Nice. I thought for sure he would have went to Ohio st. Pretty good get

I know osu was recruiting him, but I know very little about him. But watched some tape this afternoon. He's a good get. How I didn't know about him, I have no idea.

Manti wins the Lombardi Award for nation's best lineman

Te'o won the Walter Camp Player of the Year award as well.

Te'o picks up Bednarik


Ties Charles Woodson for most national awards in one year with 5.

Maxwell Award for Te'o.

Maxwell Award goes to Te'o. Nice.

@ESPNStatsInfo: Manti Te'o wins Maxwell Award. Only 2 of last 12 Maxwell winners won Heisman Trophy (2010 Cam Newton, 2007 Tim Tebow).

Well, that's not good but six awards is a nice haul. Congrats to Te'o.

Te'o is now the most decorated college football player ever. I don't care if he gets the Heisman. I just want him to get a ring to go along with all the hardware he brought home.

They were talking about him winning this here and were all going crazy because they said that means he basically has the heisman wrapped up. I called in to say its actually the opposite usually. They told me I was wrong and hung up. Lol. I was like WTF!

Whoever that was probably forgot that Brady Quinn won the Maxwell and didn't bring home the Heisman.

They aren't nd fans over here. They're te'o fans. The rest are bandwagon Whoever's good. Fans here are awful. I get being a fan of a team on the coast. But half of them are steelers fans. They also have low sports iq.

Jimmy Byrne of St Ignatius is the 4th commit of 2014. Committed to OL coach Hiestand on Monday.

Little disappointed Michigan didn't give him a look.

Might be another pretty big commit today, this one for the '13 class.

5 star rb Greg Bryant just committed

Very nice.

pretty good. ND wasn't in the picture a couple of weeks ago.

Te'o wraps up his award circuit by winning the Lott Impact trophy.

Heisman loss may be a good thing for ND

Navy And Notre Dame To Meet At FedExField In 2014

From the USNA SID.

"Dec. 13, 2012


ANNAPOLIS, Md.--The 2014 Navy-Notre Dame game will be played on Nov. 1 at FedExField in Landover, Md. it was announced today by Redskins Chief Marketing Officer Mitch Gershman and Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.
This will be the first meeting between the two schools at FedExField since 1998. Navy last played at FedExField on Dec. 10, 2011 when the Mids defeated Army, 27-21.
"FedExField did a fine job of hosting the Army-Navy game and we are looking forward to another sold out event in 2014," said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.
"The Navy and Notre Dame game highlights two outstanding collegiate programs," said Gershman. "We are excited to welcome both teams back to FedExField and are looking forward to hosting one of the most competitive and nationally acclaimed matchups in the country."
Gladchuk and Notre Dame Director of Athletics and Vice President Jack Swarbrick announced last fall that Navy's football series with Notre Dame, which is the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in college football, had been extended to 2026, which will be the centennial year for the series.
The Irish and Mids meet in South Bend on odd years; while on even years the contest is Navy's home game, customarily played at regional NFL venues. The two schools, which have played every year since 1926, met for the 86th on Sept. 1 at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. Next year's game will take place on Nov. 2 in South Bend. "
