Here's a link to four webcams situated all around Notre Dame Stadium -- giving you a LIVE LOOK at the construction going on at the HOUSE THAT ROCK BUILT.

Construction is set to be completed by the start of the 2017 football season.

If you look at the webcam that looks into the Stadium -- you'll note the old Press Box is gone...

The "Swish" Heard Round South Bend!

Nick Becker is a fifth grade basketball player here in South Bend -- who has aspirations to play football someday for the Fighting Irish...

Nick has Down syndrome.

Saturday, December 5th -- in a gym in South Bend, IN -- Nick Becker scored his first two points in a basketball game (he made his second shot too!).  He, his family and his friends scored more in the game of life...

There's a line in the Notre Dame Victory March "...what though the odds be great or small..."

I'm betting on Nick!

You're going to want to read this story...

Special thanks to Rick Becker -- Nick's Dad -- who sent me a note this morning alerting me to the video and story he had written about Nick's first bucket!

Army vs. Navy: America's Football Game!

My favorite "non-Notre Dame" football game EVERY YEAR -- it just doesn't get any better than this for me. 

I look forward to their MARCH ON into Lincoln Financial Field, CBS's game intro (last year's above) -- and the joy and despair at game's end...

I always find myself rooting for NAVY -- and I will again today.  Just hope it's a close game!

Will Fuller Named Notre Dame Football MVP

I will never forget a conversation I had with former Notre Dame Offensive Coordinator Chuck Martin, my Uncle Pat Sweeney and cousin Kevin Sweeney in the middle of the team's locker room at the Guglielmino Athletics Complex -- three years ago...

We had an impromptu conversation about the "star rankings" given to recruits when I asked Coach Martin this question;  "What incoming recruit do you think will surprise the most?"

His answer:  "We signed a wide receiver out of Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia named Will Fuller, that no one is talking about.  We believe he will be a big time player for us and he's only a so-called "three star" recruit.  He is really fast and he can high-point the ball..."

Prophetic.
