Three Domer NFL Players Unwind in Ireland...

Three former Notre Dame football players, who now play in the National Football League, traveled to Ireland earlier this month to get away for a week and explore...

Left to right in the photo above that's James Onwualu '17 (linebacker, San Francisco 49ers), Theodore Chapman (James' best buddy from his days growing up in Minneapolis), Romeo Okwara '16 (defensive end, Detroit Lions) and Isaac Rochell '17 (defensive end, Los Angeles Chargers)

It's nice to see these former Notre Dame teammates getting together in their off-season.

Notre Dame Mom Receives Major Honor...

WNDU-TV anchor Maureen McFadden was given the Sagamore of the Wabash award (learn more about the honor at the link below) today by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb.  Maureen, a Saint Mary's graduate and the mother of a Notre Dame alum (and two Indiana University alums) has teamed up with her Domer brother Terry McFadden here on the airways in South Bend.

The sister-brother anchor duo has had a long run together -- with just days to go -- as Maureen announced a few months ago that March 15th would be her last day, after nearly 40 years at the station...

That's Maureen in the photo above with her brother Terry...

Congrats Mo!
