Who let them in?: Leyden, Crudele and Travis
... from Michigan weekend never hurt. Indeed, there were so many things happening that Saturday, and it is only now, with it in the rear view mirror, that some of these stories are coming to light. An example of this would be Stedsmen going behind the scenes of ESPN Gameday. Discharging their duties with the Hall's Float, sophomores, Sean Leyden and Eli Travis, and freshman Kyle Crudele, returned to the Library Quad and were ushered beyond the barricaded masses to a special V.I.P. area. From there, the trio enjoyed a most unique perspective, taking in the crowd, the signage, and not to mention, the live broadcast. On going behind the scenes, Crudele said, "Going behind the scenes at College Gameday was awesome. We were literally an arms length away from the people you see on TV every week. It was also awesome to see all the love Notre Dame got and the hatred towards Michigan." Still, Travis also added, "It was ecstatic. Being able to see the entire production and Lee Corso that close was an awesome experience.”
