Our friends at Olive Garden offered to send the ND GO IRISH BLOG a $15 gift certificate -- redeemable at anyone of their more than 700 restaurants across America & Canada -- if we were to agree to let Notre Dame fans know about their "My Never Ending Pasta Bowl" promotion that's going on in their restaurants until October 10th. (We're going to use the gift certificate in a ND GO IRISH BLOG contest -- once it arrives). Here's the details on the "My Never Ending Pasta Bowl" promotion:

This past Saturday, Notre Dame freshman WR T.J. Jones became a YOUTUBE Legend. Thankfully, that's the only result he and the Irish football program had to deal with after he forgot to cross the goal line with the football. As of this morning, almost 800,000 people have already tuned in to this video. If Michigan had not scored at the end of the game -- this would have been talked about for years. Here's the link:
Here's some video of the Irish getting off their buses at Spartans Stadium at 5:30 PM last night for their "walk-thru." The WNDU-TV crew caught up with Coach Kelly as well. The photo is of Dayne Crist, Irish QB, getting off their slick looking bus. Here's the link:
