I am a fan of the SEC. I went to school in the SEC, played soccer in the SEC and nothing makes me happier than seeing our conference succeed. But tonight I am going for Notre Dame. My uncle, a ND alumni, passed away in February of last year. His kids, my cousins, are also ND alumni. Needless to say, 2012 was a tough year but to see my uncles team make it this far is quite frankly, a miracle. One personally, my whole family believes is due in part to my uncle. He would have been incredibly happy seeing his team come so far. Watching the start of this game brought tears to my eyes, you are missed and loved Uncle Pat.
