Under the Dome much about other things. Definitely it���s difficult.��� ��� Former Irish linebacker Manti Te���o on distractions at the NFL Combine in February ���It���s like me telling you I just bought a pet monkey. You���re going to be like, ���So. Who cares?��� [Te���o] told us about his girlfriend, but it���s not like I���m going to be, ���What���s her social security number, where does she live, what does her mom do?������ ��� Former Notre Dame running back Cierre Wood to reporters at the NFL Combine on what he knew about Lennay Kekua ���I think that���s yet to de be determined. There���s still more to do. ��� There is sound character in that group. Guys listen to them because guys know they do things the right way. And they���re all true ND men. They���re all really passionate about Notre Dame.��� ��� Irish hockey coach Jeff Jackson on the legacy of his group of four graduating seniors ���Deafeningly, with all the delicacy of an air horn fired off an inch from their ears, every Irish coach and player and administrator received a new message [Feb. 28]: Prepare for just about anything now.��� ��� Brian Hamilton, Chicago Tribune, on how the Big East ���Catholic 7��� league may be changing Notre Dame���s conference plans Into The Lime Light Notre Dame���s men���s basketball team is planning on making a fashion statement during March Madness. The Irish unveiled new electric lime green uniforms that the team will wear during the Big East Championship and NCAA Tournament. Notre Dame is one of six teams sponsored by adidas that will be sporting brand new jerseys and Zubaz-patterned shorts during the next month. Much like the alternative football uniforms that caused a stink among some Irish fans, this new look is viewed by the coaching staff as mostly a recruiting ploy. ���I love ���em,��� head coach Mike Brey said. ���I saw the models, they showed them to me up in Chicago the day of the Miami football game. Adidas made a presentation to us. I said we���re going for it; I love it. ��� As I said when they asked me about the black uniforms, our players love it, and most importantly, that group of dudes I���m trying to get here over the next couple of years, I know they really love it.��� The women���s team also rolled out new, slightly more subtle jerseys for their postseason run. The ladies��� version is white with lime green lettering and numbers. Both the Notre Dame men���s and women���s basketball teams will wear alternate uniforms provided by adidas throughout their respective postseasons. Photo courtesy notre dame media relations
