No. 4 Notre Dame has the unenviable task of traveling to Durham, N.C., and tangling on Saturday with a Duke squad that dropped a 14-12 decision to then-No. 10 Denver last Saturday and falling four spots in The Sun's rankings to No. 10. If the Blue Devils are incensed about dropping their season opener to the Pioneers and are planning on channeling that fury into Saturday's contest against the Fighting Irish, Notre Dame coach Kevin Corrigan said he is more concerned with Duke's physical skills.

On April 30, 2003, KAREN H. CORRIGAN (nee Hyneckeal), age 62, of Rolling Meadows, at her home. Born September 4, 1940 in Baltimore, MD. She was the Communications Special Project Coordinator for West Northfield School Dist. 31 in Northbrook for over 15 years.

(Kerry), Kelly (Curtis) Webster and Kathleen Corrigan.

Former ACC commissioner Gene Corrigan said Sunday night that he is "absolutely flabbergasted" to hear that Maryland is close to leaving the league for the Big Ten after a nearly 60-year association. "It's historic, all right. It's shocking to me," the 84-year-old Corrigan said from his home in Keswick, Va. "I don't get it. I don't get it at all. It just blows me away. They're a charter member of the ACC -- they're not just a member. Virginia wasn't even an original member. " Corrigan, whose association with the ACC dates back nearly as long as Maryland's, said that the ACC has treated Maryland well from a financial standpoint "because they haven't done a good job raising funds themselves.

These are heady times in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which just produced its third straight NCAA basketball champion.When North Carolina beat Michigan last week for an ACC threepeat after Duke's '91 and '92 titles, Gene Corrigan's chest swelled a couple of inches.Corrigan, Baltimore-born and educated (Loyola High '46), is commissioner of the ACC. Speaking from conference headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., yesterday, he discussed a range of topics, including the league's basketball success and athletics at the University of Maryland.

Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner Gene Corrigan said yesterday that he was going to meet informally with University of Miami athletic director Sam Jankovich, but that a deal to bring the Hurricanes into the league was not imminent.En route to a three-day conference of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletic directors in Tucson, Ariz., Corrigan said he doubted the ACC would decide by the Oct. 16 deadline set last week by Jankovich."I don't think anything can get done in two weeks," Corrigan said from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Karen H. Corrigan, former Sun reporter and public relations specialist, died of pneumonia Wednesday at her home in Rolling Meadows, Ill. She was 62. Karen Hyneckeal was born in Baltimore and raised in Westview. She was a graduate of Trinity Preparatory School in Illchester, and earned her bachelor's degree in journalism in 1961 from Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa. She began her career that year working for the Daily Record in Baltimore, and later joined The Sun , where she was a reporter assigned to the women's pages.

A chance to pitch more often prompted 20-year-old Jason Mills to switch baseball teams from the Utica-Rome Indians to Corrigan's last month.Given that chance, Mills rewarded his new team with some superlative performances and helped it win the All-American Amateur Baseball Association national championship in Johnstown, Pa. Corrigan's beat Columbus, Ohio, Sunday in the AAABA championship game, 5-4.After joining Corrigan's (formerly Johnny's), which now has won the AAABA title 19 times, Mills went 4-0 in four starts and three relief appearances during the regular season.

Notre Dame fired the first volley of the 2012 season when the then-No. 7 Fighting Irish upended then-No. 1 Duke, 7-3, on Saturday. It was the third time Notre Dame opened the season by beating the Blue Devils, and the team is enjoying a 15-game winning streak in the month of February. But coach Kevin Corrigan said he hopes the victory doesn't satiate the players' hunger for a national championship. “Any win helps you with your confidence,” Corrigan said Tuesday. “I hope it lets our guys know what they should already know, which is we're going to be there competing with everybody.

