Daughter Kelly might be the biggest Irish fan in the family.After an incredible basketball career at Saint Joe, Kelly Ratigan went to play at Loyola of Maryland because the call from Notre Dame didn't come. She stayed a huge Irish fan at Loyola, to the point that neighbors had to check on her when they heard loud noises coming from her apartment when the football team lost to Northern Illinois in 2024.After a very good two years at Loyola, Ratigan hurt her knee in her third season. The rehab process was hard but her faith ultimately got her through it. She decided to enter the transfer portal and the dream call from Notre Dame finally came. Next week, Ratigan will play her first regular season game as a Notre Dame women's basketball player, living out her childhood dream.This is an outstanding conversation about her love for Notre Dame, the difficulties of the last year and faith guiding her to something special.--Thank you to Notre Dame Federal Credit Union for being the title sponsor of the Irish Football Fix: www.notredamefcu.comThank you to Tony Letcher with Health Markets for being our presenting sponsor: www.tletcher.com---Follow us on social media:Sports Michiana | Facebook: @sportsmichiana | Instagram: @sportsmichianaChuck | Twitter: @chuckfreebyAngelo | Facebook: @angelodicarlo | Twitter @angdicarlo | Instagram: @angdicarloSubscribe to the Podcast: Apple | Spotify--Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.

Kuwik came to Notre Dame on an ROTC Scholarship. While he didn't play basketball at Notre Dame, he served as a student coach under John MacLeod and then Irish assistant Fran McCaffery. Kuwik began his coaching career while serving his obligation to the Army. He thought his eight years was up when while an assistant coach at Ohio, he was called to serve in Iraq.

They'd go on to win the MAC tournament and make the Big Dance with Kuwik a part of it all. A few years later, Kuwik's girlfriend was killed in a plane crash. While working as an assistant coach under Brad Stevens at Butler and then Thad Matta at Ohio State, Kuwik would head back and forth to Washington D.C. to lobby for stricter regulations on pilot in terms of flying experience. He would get the law changed. In 2023, he became the head coach at Army.

On the November 4th, 2024 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix, host Angelo Di Carlo chats with Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price in our Focus on Faith interview. Price has had a rollercoaster ride at Notre Dame that began with an injury before he ever played for the Irish to having a massive kickoff return for a touchdown against USC last year. This year too from fumbling against Louisville this season and being benched for the rest of the game to bouncing back from the fumble to be a key piece for the Irish offense the last several weeks. How does he get through the good and the bad? Faith. It started when Price was a kid in faith filled home, grew when his mom battled cancer and he had to step up and help take care of his siblings and has grown even stronger since coming to Notre Dame. Price says he loves going to Mass before games & one way he centers himself---by listening to gospel music, sometimes even before games. -- Thank you to Notre Dame Federal Credit Union for being the title sponsor of the Irish Football Fix: www.notredamefcu.com Thank you to Tony Letcher with Health Markets for being our presenting sponsor: www.tletcher.com --- Follow us on social media: Sports Michiana | Facebook: @sportsmichiana | Instagram: @sportsmichiana Chuck | Twitter: @chuckfreeby Angelo | Facebook: @angelodicarlo | Twitter @angdicarlo | Instagram: @angdicarlo Subscribe to the Podcast: Apple | Spotify -- Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.

On the October 28th, 2024 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix, host Angelo Di Carlo chats with Notre Dame women’s basketball superstar Hannah Hidalgo in our Focus on Faith interview. Hidalgo burst onto the scene as a freshman, leading the nation in steals while averaging 22.6 points per game and earning All American honors. She’s a preseason pick to be an All American again this year as the Irish have very high hopes for the upcoming season. After getting Notre Dame to the Sweet 16 last season, Hidalgo was asked in the postgame press conference “what pushes you?” She answered.... Jesus Christ. On one of the biggest stages, Hidalgo went out of her way to put her faith front and center. Hidalgo has a deep faith that started thanks to her parents but enhanced greatly when she time during the pandemic to dive into the Bible. She’s intentional about prayer as a college student and makes time to pray whenever she can, including before games. She has a special bond with Irish head coach Niele Ivey. The two even go to Church together.

On the October 21st, 2024 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix, host Angelo Di Carlo sits down for an in depth conversation with Notre Dame basketball legend Ruth Riley. Ruth Riley is a winner. She led Notre Dame to its 1st national title in basketball, won 2 WNBA titles and captured Olympic Gold. Life wasn’t always easy. Being tall comes with many benefits. But being the tallest person in your class as a girl in middle school—that can actually be pretty hard. Thankfully for Ruth she had some great mentors–from her mom to Muffet McGraw. And she had her faith–which she says ran parallel with her incredible basketball journey. You’ll hear stories about overcoming adversity, how she is giving back now, becoming a mom and about that faithful weekend in St. Louis in 2001 when the Irish won it all. -- Thank you to Notre Dame Federal Credit Union for being the title sponsor of the Irish Football Fix: www.notredamefcu.com Thank you to Tony Letcher with Health Markets for being our presenting sponsor: www.tletcher.com --- Follow us on social media: Sports Michiana | Facebook: @sportsmichiana | Instagram: @sportsmichiana Chuck | Twitter: @chuckfreeby Angelo | Facebook: @angelodicarlo | Twitter @angdicarlo | Instagram: @angdicarlo -- Subscribe to the Podcast: Apple | Spotify -- Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.
