Editor’s Note: Thomasooooooooo is my 9 year old nephew. He is one great kid and he enjoyed the kids’ camp at ND this year, and we thought a blog post would be a great thing. Enjoy!
This is cool, folks.
This camp offers grades 2-6 advanced footballs skills. They teach you how to strip the ball, tackle and many other defensive skills. They also teach you catching, throwing and other offensive drills. My team Captain was Manti Te’o. My favorite drill was cutbacks with Theo Riddick.
Every day they have guest speakers. In 2012, one talked about respect and another talked about listening with your eyes and your ears. He also talked about how not all kids can come to camp so you shouldn’t take the opportunity for granted.
One of the days you walk up to the stadium for a locker room tour. You also get a picture taken with Coach Kelly. You even get the players’ and coaches’ signatures. I really think other kids should try to go too.
Great work, Thomassssooooooo, very proud of you! – Uncle Biscuit
Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.

I hope you went on your uncle’s tab.
That’s pretty sweet though, I bet you had a blast.
Good work Thomassssooooooo
Te’o as a team captain? That’s awesome. Supremely jealous and wish I could have done something like this as a kid.
Welcome to Thomas! Thanks for sharing your experience – thousands of kids out there would love to be in your shoes!
Thomas – great article, I’m very jealous you got to do this. Who was better at the cutbacks, you or Theo?
Thomasooooooooo! I hope I spelled your name right — I may have miscounted the o’s. Great post! I love the photo of you and that other guy. Who was faster, you or Tommy Rees? That’s a dumb question. You were! Thanks for posting!
