Notre Dame celebrates loss with beer and the popo

41 people were arrested on misdemeanor alcohol charges early Sunday as the popo raided a party at a South Bend home. Among those charged were Notre Dame tight end Will Yeatman and center Mike Golic, Jr., (yes, that Mike Golic, Jr. the son of radio host and former NFL player Mike Golic, Sr.) along with members of the Notre Dame lacrosse and soccer teams. The arrestees were taken to St. Joseph County jail but it is believed that Yeatman and Golic were not still present in the jail as of Sunday evening.

Yeatman could be facing steeper charges after he was arrested in January and charged with driving drunk on a campus sidewalk. Prosecutors agreed to drop the criminal recklessness charge on the condition that Will stay out of trouble for one year. I’m guessing being arrested for underage drinking does not constitute staying out of trouble. And by the way, how do you drive drunk on a campus sidewalk? Was he on a mopede, too?

University spokesman said that he was made aware of the situation but did not say whether the school intended to punish any of the athletes involved.

The incident happened after the Irish returned to campus following a 26-7 loss to Michigan State in East Lancing.

Watch out Will and Mike, because the popo are on your tail!
