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!

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.

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.

Ranked Teams On Notre Dame's Schedule...


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
  • Alabama: 3 opponents; Texas A&M, LSU and Auburn

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.

Notre Dame Football on NBC Sports Network


If I wasn't going to the game -- this is the channel where I would be tuning in to for today's Boston College vs. Notre Dame football game.  NBC Sports Network will have a "Notre Dame" crew handling the broadcast...

You can watch this -- rather than listening to a BC grad (Flutie) and a Syracuse grad (Tirico) on NBC.
