Sportsmanship: Northern Illinois Head Coach Thomas Hammock Offered To Help Out Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman After Beating The Fighting Irish In South Bend

On today's Pardon My Take... THOMAS HAMMOCK! The Head Coach of the Northern Illinois Huskies joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter on today's show to talk about his huge upset over Notre Dame, program defining wins, motivation, and more.

During the interview with the fellas, one of the topics included a piece of sportsmanship that you don't see every day. After beating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend, Coach Hammock actually reached out to Notre Dame HC Marcus Freeman with an offer. Let's hear from the man himself on how this exchange went down...

Wow. Just wow. As a major advocate for sportsmanship myself, this is great to see. Imagine pulling off the biggest upset in the history of your school, and immediately offering to help the Head Coach you beat? If that's not a sign of respect, I don't know what is.

Also, if you haven't seen Coach Hammock's postgame interview with NBC, I'm throwing the MUST-WATCH category on it...

So cool to see. MACTION, ladies and gentlemen. MACTION!
