There is a whole lotta love in the Love family.

Fighting Irish quote of the day

 “For my money, the [ND] alumni network in Southern California might be the best, pound for pound, in the country. And I think a large reason is because you’ve got that inherent rivalry with USC and we’re living in USC’s backyard. So, there’s almost like a heightened willingness to take care of our own, because it’s this competitive thing that we’ve got going on in Southern California.”

— Former Fighting Irish quarterback Dayne Crist
