Notre Dame 31, North Carolina 17: FIW Game Ball Winners

Who were the biggest stars in Notre Dame’s 31-17 victory at North Carolina? The Fighting Irish Wire staff has spoken with their game balls.

When you play as well as Notre Dame did against North Carolina on Friday you have plenty of players worthy of praise and it makes handing out the game balls after a decisive victory that much more difficult.

That said, the Fighting Irish Wire staff has compiled theirs from Friday’s victory, which is Notre Dame’s 15th straight dating back to late October of last year.

So who gets the awards for being the biggest stars in the Notre Dame win?

Here is who the Fighting Irish Wire staff decided, starting with Geoffrey Clark:

Grimes says she and Elon Musk have changed baby X Æ A-12’s name

The name change may have come about due to the need to comply with California law.

Experimental pop singer Grimes and husband Elon Musk, he of Tesla fame, garnered a bit of attention earlier this year when the two announced that their first child’s name was X Æ A-12.

The explanation for the name involved elven spelling, aircraft, and a great song by Burial, and sure. But as many people quickly pointed out: The name was not technically permissible by California law.

California says names must be made up of the “26 characters” of the English language, which would seem to exclude any numbers, hyphens, or characters like Æ.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Grimes responded to a commenter, and said that the name had in fact been changed.

So, the number is gone, but they’re still using the Æ character, which again — might not be permitted.

If you’re wondering how the name is pronounced, don’t worry, it’s not clear that Grimes and Musk are even in agreement in how it’s pronounced.

Via Uproxx:

As for how to say the name, Grimes and Musk have offered two different explanations. Grimes said earlier this month, “It’s just X, like the letter X. Then A.I. Like how you said the letter A then I.” Meanwhile, Musk told Joe Rogan, “So, it’s just X, the letter X, and then the Æ is pronounced ‘Ash.’”

Anyway, that’s what’s going on with all of this.

Elon Musk and Grimes welcome baby, who Musk says is named ‘X Æ A-12 Musk’

Musk announced the arrival early on Tuesday morning on his Twitter account, saying mom and baby were ‘all good.’

Pop artist Grimes and her partner, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk, have welcomed a baby in the world, according to photos posted to Musk’s Twitter feed late Monday night and early Tuesday morning.

Musk tweeted out that the baby’s name is X Æ A-12 Musk, though it’s very unclear if he was serious or not. (He also shared a photo of the baby with fake tattoos superimposed on the child’s face.)

Musk shared that both mom and baby were “all good.” The news actually broke in a Twitter thread that was originally about a Tesla testing issue, but quickly pivoted to hearty congratulations for the new parents.

Here are the tweets:

Congratulations to the new parents.
