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...
