Celebrating South Bend and Notre Dame
Well, we finally know what we suspected all along; Deuce Knight might be playing for Auburn next year. Might? Tyler Wojciak (who I think has the best Notre Dame podcast out there) did a great job of summarizing the career arc of college quarterbacks going back to 2019 and the results might be surprising to you. Listen in starting at about 5:00 and see a summary of his comments below:
Yes, this press release is from 2001 but it sums up the Jim Flanigan, Jr. I know nicely…
“Former Notre Dame football standout Jim Flanigan was named co-winner of the Walter Payton National Football League Man of the Year Award, which recognizes community service as well as playing excellence. Flanigan is the third Notre Dame graduate to win the award, joining Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann (’82) and Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson (’87). Past winners includes 12 members of the Hall of Fame.
Flanigan, an anchor of the Chicago Bears defensive line for seven years, makes a difference with the James Flanigan Foundation, which raises awareness of child literacy through efforts such as the Great American Book Drive, which delivers more than 700,000 books to 400,000 underprivileged children.
His programs include Reach Out & Read Chicago, the Flanigan Foundation Literacy Advocate Award, Mission 99, the James and Susan Flanigan Endowed Scholarship at Notre Dame, and the Jim Flanigan Charity Golf Outing.

“For those who know Notre Dame, no explanation is necessary. For those who don’t, no explanation will suffice.” Lou Holtz
Considered for many decades to be the most influential priest in America, Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh played what many consider pivotal roles in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs. American Priest examines his life and his many and varied engagements – from the university he led for 35 years to his associations with the Vatican and the White House – and evaluates the extent and importance of his legacy.

An introduction to Notre Dame’s 18th president from the people who know him best…
500 drones took to the skies to create a number of Notre Dame icons during the celebration of Rev. Robert A Dowd, C.S.C.’s inauguration.
“A Catholic university, according to my predecessor and brother in Holy Cross, Father Ted Hesburgh, “should be a bridge across all chasms that separate modern people from each other.”
Now, when I reflect on those words, I see a problem and an opportunity.
The problem is clear: Those chasms are widening.
And the opportunity is here: Notre Dame must be the bridge that Father Ted spoke of, and all of us must be bridge-builders.
But before I explore that idea, let me just say right now: I am honored to serve as Notre Dame’s 18th president, and I am deeply humbled by the trust shown in me. So many of you have reached out with words of encouragement. Thank you for all your support. Thank you for your continued prayers” Get the full transcript here: President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., Inaugural Address
