What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been

July 25, 2013 by Lisa

The last year has taken me places that I never thought I would have gone. First ... Biggest Fan of the Big East conference. Now ... Notre Dame football author. In just one week (my how time flies)  my new book on Notre Dame football: Echoes From the End Zone: The Men We Became will officially be released. I never intended to write a book, but I guess those are how the best journeys are started, right? In case you have not been following my "Where Are They Now?" series ... this is the ...

Blue-Gold Game Photo Journal

April 25, 2013 by Lisa

It just so happened that Notre Dame's spring football game took place the same weekend that I needed to make a trip up to campus to do some final work on my upcoming book on Notre Dame football (Echoes After the Whistle: The Men We Became). Funny how that worked out, now isn't it? Here is my photo journal of my weekend back on campus! My weekend started out on Thursday with a day of research in Notre Dame Archives sifting through decades of Notre Dame football photographs. It was a lovely ...

Where Are They Now? Brian Hamilton

March 21, 2013 by Lisa

When I asked one of his former teammates to describe Brian Hamilton to me, the answer was immediate -- he’s a leader. He’s the nicest guy in the world, and he’s still the same guy he’s always been. He’s the older, wiser guy. He’s the one with the old soul. Brian Hamilton, a talented defensive tackle, the product of legendary St. Rita’s High School in Chicago, went on to have a successful collegiate career at Notre Dame and sign as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons. Brian now lives in ...

Where Are They Now? Bobby Brown

January 31, 2013 by Lisa

Inspired by his mother and brother’s dedication and persistence, former Notre Dame receiver Braynard “Bobby” Brown did not let adversity slow his eventual path to success. An All-American receiver at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., he went on to play both football and track at Notre Dame and broke records in both sports. He remains perhaps best known for a controversial penalty he got for excessive celebration – a penalty he still insists was a simple misunderstanding of ...
