We are saddened by the sudden passing of Dan Hicks, longtime NBC sports broadcaster, @NDFootball play-by-play announcer and husband of 1983 graduate Hannah Storm.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones.
Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history.
From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades.
But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.
The entire Tottenham family mourns the loss of one of our own, broadcasting legend Danny Kelly.
Our thoughts and love are with his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.
Rest in peace, Danny 🤍
So to confirm 2 loss Bama is.
1 spot ahead of undefeated UCLA.
2 spots ahead of 1-loss Notre Dame, who just beat the #1 team in the country.
3 spots ahead of Texas, who has the same amount of losses and way more impressive wins.
5 spots ahead of 2-loss Tennessee, who beat the shit out of them.
6 spots ahead of 1-loss defending champion Indiana, who dropped 5 spots after a bye.
Sureeeeeeeeeeeee

I genuinely thought a secondary featuring Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, Marcus Jones, Kevin Byard and Craig Woodson had the potential to be a top-five unit in the NFL.
Instead, Jordan Love has 270 passing yards and 2 TDs midway through the third quarter. Matthew Golden and Christian Watson have combined for 253 receiving yards.
This secondary has been a massive disappointment.
Who is number 28 on Notre Dame’s defense? Not even the Notre Dame fans around me could tell me who it was, and there was no reception in that stadium.
Absolute beast.
Meanwhile, this was Marcus Freeman’s response when asked about the controversial no-call on a potential pass interference penalty late in the fourth quarter against BYU:
“It is what it is. I know people are going to look for me to put blame on somebody else. That’s not what we do around here. We own it. And we’ve got to be better and we’ve got to execute, no matter what the situation is.”
