Under the Dome They Said It photo by joe raymond "My family is dependent on me in a way to be able to support them, whether it's with an NFL career or using my Notre Dame degree in a job where I can help them financially, at least until all of my siblings get through college. I need to work for my family. The social life and enjoying college life is all fine and well, but I'm here to get a degree and support my family in whatever way I can once I graduate, and that takes priority now." Senior wide receiver TJ Jones on how he has matured at Notre Dame, specifically since the death of his father (UND.com) "USC stands for University of Spoiled Children. Most of the football players chose USC over UCLA because it's easier to spell. I have great respect for Southern Cal and the people there, but it's not Notre Dame. We're Notre Dame, and they ain't, and that says it all. You come to Notre Dame to get two educations. You come here and get one on how to make a living. The other education you get is on how to live." — Former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz during the USC pep rally Oct. 18 "You can ask me how the Democrats and Republicans work together more so than putting the schedule together. I don't know how they put the schedule together. It's just a complicated moving of games with the ACC and trying to get alliances that have been out there with different contracts. And sometimes it just falls that way. I think this is more of a coincidence than it is, 'Hey, you know Coach Kelly would like to get both option teams together back-to-back weeks.' I don't think that conversation ever happened. — Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly on playing Air Force and Navy in consecutive weeks
