Louis Nix III, a.k.a. Irish Chocolate, was a popular guy at Notre Dame’s Football 101 clinic:

News broke this weekend that Notre Dame starting quarterback will miss the 2013 season because of what coach Brian Kelly called “poor academic judgment” in remarks to the media today. Golson won the starting job last August just before the start of the 2012 season. He went 10-1 as a starter with his only loss being the 42-14 thumping by Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game. Golson, a mobile quarterback, rushed for 298 yards and six touchdowns last season. This made for some photogenic moments on the field last season:

Notre Dame Blue-Gold spring football game

April 21, 2013

Notre Dame concluded spring practices with the annual Blue-Gold scrimmage in front of fans at Notre Dame Stadium. The scrimmage is offense verses defense with a system of scoring that reminds me of scoring on “Whose Line is it Anyway?” When the smoke cleared, the defense won … or at least I think they did.
