FWIW I believe ND formally is The University of Notre Dame. I read somewhere the university leadership wants the school to be referred to as such. I think it is "University of Notre Dame du Lac". I don't think many people are aware of the "du Lac" component and I don't know that I have ever heard it referred to as such. I have heard it referred numerous times as “Our Lady of the Lake”.😊

It is ….. THE ….College of the Holy Cross…
That school in Ohio, located in Columbus, has attempted the same introductory branding.

With the dislike of black uniforms…I wonder if the reason is deep in the psyche due to a negative experience with the nuns in grammar school….🤔 Like the Blues Brothers traumatized by the Penguin.

Circling back to Senator Welsh. . . I am not up to speed with his stance on every issue and certainly can't speak to the nuances on his positions. That being said, there have been posts about the local bishop's opinion of this speaker. There is a Catholic middle school in the diocese that the bishop thought was (in what I consider a very narrow interpretation of the situation) promoting ideas that were in conflict to Catholic teaching. He took the extraordinary action of removing the schools status as a Catholic school. That was an ongoing situation where as commencement is a one shot deal and might not be seen as promoting views contrary to Catholic teaching. I don't think the bishop would take a drastic step against HC, but I didn't think he would take it against the middle school either. So who knows. And I say this as someone who had my HC graduation protested Was that the year W. Wilson Goode received an honorary degree? Believe there was a plane flying overhear with a sign…”Please don’t bomb our campus”.

Kids who are pretending and identifying as furry creatures are no different than adults who CosPlay at a Comic Com Convention or adults who insist their puppies or kitties as their fur babies with all the costumes and treats.
A few adolescents pretending to be something they are not have been around since time immemorial. Kids like to envision themselves in a setting away from their current reality, which if you looked at their family background may unearthed a less than desirable environment. Adults sitting at their cubicles daydreaming about sitting on the beach or sailing in the Caribbean are trying to escape their environment until the phone rings or the boss is looking for a report.
What boomer as a kid did not want to be Superman and fly? Was that reality?
No since getting your pants in a bunch. They are not your children or grandchildren, eventually they will age and pretend they are something else.

Every time I hear the Merrimack Coach mentioned, if he is hired, I hope that HC MBB will not take on the title of the Jimmy Breslin book.
Over the last several years as I watched the team play, the title seems appropriate.

Thanks for providing the link MM.
I enjoyed the insights and particularly seeing the pictures from the past. Wonder if Sydney Johnson career will be resurrected with all the openings still pending?

Disappointed that Matt Lottich was not successful at Valpo. Was a top notch player in High School and was a College classmate of my daughter.

Sad to say…it would have taken one our players at least two probably 3 or 4 games to equal that total this year. 🤔😳
Hope that change is in the air with a new offense.

How many schools in the first group, the School Comparison Group have Div. I Athletics Programs? And the largely Catholic Admissions Overlap school athletic programs are Div? It has been the contention of some that HC was trying to break away from the "large gyms, small libraries" weak academic image of Catholic Universities & Colleges. Catholic institutions are largely dismissed in academia as primarily religious institutions not truly high level academic institutions. Please don't confuse rigor with top level academic inquiry . Most in the general population lump all Catholic colleges together - Iona to HC - one & the same under the rule of an autocratic pope. Some called it a Catholic school ghetto mentality. Many critics would airily dismiss the defense of Catholic bashing. HC tried to break the mold. It failed. Failure to be considered for NESCAC dealt a death blow to HC's aspirations. The school is a top end Catholic college with all that implies. Rest assured I am not in total agreement with the Catholic school critics. Although TBT having done a minimal amount of work among the "atheists" at Columbia I must admit there is a difference. Accept & move on. More like the rule of Imperial and Autocratic Bishops that fail to collaborate with the academic institutions in their geopolitical realm as we have seen with recent interventions.

Was this cleared by the Worcester bishop? Is anyone concerned?…….

It most certainly could! But, there could also be other factors that TPTB are implementing without general knowledge. Imagine a school administration that judges itself on results rather than on the existence of plans! New Sheriff in Town….

NBC 30 in Connecticut had an interview with Connor on the 11 PM Sports Report. It discussed him participating in the upcoming Pro day at UConn.

Maybe next week we will be seeing signs of “Welcome Home Coach K”. He certainly has experience in the Patriot League with coaching at Lafayette and Navy, as well as experience with the AI being a Student Athlete at Penn.
Hiring Coach K from a D3 National Champion will be similar to the HC hiring of Rick Carter for Football from National Champion Dayton in 1981.

Very nice article on Coach Krikorian. Wonder if it is the first on several that will appear in the Telegram over the next several weeks. Seems like a great way to introduce him to the community regarding his possible relocation to his former hometown.
