Overeating.

Yes. A lot. Magnolia. Mag-a-lag-a-ding-dong. Maggada-haggada. Marge. There’s more.
12. What is your favorite memory with your Irish teammates?
I’d have to say when we went to Europe after my freshman year. Everything that happened there was just awesome. Even the bus rides when we were just half awake, and walking around Ireland and England. It was just sweet.

Sissy Spacek.

“Ramble On” by Led Zeppelin

My brother, Aaron.
18. Other than the Irish, what is your favorite sports team?

19. What do you miss the most about being at home?
Being able to be in the mountains, and going out to the farm I grew up on.
20. What does being part of the Fighting Irish mean to you?
It means a lot, because everyone works so hard, and we all work hard together. This has been a really hard year and everyone’s stuck together. I came from a small town where no one was really any good at lacrosse, and I came here, and I got worked hard for two years, so now, it’s just the pride. It means a lot.
