Carlson and Laws Make ND Look Good

These two fifth year seniors were named to the 2nd All-Academic team by ESPN The Magazine and the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Believe it or not, this is the first time since 1988 that ND has had multiple players with this distinction.

There were only seven other D-1 schools that had multiple all-academic players, and no team had more than two. Finally, Notre Dame is with the top of the pack again. More info on this can be found in this UND write up.

Apparently, the Pac-10 officiating crew is standing by their ruling in the booth to overturn Grime's spectacular end-zone reception. The South Bend Tribune breaks down the nits and grits of it here, but our quote of the week (since there has been little player/media interaction since the season ended) gives David Grimes' personal opinion on the matter:

"I know I had it" - David Grimes
