Jerian Grant -- Off to a Good Start in NYC!
Here's a nice story about former Notre Dame All-American Jerian Grant and his relationship with NBA veteran and New York Knick teammate Jose Calderon.
Jerian made his NBA debut last night against the Milwaukee Bucks and produced these numbers in 24 minutes of action in the Knicks 122 - 97 road win:
- 10 points
- 5 assists (tied for most on the team)
- 3 steals
GREAT START!!!
FYI: Pat Connaughton did not see action in the Portland Trail Blazers' opening game loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Domer Dad Torii Hunter, Sr. -- Retires from MLB
Notre Dame Dad Torii Hunter, Sr. (father of Fighting Irish wide receiver Torii Hunter, Jr.) called it a career yesterday as he announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after 19 years in the big leagues...
What a career it was!
- 19 seasons
- 9 Gold Gloves
- 5 All-Star Game selections
- 309 home runs
- 195 stolen bases
How's this -- he turned 40 years-old this past July and he still produced these types of numbers for the Twins in his final season:
- 22 home runs
- 81 RBI
To put Torii Hunter's career in perspective -- there's only one man in the history of baseball who has more than 9 Gold Gloves, 309 home runs and 195 stolen bases -- WILLIE MAYS.
Torii Hunter was a great teammate -- a class act -- Major League Baseball loses a gem today.
It will be nice seeing him around Notre Dame a little more often!

Must See: There is a Game at Notre Dame

OT: I Have Never Seen This on a Football Field
I made the trek up to Big Rapids Saturday to see the #3 ranked Ferris State Bulldogs host the #16 ranked Huskies of Michigan Tech.
Ferris won 24 - 14 to remain undefeated!
What caught me off guard was the photo above -- this is Ferris State's "standard" punt formation. TWO PUNTERS -- one a right-footed kicker, the other a left-footed kicker.
Ferris makes the call at the line of scrimmage as to which punter will take the snap...
Maybe that school in Ann Arbor should have tried this...
