I found this on Ray's website. This kid Loves ND!!!!

Thursday, January 13, 2005
I WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE FIGHTING IRISH! Notre Dame is a special place. A really special place. The people are genuine and you can tell they truly care. The campus is spectacular and the coaching staff is second to none.

Coach Weiss has 26 years of experience, 15 in the NFL, and 3 Super Bowl rings. The assistants he has brought in are absolutely incredible. On his staff he has brought in three former college head coaches, former NFL assistant coaches and college coaches with great experience. My position coaches include Coach Bill Lewis, who coached the Miami Dolphins secondary for nine years, and Coach Brian Polian, who is young, enthusiastic, and has a strong resume coaching in college. Coach Polian is also the coach who has been recruiting me and his fire and passion for Notre Dame is contagious.

Notre Dame has an overall graduation rate of 99% among its football program, the best coaches in college football, an extremely talented team whose program boasts an unmatched record of success, history and tradition.

With a national schedule of top ranked opponents, national television and radio broadcasts, all combined with the best fans in the entire nation, how could anyone not jump at the chance to be a part of the Notre Dame family?

I spoke with Coach Weis today and told him that I wanted to call OUR other recruits and get them to South Bend. So, if you're a Notre Dame recruit and haven't committed to us yet, get ready because Ray's gonna be calling ya!

Come to Notre Dame, get one of the best educations in the nation, at the best university in the nation, with the best team and coaches in the nation! Come to Notre Dame and help us bring home a 12th National Championship to the Irish fans...maybe more! Oh yeah, one more thing... GO IRISH!!!

Geez, if this kid wasn't such a damn good football player, I'd say he should be a cheerleader or something. I think he bleeds blue & gold more than me, which is saying something.

I'm very impressed with our new coaching staff thus far. I don't know what the big deal was once Willingham was fired and they hired Charlie Weiss. There is more than one individual in the world that knows what ND is all about and knows how to coach football while emphasizing the academic intregrity of the school. I was disappointed to see Willingham leave earlier than expected, but I think most informed Irish fans will agree that the new head man at ND already has the program headed in the right direction. This while juggling his Super Bowl-favored team that is looking to repeat. God I love football. I'll take a thousand players like Herring before any others. They are the players that make ND special. I had the pleasure of visiting ND for the first time last year (Pitt game) and I understand entirely what Herring was describing. I turned into a kid again...throwing football while tailgaiting...touching everything in sight as if it were made of gold...let alone enjoying the environment contained in Notre Dame stadium. After that weekend, I felt like submitting my resignation at work and applying for graduate classes at ND. Definitely planning another trip this fall to the promised land. Go IRISH!!

Thanks...so glad I finally found a good message board with true Irish fans that know what they're talking about. I get so frustrated with all the negative postings from time to time at other sites. The true pulse of ND is just beginning to make the sensors jump. Appreciate all the great info available. Can't wait to watch the Irish prove all the naysayers wrong.
