Home Opener: Final Notes (9/6/10)

Appearances. A leaner BK ran onto the field wearing a sporty ND warm-up top with a white collared shirt underneath.

At the post-game press conference, he was neatly groomed with a Friday fresh Armando haircut (no issue with an incorrigible cowlick that Armando…

ND v. BC 10/23/09

Greetings Friends- I am having an excellent ND vacation this week following the disappointing USC loss and in anticipation of BC this weekend. However, the storms began at 1:00am this morning and the rain is torrential—Biblical proportions. The forecast for Saturday is very unpleasant with a rain and sleet mix. I have it confirmed from Armando that The Big Man had his hair cut at 6:00am this morning. Armando refuses…
