he main entrance of
Notre Dame���s Guglielmino Athletics Complex that houses the
Fighting Irish football
program features various individual and team
awards accrued through
the years.
In 2013, a new wing
might need to be added
to accommodate all the
hardware from the 2012
season.
Senior linebacker
Manti Te���o alone could
succeed John Madden as
the new national spokesman for Ace Hardware
after accumulating an
NCAA-record seven individual trophies, not including the ARA Sportsmanship Award.
On Dec. 6, The Home
Depot College Football
Awards show on ESPN
could have been more
aptly titled ���Notre Dame
Night In Orlando.���
