Everett Golson says it's 'surreal' to return to practice

[Sportsguy9695]

Everett Golson wore his gold Notre Dame helmet and red practice jersey Monday for the first time in nearly a year. The significance was not lost on him.

"I want to say surreal in a sense," Golson said after the Fighting Irish's first spring practice. "I felt accomplished for a split moment, that I went through what I went through and now I'm back and I'm moving forward now and still continuing that process of trying to grind and be better."

Speaking publicly for the first time since returning to campus in January following a semester-long academic suspension, Golson said he is a new quarterback after spending two months training with quarterbacks guru George Whitfield Jr. in San Diego.

Golson said his initial feeling of humiliation from being exiled quickly turned to one of determination, as he carved out a path back to the program he helped lead to the BCS title game in his lone year as the starter.

The hype keeps growing around him, let's hope he lives up to it.

Every time I think about what could have been last year with Golson at QB it drives me nuts. With the D available, and the schedule set up the way it was, we should have been going into Stanford undefeated. Well, six months to go.

I don't think he will be an NFL QB but I think he will be a very productive college QB for us.

We have Golson ND goes 11-1 or 10-2 and end up in a BCS bowl game. My opinion. Cant think about last year. Last year is over. Time to think about Future.

I can't help it, I will think about last year until this year starts.
