It's not hard to see why recruits view The University of Notre Dame as cool again.
We have ALL the ingredients. We don't have any excuses left ☘️🔔
#71 days until Notre Dame Football returns so it’s a great time to flashback to the 1971 Cotton Bowl where Joe Theisman led Notre Dame to a 24-11 victory over Texas! ☘️
The victory by Notre Dame snapped the top-ranked Texas Longhorns' 30-game winning streak and dashed their hopes for a second consecutive national championship.
Why Notre Dame?
“One Saturday morning during my senior year of high school I popped in this video tape called “Wake up the Echoes.” No one was home & I started watching it & the video gave me goose bumps. At that moment I thought, ‘Screw it. I’m going to Notre Dame.'” 💙💛
Today we honor Michael McGreevy, a Navy SEAL officer who embodied Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Michael excelled as an athlete, leader, and warrior. After serving as a Surface Warfare Officer, he attended BUD/S, graduating as the Honor Man of his class in 2000. Known to friends as "Groove," he deployed in support of the Global War on Terror and answered the call wherever his nation needed him.
On June 28, 2005, Michael was among 16 American heroes aboard an MH-47 Chinook helicopter sent to reinforce a four-man SEAL reconnaissance team engaged in a fierce battle against overwhelming Taliban forces in the mountains of Afghanistan.
The helicopter was shot down during the rescue mission. Michael, seven fellow SEALs, and eight Army Night Stalkers gave their lives in a courageous attempt to save their teammates.
That same battle claimed the lives of SEALs Michael P. Murphy, Matthew Axelson, and Danny Dietz, who fought with extraordinary courage against overwhelming odds. Their actions became one of the most revered examples of selfless service in Naval Special Warfare history.
Family and friends remember Michael not only for how he died, but for how he lived. Long before he became a SEAL, he stood up for those who could not defend themselves and refused to tolerate bullying or injustice.
Michael McGreevy's legacy lives on through the men he served with, the family he loved, and a grateful nation that will never forget his sacrifice.
Fair Winds and Following Seas, Lieutenant McGreevy
One day, you'll bury your dad, and that's the day you'll realize you lost the only man who genuinely wanted you to do better than him.
Take care of him if he's alive.
Marine Sergeant David Caruso, 2nd Force Reconnaissance Company, killed in action in Fallujah, Iraq, November 9, 2004.
A Naperville, Illinois native, Caruso had his heart set on the Marine Corps since the 8th grade. Once in uniform, he stacked qualification on qualification, graduating Marine Recon school, Army Ranger school, jump school, and military freefall, working reconnaissance for Marine special operations.
He had been in Iraq since August 2004. The week he died, he called home to Naperville, as he had every week for five years, and told his parents they wouldn’t hear from him for a while because his unit was going to do some stuff.
That stuff was the Second Battle of Fallujah, the fiercest urban fight American forces faced in the entire Iraq war. He was killed in action there at 25.
Those who served alongside him remembered a man who embodied the term Recon Marine, a teammate of the highest caliber, the kind of brother other Marines still think of when they get tired or start to lose their way.
Rest easy, Marine. Semper Fi.
#80 days until Notre Dame Football returns so it’s a great time to flashback to Sept. 20, 1980 where Harry Oliver kicked a 51yd FG to beat Michigan 29-27!
Featuring the call from the legendary Tony Roberts. This was his first season calling Notre Dame games on the radio and this call would be the beginning of a legendary career! RIP Tony! ☘️
