Our guy Dick Vitale (father of two Notre Dame graduates) made his return to the broadcast booth last night after being treated for cancer these past few months...
Dick -- we're glad you are back doing what you love -- and what we all love!

A Domer Dad & Great Notre Dame Friend...
Notre Dame's Annual Thanksgiving Video...
We made the decision this year to recognize the thousands of "unsung heroes" here at the University of Notre Dame. Their efforts kept the university up and running during the pandemic, while many other schools decided it was not worth the risk...
ln May of 2020, I watched singer/songwriter Jeffrey James (Brownsburg, IN) perform his song "We Can Be Heroes" on NBC's Songland. I immediately fell in love with the song and contacted Jeffrey's agent the very next day and suggested that we shoot a music video of this song on the Notre Dame campus.
I quickly learned that because Jeffrey had just performed the song on NBC and the show's staff had helped him re-write some lyrics and change up the melody -- that the song was off limits for a year...
Well, a year passed and Jeffrey's agent -- Chris Ferren reached out to me and as they say -- the rest is history.
The same week we shot the music video on campus, Jeffrey performed at our Friday Night Bash at Notre Dame Stadium -- the night before our game against Purdue.
Hope you like the music video and the story it tells. Please note, you're going to want to hang around and watch all of the credits...
