NCAA Selection Show: 5 PM ET on CBS
Well, we'll soon know what Notre Dame's path will be to an NCAA Championship -- CBS' Selection Sunday show begins at 5 PM ET today...
After watching the IRISH these past few days -- I believe we have another March run in us.
Notre Dame is seeded as high as a THREE and as low as a SIX -- in the "bracketology" predictions linked below:

An ACC Championship "Turned on an Ankle..."
Notre Dame led 58 - 55 (with 8 minutes left ) when Bonzie Colson twisted an ankle and left the game...
He only scored 3 points and grabbed one rebound the rest of the way. He had 26 points and 8 boards over the first 32 minutes of the game.
We were so close...

Notre Dame Hockey's -- Last Hockey East Run!
The hottest team in college hockey right now -- your Fighting Irish!
Notre Dame is 7 - 1 - 1 in their last nine games after this weekend's sweep over 10th ranked Providence in the Hockey East Quarterfinals!
The Irish move on to Boston's TD Gardens Friday night to play a "team to be named later today."
It all hinges on the outcome of today's UMass Lowell vs. New Hampshire game. Hockey East will re-seed the final four teams prior to Friday night's games:
- If UMass Lowell wins -- the Irish will play them.
- If New Hampshire wins -- the Irish will play Boston College.
This is Notre Dame's "swan-song" with Hockey East -- as we move on to the Big Ten (that is not a typo) to play hockey next year. It should be noted, the Fighting Irish won the CCHA tournament in the last year we played in that hockey conference.
Stay tuned!

OT: Michigan Forced to Wear Practice Jerseys
Hats off to our friends in Ann Arbor today...
The Michigan Wolverines' charter jet's aborted take-off and crash on Wednesday -- led to the NTSB/FAA not releasing the gear in the cargo hold of the plane, until they complete their investigation.
So, Michigan had to pass on wearing their game uniforms (locked in the plane) for practice gear. And, they proceeded to hammer Illinois 75 - 55 in their Big Ten Tournament game.

My Dad, a Former Detroit Tiger Turns 80 Today!
My Dad (his rookie card with the Detroit Tigers above) -- Jim Small -- just completed his 80th lap around the Sun today! Happy Birthday Dad!
One of my two favorite poems is this below -- and a "name" is what my Dad gave me many years ago...
Your Family Name
You got it from your father
It was all he had to give
So it's yours to use and cherish
For as long as you may live
If you lost the watch
he gave you
It can always be replaced;
But a black mark on your name
Can never be erased
It was clean the day you took it
And a worthy name
to bear
When he got it from his father
There was no dishonor there
So make sure you guard it wisely
After all is said and done
You'll be
glad the name is spotless
When you give it to your son
