... are on their leprechaun! And how could they not be? This year has been memorable in so many ways, but if you need another reason, then here it is. This FIRST time EVER in Notre Dame history where the University has had a REAL Irish leprechaun. It's true! Notre Dame made history as well as added yet another trivia fact with Irishman AND Stedsman, Conal Fagan, filling what has to be the most beloved University mascot position in the nation. With an Irish flare that only an Irishman could provide, Fagan did a phenomenal job rallying the crowds to cheer on their Irish sport teams. What's his secret? Aside from being Irish, it's drawing attention. This is something Fagan has done both during and after the game, and recently, it was captured on video and immediately gained national attention. On making an incredible field goal, Fagan said, "It's a proud day for St. Edward's Hall, but when you play with the caliber of player such as Tommy Huber and Chris Brady, fellow Stedsmen, it helps a lot. It's a big achievement, but it hopefully points towards the next installment of the St. Edward's Derby (intra-hall soccer match) against the Big Cats. One day we'll grace the fields of Stephan again!"
