UND.com is debuting another of its new interactive features for the 2010-11 season, with its weekly Fighting Irish Fan Chats. Each Wednesday afternoon, UND.com will sit down for a live chat session with student-athletes, coaches and administrators making news in the world of Fighting Irish athletics. Fans are invited to join in and offer questions or comments for our guests, and if you can’t join us live, each chat will be archived so you can return to UND.com at your convenience and read what your favorite Notre Dame athletic personalities have to say on a variety of topics.
Our fifth Fighting Irish Fan Chat will take place from 1:00-2:30 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, Sept. 29, as Notre Dame women’s golf coach Susan Holt, men’s cross country coach Joe Piane and defensive backs Jamoris Slaughter and Robert Blanton will join us, with Slaughter and Blanton opening the chat at 1:00 p.m. (ET).
Slaughter and Blanton are each juniors in the Irish secondary. Slaughter has played in three games for Notre Dame and has registered 10 tackles. He picked up his first career interception this past Saturday against Stanford. Blanton has seen action in all four games for the Irish. He has recorded 16 tackles and three pass breakups.

Notre Dame compiled a 54-hole total of 890 (+26), five shots clear of second place Kent State. The Irish return to the links this weekend, playing host to the inaugural William K.
