... from Notre Dame. It's still cold, but the great news is that the sun is out. Yes, the sun is shining. Take that permacloud! But we cannot life, it would be nice if it was a just a bit warmer too. Here's the setting sun and the flag on South Quad in the foreground. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!
... the Gentlemen's Monthly. Yes, TWO years ago today, here was today's posting. Enjoy this blast from the past.
...Gentlemen is the order of the day, the day before Mullets Against Malaria (MAM). Determined to defeat malaria, Steds is swinging into action under the direction of Commissioner Storch. But every Gentlemen is doing his part for King and Hall to ensure a swift and decisive victory over the enemy, malaria. Recently, Holden Welter was spotted in the lobby do his part to recruit everyone who has a follicle to cut to join the battle. Running into freshman Andrew Sasso, Holden's directions were clear... get a mullet. Suffice it to say, there is excitement and fanfare for this much anticipated moment of getting mullets, but yet, at the same time, quietly, there is a healthy amount of fear and trepidation among those heading off to the front with mullets, especially the freshmen. Questions of "What can a mullet really achieve?" and "Are my follicles really needed?" arise in minds of the inexperienced youth.
On getting a mullet, Sasso shared, "I’m beyond prepared to take part in this legendary tradition that has been a crucial part of the Steds culture for a decade I have let the hair grow out since August so that I can fully experience the power that comes with the beautifully sculpted Steds mullets. There’s nothing better than getting a great mullet for a great cause, and I’m excited to experience it with all my brothers!"
On having a new batch of recruits for the fight, Welter said, "These young recruits have been prepared to continue the tradition in helping others with our mullets, and they are ready to rock them proudly and with honor!"

Who knew will would ever be looking forward to a Monday, but we did... this Monday! If you didn't know, because you were living in a cave, today is the National Championship Playoff! And as Irish fans gather in Atlanta to cheer on their team, so too the Stedsmen. One group of Stedsmen had a chance encounter with none other than Shane Gillis. After dinner, while walking down the street in Midtown Atlanta, a group of Steds freshmen encountered a group of guys walking in the opposite direction. Patrick Fischer, Henry Mackie, and Shaun McKenna took a double take, with Henry pointing and calling out Shane Gillis. Next thing you know, they got a picture with Shane and his dad. Both were very friendly and happy to oblige. On encountering Shane Gillis, Shaun McKenna, Steds freshman and resident Connecticuter, shared, "Shane and his electric optimism drove our Irish spirits higher than we thought possible. The Irish will be crowned once again!”
