTube TV -- last I knew they had a 7-Day Free Trial.
It's one way to watch Saturday's game!
