Their First Time Experiencing Notre Dame...
Mike and Melissa Palelli made their first-ever visit to the campus of the University of Notre Dame this weekend and they made it very special...
Melissa was celebrating her 40th birthday -- so Mike (a member of the United States Coast Guard) surprised his wife with a trip to see her long-time favorite college football team, the Fighting Irish. Melissa was introduced to Notre Dame Football by her Dad -- watching games on TV back home in Massachusetts.
Saturday morning -- Mike got down on one knee and "re-proposed" to his wife, inside Notre Dame Stadium, giving Melissa a "Notre Dame Claddagh Ring" to go with her wedding ring.
Mike and Melissa -- hope to see you back at Notre Dame again, soon!
Domer Hornung's "Heisman House" Debut!
He's the only Heisman Trophy winner in history on a "losing team" -- as his 1956 Notre Dame team went 2-8...
I doubt this will ever happen again.

One Last Time for Notre Dame's Class of 2020
This is what Notre Dame Stadium looked like -- forty-seven minutes after the 40-7 win over Boston College. Members of Notre Dame's Class of 2020 were invited onto the field, along with the Fighting Irish who wore their Gold Helmets for the last time in the House That Rock Built.

With just one game left on Notre Dame's 2019 football schedule -- I thought I'd take a look at all of the teams that have been ranked, at some point this season -- that the Fighting Irish have played...
TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN RANKED -- SEVEN!
Here's the current Top 10 ranked teams -- and how many teams on their schedule that have been ranked:
- LSU: 4 opponents; Texas, Florida, Auburn and Alabama
- Ohio State: 5 opponents; Indiana, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan
- Clemson: 2 opponents; Texas A&M and Wake Forest
- Georgia: 4 opponents; Notre Dame, Florida, Auburn and Texas A&M

So, if you hear anything about STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE, or NOTRE DAME DOESN'T PLAY IN A CONFERENCE or, NOTRE DAME DOESN'T PLAY ANYBODY -- use this ammunition.

Ever Wonder Why It's Called Angela Blvd.?
Angela Blvd., the road that leads most visitors to the campus of the University of Notre Dame, is named after Mother Angela Gillespie, the long time Superior of Saint Mary's Academy -- now called Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN.
Mother Angela served as a nurse for the U.S. Army during the Civil War -- she and more than 80 other nuns left the school and their congregation to serve our country, over that four-year period in American history.
