Over the past few months we have been working on this incredible Notre Dame project. While it is not yet completed we got one step closer yesterday afternoon. Legendary Irish defensive-tackle Chris Zorich payed us a visit to add his name to our already impressive pieces. Zorich goes down as one of, if not the, toughest players to ever wear the blue and gold. His arrival in South Bend marked the beginning of a new era in South Bend. We talked a lot about this yesterday. Lou Holtz brought in a plethora of harder players than what was then the norm at Notre Dame. This changing of the guard led to a National Championship. Chris was a two-time All-American, a recipient of the Lombardi Award and was the MVP of the 1991 Orange Bowl. With that in mind he was a must-have signature for our multi-signed project. I really enjoyed doing this signing as I did not know much about Zorich and learned a ton about ND football during our brief signing session. Aside from the multi-signed pieces Zorich also autographed some incredible 8x10 photos. The whole Notre Dame thing still continues to amaze me. There is such a strong culture around it that really trancends football. It seems that every day I am educated more and more about the rich culture and tradition of the Fighting Irish. It is so much bigger than just a game there. I can't wait for us to unveil these pieces once the project is done (which should be pretty soon)
Check back later for a recap of the Tiki Barber signing.
