UNDER THE DOME "Michelle and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Father Ted Hesburgh. During his lifetime of service to his country, his church and his beloved University of Notre Dame, Father Hesburgh inspired generations of young men and women to lead with the courage of their convictions. … His belief that what unites us is greater than what divides us made him a champion of academic freedom and open debate. … Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his friends and the Notre Dame community that loved him so dearly." — Barack Obama, President of the United States, in a statement on the passing of Father Ted Hesburgh "I was almost giddy with excitement, just because of my experi- ence here as a high school sophomore and junior, and also my experience recruiting against Notre Dame at Stanford. I've always had so much respect for this program and Coach [Brian] Kelly, and now I have a chance to be a part of what I consider to be the mecca of college football." — New Notre Dame offensive coordinator Mike Sanford on joining the Irish staff "He has the best combination of scoring, setting up his team- mates and playing defense of any point guard in the country. Ranks first in the ACC in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio, while also ranking fifth in steals and fifth in points." — Sports Illustrated/CBS college hoops analyst Seth Davis on ranking senior Irish guard Jer- ian Grant as the best point guard in college basketball "I have no idea, I wish I knew. I really just went in, my philosophy is I'm always just going to be myself, and if that's not good enough then it's just not in the plans and God didn't have it for me. I did my normal routine, I prayed before I went in, I talked to my beautiful wife who's always my cheerleader, and I was just myself." — New Notre Dame running backs coach Autry Denson on how he sold head coach Brian Kelly to hire him in his interview BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED P.O.
