As most of you know by now, legendary Notre Dame football coach Ara Parseghian passed away yesterday at the age of 94. Also, this is the first season we’ll see a video board at Notre Dame Stadium. The public saw the board in use for the first time on Wednesday night, as it lit up with “ARA”. Honestly, there wasn’t a better way to fire the thing up than with a tribute to Parseghian.
Brian Kelly told the team that Notre Dame will have “Ara” on its helmets, centered above the face mask where "Irish” was last year.
