Congrats Mike, well deserved, you have left a lasting legacy in football and basketball the last four years. Actually, some of my favorite memories were watching all the youngsters after the games getting an autograph from Mike. The looks on their face were priceless and he stayed until every last one of them got their autograph. The kid has IT and props to his parents for raising two sons who were some of the classiest individuals I have ever met. It has been fun and sad the run is over, but lucky for us, their are bigger and better things in store. There is no doubt you will go kill it at Notre Dame.

Congratulations to young Mr. Mayer.

Evidently, he is a terror on defense besides being such a good tight end. Where does Notre Dame plan to play him?

Also, has he made a definitive decision about playing basketball this season?

[DearToday]

Completely deserved. Dominance.

They replayed this 3 times on the video boards (jumbo-trons for the older crowd) at the game. Nice tackle. The CovCath defensive back has to get off that block quicker though.

How about this stiff arm? You almost don't even realize that the player was there in position to make a play in the first place after you watch it, but Michael just casts him aside like nothing.

 

This was one of the probably 10 times Mike was rushing with the ball this season.

And who can forget this one from the Lex Cath game back in September?
