Brown changes setbacks into success
By TIM CASEY
It didn’t take long for Bobby Brown to make his college decision.Less than 24 hours after his visit to Notre Dame on Jan. 20, 1995, Brown was convinced of his choice after spending time with future teammates Shawn Wooden, LaRon Moore, Ivory Covington and Allen Rossum.“The whole time I came up here, the only thing that I could think about was how cold it was,” Brown recalled. “But then Saturday night, I was out in the cold and I couldn’t feel it anymore because all the guys accepted me like I was a brother. ...

Anxiety sets in for season opener
By BRIAN KESSLER
The Eddie Robinson Classic will offer head coach Bob Davie a chance Saturday to see just where his 18th-ranked Irish team stands.“I think all of us, obviously, are anxious,” Davie said. “You really don’t know. You think you know what you have, you hope that you’ve made some progress. You hope that you’re a better football team. The bottom line is that you really don’t know until Saturday.” ... [more]

Kansas should forget Notre Dame history
Jason Feckner
Saturday, Kansas’ football team should denounce Catholicism, forget about Touchdown Jesus, and for heaven’s sake, not rent a video at Blockbuster.This is no time for “Rudy.”Most Jayhawks have seen the feel-good, inspirational movie and many of them can relateto the story. Some are walk-ons, a handful are overachievers, and Kansas is slated as such a longshot Saturday that landing someone on Mars by kickoff is looking more plausible in comparison. ... [more]
Irish hope four backs are key to ’99 Final Four
By MIKE CONNOLLY
An old adage says “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”If one followed conventional wisdom, a defense that finished second in the Big East in goals-against-average and first in shutouts would remained unchanged.Women’s soccer coach Randy Waldrum, however, hopes that straying from conventional wisdom will result in an even better defense in 1999. ...
