Happy New Year to My Notre Dame Family!

I'm back...

Took a little family trip and forgot the POWER CORD to my laptop -- the longest I've ever been away from this blog since I started this six years ago.

SORRY!!!

Plenty happened while I was away:

• Brian Polian's hire became official
• Mike Denbrock (a great representative of Notre Dame) left for Cincinnati
• Chris Long has been rumored to be hired -- ND has yet to make it official
• Muffet's Irish lost their 2nd game in ACC history
• And, Mike Brey's Irish won a big one in OT yesterday!
