Season 2: Episode 3 with Michael Stonebreaker

This week’s guest on Spanning the Dome was former two time All American linebacker Michael Stonebreaker. As an inside linebacker for the Irish Stonebreaker was a menace to opposing offenses, and tonight he shared with us some of his memories of his playing days at Notre Dame. He spoke with us about:

• His latest venture, NOBrew Coffee, a New Orleans Style Coffee company he runs.
• The 1988 Notre Dame-Miami game, the pre-game brawl, his involvement, and the reaction to Lou Holtz’s classic pep talk before the game.
• His thoughts on the possibility of a Notre Dame-Miami game as mentioned in the Miami Herald yesterday.
• His style of play and how he attacked an opponent.
• Some of the practical jokes that went on between him, Wes Pritchett, and Frank Stams.
• Any players that he wished he could have had a crack at playing against after his playing days were over.
• His recruitment to Notre Dame and what ended up pushing him towards South Bend.

We also had a quick run down on the recruiting news of the week with the commitments of Marlon Pollard and Tyler Eifert.
