Notre Dame visits White House with other national champions

Well, this sure was interesting timing.

For two straight years now, Notre Dame’s men’s lacrosse team has reigned atop the college world. Having won its second consecutive national championship, the team was invited to the White House along with other national champions from all over the country. The day finally has arrived, and this fantastic image on the South Lawn should warm Irish fans all over social media:

That not enough for you? Don’t worry. Those aren’t the only photos that were tweeted out:

And if you want to go a little further back, here’s the team at dinner the night before:

Vice President Kamala Harris hosted the event, and the fact that the Irish were in her presence and at the location they were at less than 24 hours after a major related news event is absolutely wild. This will be a story the players tell their kids and grandkids. They would have told them about visiting the White House anyway, but the timing of it all takes this to another level.

Former Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner to walk on as receiver

Welcome back, Tyler!

[autotag]Tyler Buchner[/autotag] has to have had one of the most unique paths in all of college football lately. After two years of quarterbacking at Notre Dame, he transferred to Alabama for the 2023 season but didn’t win the starting job. He then transferred back to Notre Dame and won a national championship with the men’s lacrosse team. Now, he’s coming back to the Irish football team as a walk-on receiver.

Here’s the official announcement by the Irish:

Although Buchner is walking on, he’ll count towards the football program’s 85-scholarship limit if he appears in a game. That will be an interesting decision for the Irish since he has not caught any passes during his time in college football, of which he has two years of eligibility remaining. So it stands to reason he’ll be starting from scratch with the Irish.

Until we find out exactly how his second Irish tenure will go, here are some images from his first time with the program:

Twitter reacts to Notre Dame’s first lacrosse national championship

Hope you love this championship as much as these people do.

If you win a national championship at Notre Dame, you’re going to be remembered forever. The 2023 men’s lacrosse team entered university immortality Monday when it defeated Duke in the national championship game. It was their first time winning the national title after two previous runner-up finishes.

Let this serve as a reminder that every athletic program at Notre Dame deserves your support and not only during moments like this. These student-athletes and coaches work just as hard as those in the football or basketball programs. This is their life, and it’s great to see that rewarded.

If you think no one cares about Notre Dame athletics that aren’t football or basketball, think again. There are so many people either employed by the university or simply a supporter of the university who were hoping to see the Irish defeat the Blue Devils. They got their wish, and they took to Twitter afterwards to show how happy they were:
