Mike Golic Jr. is too young to remember when his father played pro football for the Houston Oilers, Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins. He wasn't even born when Mike Sr. played at Notre Dame.

No matter. Mike Jr. still bleeds Blue and Gold, and the Irish's 1-7 start hasn't dissuaded him from the verbal commitment he made to Notre Dame this year. Golic, a 6-4, 270-pound center and defensive tackle for Northwest Catholic in West Hartford, Conn., is rated the No. 6 center in the class of 2008 by Rivals.com and the 26th offensive guard by Scout.com.

"At the beginning of the recruiting process, my dad told me that I should go wherever the best fit was," he says. "For me, it was Notre Dame, always. I've been going to their football camps since I was little. This year (that the Irish are having) hasn't had an effect. We can see through what's going on and that they have all this young talent that's coming up."

That talent might eventually even include Mike's younger brother Jake, who is a junior tight end and linebacker-defensive end for Northwest. Jake, 6-5, 212, has received interest from Ohio State, Florida, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Iowa and Stanford.

When Mike Jr. plays in the Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 5 in San Antonio's Alamodome, Jake also will be there that week because he was invited to the game's combine.

"He likes to tag along wherever I go," Mike Jr. cracks.

While the brothers are competitive in football, their real battles come in another sport. "In the Golic family, mini-golf is always the most competitive sport," Mike Jr. says. "We have a miniature golf course no less than five minutes from our house. I'm on the record board there."

Northwest Catholic football coach Mike Tyler wasn't sure what to expect when Mike Jr. began playing for him.

"I was wondering what it was going to be like because of his dad having played in the NFL," Tyler says. "Mike Sr. has been absolutely tremendous. He never butts in but offers advice when I ask. He's great with his own kids."

Mike Jr. says the tips on technique he's learned from his father more than make up for the occasional razzing from teammates for comments his dad might make on ESPN's radio and TV show Mike & Mike in the Morning. "I owe a lot to my dad in that respect," Mike Jr. says. "Technique is always something he's driven home to me."

I just watched some practice video for the Army All American game and Golic and Lane were getting beat and bulldozed every time.

yeah it just looked liked they were too small. Makes you wonder about clelland trying to stay at 275 or whatever he was trying to stay at. The good news is that Robinson and Cave look like the best interior lineman at their recpective all american games.
