Notre Dame's Fishing Team at FLW Tournament

Yes, there's a bass fishing tournament for college teams (FLW Collegiate Bass Fishing Tournament) and Notre Dame had a team compete!

The team, made up of Notre Dame student-athletes Josh Anderson (football) and Bo Brauer (hockey) finished 17th out of 85 teams in the competition.  The tournament was held in Wisconsin on the Mississippi River -- see LA TIMES story below.

They caught the limit of five Bass -- that weighed 10.6 lbs. -- the winning team caught five fish that weighed a total of 14 lbs.

Have to thank ND GO IRISH regular Tommy Naccarato for alerting me to this story!

I'm not sure if former Notre Dame All-American Golden Tate still swings the golf club "cross handed" -- but, if he does -- you can expect it will be a subject of discussion when NBC televises the upcoming Celebrity Golf Classic in Lake Tahoe.

Golden is excited about playing in the event scheduled for July 22 - 24.

Plenty of Scheduling "Noise" for Notre Dame

Word broke in the last 24 hours that Notre Dame and Michigan would renew their rivalry as early as 2018.  It's being reported that Michigan would "buy-out" their contract with Arkansas to make this happen.

Still awaiting confirmation from Notre Dame that this is a done deal.

Also, the folks at Texas Christian University think they may also have a football game scheduled with the Fighting Irish in the very near future...
