Got a sweet TTM return today, Notre Dame wide receiver Golden Tate, not a graph but a skull cap :)

I have Notre Dame clothing of all types. Y'all have seen that I clearly love the Irish, and that's been in my blood ever since I was a small boy. The last few years, I have seen the team wear skull caps on the sideline that have the interlocking ND on them. I've always thought they'd make a nice item for me to jog and play basketball in. I have searched high and low for these things, and finally asked ND when I went up there for a game, and found out that these are a player only item and are not sold to the public. I've heard that Golden Tate, the Irish's star player, is very fan friendly, and he seems to like these skull caps as he sports them every week. I was watching the game against Navy and decided I'd write him and see if he'd give me a skull cap. I sent him a sincere letter, of course mentioning that I graduated from Notre Dame in 1993, and asked him if he would mind sending me one of his skull caps. Today, 9 days later, I got home and I had a nice surprise in my mailbox. He sent me one his skull caps

Here's a pic of Golden wearing one of the caps:

Mike, did Golden happen to mention that his Lice problem was taken care of?

Mike, your picture made me laugh out loud. The cap is awesome and you rock it like a champ, but I just thought of you going to an important meeting with your suit and briefcase and stopping right outside to put on your skull cap. Please send Coach Charlie a leter and ask him to wear one for his last ND game as coach.

Great thread!! Love the pics. That was pure class
on Golden's part!!

You need to send him a "thank you" note, if you
haven't already.

Edited to add: And be sure to send him a picture
of you in the skull cap!!

Golden had a nice game against Stanford last night. (too bad that the ND defense is awful though, yet another loss) Golden had 10 receptions for 201 yards and 3 touchdowns. 1 rush for 15 yards. To be such a small sized person, he has a great knack for coming up with the football. I hope it carries to the next level for him.

Go Golden!!
