My neighbor scores first touchdown against the Irish in 44 quarters

Blake Bell, OU #2 quarterback, lives a block or two from me in Wichita, scored the first running touchdown against Notre Dame since Boston College in 2011.  44 quarters.   Blake, 6'6" QB use to run between my house and the neighbors with the neighborhood kids.  I don't really know him.  Walking around the block the last time I saw him 2 years ago he said hi, nice kid.  The belldoser they call him.  I think he has run 6 or 7 TD's this year.
Notre Dame won.  I'm a big 12 fan, but I really like ND.  Their #5 is fantastic and a really nice guy, he goes out of his way to spend time with the walk-ons and bench warmers, knows all their names, says they are the heart of the team through their practice and staying power.  How many athletes recognize that.  What a gem.  Manti Te'o.

  1. I haven't been to a Norte Dame game in decades -last time was in West Lafayette when they played Purdue while I was at Grissom.
