Today Is My Fifth Anniversary at Notre Dame...


1,825 days ago I walked into a building off Eddy Street to start my first day of employment here at the University of Notre Dame.

I remember sitting in the first meeting with my new Notre Dame teammates;  Bob Quakenbush, Chas Grundy, Jen Hengehold, Jody Sadler and Fr. Ralph Haag, C.S.C.  I gave each a booklet entitled "The Small Things In Life" -- which shared my thoughts on food, language and life.  I'm sure they were thinking to themselves; "who is this crazy guy...?"

I'm sure they still do.

Over the next 1,824 days we lost a few of these teammates and continued to add more talent to our Storytelling & Engagement Team;  Brandon Tabor, David Chaudoir, Michael Rodio, Travis Mather, Lin Wang, Terry Howard, Catey Traylor, Kennedy St. Charles, Grace Prosniewski -- and most recently, Jim Gosz and Patrick Borders.  We'll soon be adding Matt Gelchion and a "writer to be named later..."

This team has proven time and time again that they "can leap tall buildings in a single bound."  It's been special.

I've also had the honor of reporting to three very talented, passionate and dedicated professionals; Lou Nanni, Shannon Cullinan and Micki Kidder -- during my time here.  I want to thank each of them for trusting us to do what is right for Notre Dame.

It's been great FUN.

As I wrap up day #1,825 -- please know I'm not one to spend much time looking back -- I'm driven by what's next.  Thus, I pray I'm given many more days to serve Notre Dame.

It's not a job -- it's a passion.

I am one lucky guy.

Go Irish!

Does Winning ACC Games Really Matter?


I'm being facetious...

But, if you compare the AP Top 25 Rankings for Men's College Basketball -- and compare it with the ACC Conference Standings -- here's what you'd find:

 TEAM                    AP RANK         ACC RECORD

Duke                        #7                     2 - 3
Florida State             #9                     4 - 1
North Carolina          #11                   4 - 1
Louisville                  #14                   3 - 2
Virginia                     #19                   3 - 2
NOTRE DAME          #20                    5 - 0


Do the voters just vote on reputation?

If yes, wouldn't you think the only team in this group (and the country) who has been to "back to back" ELITE EIGHT games -- gets the reputation vote?

Maybe that happens next week for Notre Dame...

Defining Chip Long's RPO Offense For ND Fans


You're going to hear a term called "RPO" a lot these next few months -- which stands for "run, pass option."

Which simply means this -- the offensive line will show more of a run blocking scheme on passing plays, which causes major issues for a defense...

Read this story for more detail.
