Here is Notre Dame wide receiver (#10) Kris Mitchell walking from The Gug to the indoor practice facility this morning on campus. He's wearing the "gold" shoes that Under Armour gave each IRISH player for the College Football Playoffs.

The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame will remain in it's GOLD & BLUE for the game tomorrow night against Indiana. I'm personally glad we did...
