Here's a couple members of Celtic Women being interviewed on local TV in South Bend. They're performing a Christmas concert tonight at the Morris Performing Arts Center.
A suspect, after fleeing Mishawaka police -- ended up in Saint Mary's Lake (just behind Notre Dame's Grotto) in water up to his neck a little after noon today -- before his capture and arrest.
The suspect, claimed to have a gun -- but no gun was found on him. The Notre Dame campus was placed on "lock-down" during the chase.
The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame were well represented today in the National Football League...
Former Irish QB Jimmy Clausen (that's Jimmy after the game kissing his fiance) threw two TD passes today in the Bears 20 - 14 loss to the Detroit Lions -- key fact:
These are the first TD passes thrown by a ND QB in the NFL in more than two years (the last was thrown by Brady Quinn for the Kansas City Chiefs on December 2, 2012).
Here's a look at some of the highlights today from a number of former Notre Dame student-athletes now in the National Football League:
Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly met with the media today after the Fighting Irish's practice for the Music City Bowl. Here's a link as to what he had to say:
Les Miles was talking with reporters about the Music City Bowl game against Notre Dame -- got the sense he's not too worried about either Golson or Zaire...
I don't think there is another football team on the planet whose annual awards show is aired on one of the national sports networks... ONLY NOTRE DAME!
Be sure to tune-in this Saturday afternoon (December 20) at 1:30 PM ET to the NBC Sports Network to watch Skylar Diggins and Mike Mayock host ECHOES 14.
98 year-old Dr. Les Bodnar left for heaven this morning...
Bodnar served as Notre Dame Football's Team Doctor from Frank Leahy to Gerry Faust -- 35 years on the job -- while building his own private practice, South Bend Orthopedics.
He authored two books, served Joe Montana the legendary "chicken soup" in the Cotton Bowl game against Houston -- and worked the sidelines of four Notre Dame National Champions; 1949, 1966, 1973 and 1977.
He lived quite a life.
I want to thank ND GO IRISH BLOG regular Janet Geans for alerting me to this story.
Word on the street is former Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen will get his first NFL start (since 2010) when he leads the Chicago Bears against the first-place Detroit Lions this Sunday at Soldier Field.
Mike Brey's Fighting Irish have moved up in the polls to #21 in both the AP and Coaches Poll -- after the 20 point win over Florida State Saturday night.
Notre Dame is the "fifth" highest ranked team among the ACC schools.
Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly met with the media today after the Fighting Irish's third practice for the Music City Bowl game against LSU -- and he broke the news that both Everett Golson and Malik Zaire would play against the Tigers...

Mike Brey's Fighting Irish got the first crack against Florida State -- since "the flag" in Tallahassee -- and they delivered!
Notre Dame hammered the Seminoles 83 - 63 with a display of dunks like we haven't seen on this campus in a long-long time. It got so fun that the "twitter-verse" started renaming Purcell Pavilion to "Dunks DuLac."
Here's a look at the DUNKS along with a trip inside the Notre Dame locker room:
His name is Michael Ojo and he's a 7'-1" -- 290lb., basketball player at Florida State University.
It's going to be fun to see how #25 Notre Dame's "four-guard" offense deals with Ojo and the other two 7 foot-tall players on the Seminoles roster tonight.
Folks, I must admit I tear up every time I watch the "tease" videos that CBS creates for the Army Navy Game. If this doesn't get to you -- I'm afraid nothing will -- click on the link below.
