Frank Tripucka's Grandsons' First Visit to ND

Nicholas and Shane Tripucka -- grandsons of former Notre Dame and Denver Broncos QB Frank Tripucka (Frank is in the Broncos' Ring of Fame) -- made their first ever trip to the University of Notre Dame yesterday for their Uncle Kelly's Ring of Honor induction.

Shane was an All-American punter at Texas A&M -- unfortunately we didn't recruit him. Nicholas and Shane grew up in Texas -- their Dad Chris played football at Boston College.

The top picture (Shane on left and Nicholas on right) is of them holding their Grandpa's #8 jersey outside Notre Dame Stadium.
