Pulchritudinous Purcell

So where exactly have I been? Since my last post I have finished up my internship in the OC, driven across the country multiple times crossing through 18 different states (at least once), moved into my apartment in South Bend, started my second major (FTT), and realized that my one goal in life (graduating from Notre Dame) is almost over.

After longboarding home from my Leprechaun Legion meeting this afternoon and feeling excited for the first time since Saturday I figured I would cheer all of our readers up with some basketball talk, since that is definitely what is on all of your minds as we enter the third weekend of September.

Before our meeting I ventured to the hardwood as they were testing our brand new video screen and boy is it something to get excited for. It may be the classiest and nicest video board in the country, and it really got my ideas flowing for a great season.

Some inside tidbits for you all: The Leprechaun Legion will be holding a Student Shirt Design contest for our student shirts, to be unveiled at our first Midnight Madness in recent history. This event will be on the Friday night before the Western Michigan game from 11 pm to 1 am and is open to everyone. I hope you all show up and show the basketball team the support that they deserve to pump up what should be one of our best squads during Brey’s tenure.

I will fill you in more as plans finalize, but for now enjoy the pictures of the video board. I’ll blog about my journey to Michigan State after we pulverize sparty. Go Irish!
