Notre Dame: Fighting Irish

Count me among those who never would have guessed that Notre Dame would emerge as the top team in college football at the end of the regular season.  Alas, here we are!  Hats off to the Fighting Irish for finishing on top.  I'm counting down the days until the showdown with Alabama in the BCS Championship Game (January 7, 2013 -- mark your calendars).

In honor of Notre Dame's undefeated season, a few bright and shiny pieces:

UCLA Bruins

(Editor's Note:  This tribute to the Bruins is 2 days late! To compensate for the delay, I added a little extra sparkle. Happy Friday!)

The UCLA Bruins emerge as the number twenty five team this week (last week's honoree fell out of the Top 25 this week, but only after a hard-fought, offense-dominated battle against West Virginia on Saturday).  Here's a little blue and gold to welcome the Bruins to the club:
