Notre Dame is not in the College World Series this year, but at least one Irish fan has a rooting interest in it. The Winston-Salem Journal found Jim Lullie of Albuquerque, New Mexico attending top-ranked Wake Forest’s game against Stanford. Although he bleeds blue and gold, Lullie was in Omaha to throw his support behind the Demon Deacons. The reason was very simple:
“It’s my way of thanking the University of Wake Forest for giving their quarterback to the Irish.”
“Their quarterback”, of course, is Deacons legend [autotag]Sam Hartman,[/autotag] and he’s one of the most talented quarterbacks the Irish have had in recent memory. In fact, Lullie has faith that Hartman will be the one to end the Irish’s national championship drought. But before that can happen, he has one hope for his momentary Deacons fandom:
“If we played LSU in the national championship game and kicked Mr. Kelly’s rear end.”
Now who doesn’t want to see that?