Shortly after Boo Corrigan was hired as Army's athletic director earlier this year, he found himself talking to a group of graduates of the U.S. Military Academy. Nobody in the room noticed, but Corrigan seemed to be doing a pretty good imitation of a man many consider one of the most influential and respected college athletic administrators of his time. "I found my mannerisms were the same as my dad, the way I was talking," Corrigan recalled. "He's a lot smarter than I am. I called my brother David and said, 'I think I've become Papa Gene.'" The influence of his father, a Baltimore native who was the athletic director at Virginia and Notre Dame before becoming the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, was what directed his now 44-year old son back into what essentially was the family business.

University of Notre Dame coach Kevin Corrigan doesn't reflect much on his 23 years at the school, but there are some things he can't forget. Upon arrival, Notre Dame had no paid assistants and scholarships. The Fighting Irish didn't have any lacrosse facilities, and shared a locker room with four other teams. But now, they are close to becoming an elite team. In the latest Baltimore Sun poll, the Fighting Irish are ranked No. 4 behind Syracuse, Virginia and Maryland. And they are closing.

A Northrop Grumman engineer gave an Anne Arundel County prosecutor a check Friday to pay for signs supporting a slots parlor at Arundel Mills mall that were stolen during last fall's campaign, a move that his lawyer said was not an admission of guilt. David Scott Corrigan, 50, of Glen Burnie was charged Oct. 23 with property destruction and theft of $1,000 to $10,000. Police said that when arrested, Corrigan had 70 of the signs in the bed of his pickup in addition to one they said they saw him remove by the headquarters of the pro-slots campaign in Severna Park.

A 23-year-old male runner collapsed Saturday morning at the Baltimore Running Festival and later died, the second death during the marathon's nine-year history, event organizers and officials said. Lee Corrigan, president of Corrigan Sports Enterprises, the event organizer, said the runner fell at the 25th-mile marker, near the route's last medical aid station. Workers immediately came to the assistance of the man, who was taken to Union Memorial Hospital. His name was not released. Debra Schindler, a hospital spokeswoman, said the runner collapsed about 11:20 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1:11 p.m. after doctors unsuccessfully tried to revive him. Schindler said the runner never regained consciousness.

In many ways, the Atlantic Coast Conference was, for years, reflection of its Tobacco Road environment. Things moved at a comfortable, albeit slow, pace. There was a down-home charm to the people who ran the league. With the exception of its postseason basketball tournament, it was a mom-and-pop operation that hadn't changed much in a world swallowed up by television ratings and market shares.It was, in essence, a child of the '50s that hadn't grown up."We needed a shot in the arm," said Georgia Tech athletic director Homer Rice.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- When Gene Corrigan became the Atlantic Coast Conference's commissioner three years ago, it had a reputation of being an "old boys' league," strong on tradition but not progressive. He changed that in a hurry.First, he struck a unique deal that sent the ACC football champion to the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando at least once every two years, assuring the conference of New Year's Day exposure. Next came the ACC-Big East basketball challenge series.The biggest move of all came last week when ACC officials responded to a recommendation from the Baltimore native and voted to expand the league by adding Florida State University.

McDonogh boys lacrosse coach Scott Corrigan officially resigned yesterday, just weeks after leading the Eagles to a 16-6 record and a No. 4 ranking in The Sun's final poll. Assistant coach Andy Hilgartner will replace Corrigan. "I've known for a little while now that this would be my last year," said Corrigan, who referenced his two young children as one of the reasons he was stepping down. "I talked to my dad about it, and with Andy coming back, it was a great time to step away." The move comes less than a month after the Eagles advanced to the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference semifinals, losing to then-No.

The field is rising, and the temperature is dropping. For the organizers and athletes involved in today's seventh annual Under Armour Baltimore Running Festival, the best directions don't come with a course map. The race's popularity continues to increase, with a record 14,500 entries for this year's event, compared with 11,919 in 2006. Approximately 500 runners were shut out of the half-marathon, and about 200 were denied in the relay, which grew in participants by 41 percent and sold out for the first year.
