USC Goes "Interim" Again vs. Notre Dame
USC AD Pat Haden announced today that the Trojans would be coached by interim head coach Clay Helton as Steve Sarkisian was placed on a leave of absence...
ND fans may remember that the last time USC came to town in 2013 they had an interim head coach in Ed Orgeron for the game against our Irish. ND beat USC 14 - 10 that night.
Here's the story...

Domer Matteoni Authors a Book on Sitting Bull
I had the great pleasure of meeting Norm Matteoni '63 -- a graduate of Notre Dame Law School -- and his beautiful wife Pam, a few weeks ago at a dinner here on campus.
Norm, a legal scholar with a successful law practice in Los Gatos, CA -- has a passion for the American West.
During dinner I learned Norm attended Bellarmine Prep High School in San Jose at the same time my Dad did back in the mid 50's. I was honored to be able to reconnect the two Bellarmine "Bells" a couple of days later prior to the Texas vs. Notre Dame game
In his spare time, Norm found the time to write a book called Prairie Man: The struggle between Sitting Bull and Indian Agent James McLaughlin.
Here's a Mercury News story about Norm and Prairie Man -- and a second link to where you can buy it from Amazon.
I highly recommend you buy this book!
