Collegial Spirit
I just wanted to thank you and coach
Brian Kelly for the "Poise Amid Noise"
article in the Sept. 30 edition of Blue &
Gold Illustrated.
After the success of last year, I've
been too caught up in judging this
year 's team by wins and losses. I
think we fans all need to remember
this program is special because it keeps
priorities in order.
1. Make a difference in the lives of the
young men who play football at Notre
Dame, most of whom won't be able to
make a career in the NFL. That means
a degree from a prestigious institution
and the priceless experience of big-time
college football.
2. Compete at the highest level, but
do it the right way, meaning within the
rules. I'm proud to be a fan of a school
that does it right.
3. Play the games fairly and within
the rules.
4. OK, now go out and win as many
games as you can.
My 97-year-old father and I love
to get on the phone or write letters
to discuss Notre Dame football. Your
publication means so much to him.
Ever since his freshman year at Notre
Dame in 1934, he has been hooked!
be heard!

And now I'm proud to say I've passed
on the Irish spirit to my two sons.

Grounds For Change
I attended the Oklahoma game. Even
though the score did not turn out the
way I wanted, I enjoyed my experience
at Notre Dame.
However, seeing the grounds crew
come out on the field at every time
out shows the need for FieldTurf. I just
imagined being a recruit at the game
and seeing that on only the third game
of the season the field is already coming
apart.
Notre Dame can have all the great
facilities, but if the game field can't
measure up, put in the FieldTurf.
