| Mike Golic celebrating a touchdown as defensive captain of the Fighting Irish in 1985 |
Rick Reilly drew a firestorm of criticism from the Fighting Irish faithful yesterday when he published a scathing-yet-unoriginal "Notre Dame is no longer relevant" article for ESPN. Mike Golic, co-host of ESPN's Mike & Mike talkshow, member of a great Notre Dame family, and one of the few Notre Dame advocates at ESPN along with Dr. Lou Holtz and Hannah Storm, responded to Reilly today. In true Fighting Irish fashion, Big Mike owned the washed-up Reilly by exposing the absurdity of his article.
Have yourself a listen here.
Many thanks to Mr. Golic for defending Our Lady's honor.
Go Irish.

I was fortunate to catch Mike's lambasting of Rick Reilly "live" on the Mike & Mike show this morning, and while Mike really layed into him, I was disappointed that he did not touch on the consistantly tough schedule ND plays year in and year out.

Thanks for the comment, Dave. I agree that our schedule is a strong point in the argument for our continued relevance as a top-notch program, as are our high academic and behavioral standards (issues which Reilly avoided). The fact that so many people debate our relevance is in and of itself proof of our relevance as well. Here's to hoping BK and his squad can use such comments as Reilly's to fuel the Fightin' Irish fire.
