Happy Halloween From Our Granddaughter!
Our "almost 11 month old" granddaughter Kinley is modeling her first ever Halloween costume today in Vero Beach, FL. Our daughter Kara crafted this ensemble...
Very creative!
It's too bad King's Hawaiian isn't looking for a poster child!
OT: I Wonder If This Has Happened Before...
I am a life-long Detroit Tigers' fan -- this starting rotation couldn't win a World Series in Detroit -- however, within five years of leaving Motown, they all have World Series Rings.
Frustrating.

The Aftermath -- Michigan Athletics and Media
Dear @NDFootball,
we need to take a break. We’ve been doing this for a while now and we
need our space. We’re glad we could end on good terms, thank you for not
being defensive. Let’s keep in touch and maybe we’ll try again in 14
years if you’re still independent. 👋

Strong stuff from
@UMichFootball
tonight - satisfying rebound for the just the 2nd Top 10 win under
Harbaugh... but disappointing No-Show by @NDFootball
(as Kirk perfectly put it). Can’t blame it all on the weather. I Hoped
for much more in last series meeting until 2033..

Can’t decide if I
was more impressed with @UMichFootball
last night or more disappointed in @NDFootball
and their lack of competitive spirit!
UM has become a
different team in the last 6 quarters and will be dangerous for anyone
they play. ND?? Not even sure what to say.

THAT CHANGES TONIGHT!
Go Irish!

Notre Dame's Men's Golf Team WINS AGAIN!
The 7th ranked Fighting Irish became the first team in the country to win four tournaments! Notre Dame won the Quail Valley Collegiate Tournament in Vero Beach, FL yesterday!
That's the winning team with some of their parents in the championship photo -- above!
Notre Dame is now 66 - 2 on the season -- the best fall season in the history of our men's golf program!
In addition -- freshman star Palmer Jackson, won his first collegiate tournament -- posting a (-16) score for the three round tournament. His birdie putt on the final hole gave Notre Dame a one-stroke victory in the team competition!!!
