Dressing up

Notre Dame men's basketball coach Mike Brey will let his wardrobe do the talking in an effort to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Michiana.

Brey, along with 11 other participants, will participate in the McDazzle 2010 "Men in Kilts," to help raise money to provide a free overnight stay at the Ronald McDonald Family Room for the family of a critically ill child.

Fans can vote for the best-dressed man in a kilt by making a $50 donation. Go to www.meninkilts.org to make a donation and vote.

If Brey wins the vote, he will coach the first half of Notre Dame's first exhibition game of the 2010-11 season wearing a kilt.
