My uncle went there. My old man's school didn't have football and my school cut football, so no need to like them. I always grew up rooting for the Irish
Hal sucks
My old man went there, and I grew up rooting for the Irish during the Ara Paresghian era.
We had some great B-Ball players my 4 years there, but Digger Phelps was an idiot.
The class of '81 had Orlando Wooldrige, Kelly Tripucka and Tracy Jackson- all made the NBA.
Others on those teams that made the NBA:
Bill Laimbeer
John Paxson
Bill Hanzlik
Bruce Flowers
Dave Batton
Toby Knight
Duck Williams
This was just after Adrian Dantley's time at ND.
I remember Austin Carr's team ending UCLA's winning streak.

I didn't go to Notre Dame , but have always been a big fan of the Fightin' Irish . Notre Dame ended UCLA 's remarkable 88 game winning streak in 1974 . The team consisted of Adrian Dantley , John Shumate , Gary Brokaw , Billy Paterno , Dwight Clay and others . Clay hit the winning shot that sunk Bill Walton and company . I believe Austin Carr was before that. He also was a part of some memorable games . As for this year's football team ; the game at Georgia in week three will be the acid test . Georgia is ranked number three in the country , and trying to go down there and win a game " between the hedges " is a daunting task indeed .
Yes, the Austin Carr victory over UCLA ended just a 19 game winning streak. I mixed it up with the Dantley one.
Yes, the Georgia game will be very hard to win. We also have a lot of semi-tough games, this year and USC at home and away at Mich & Stan.

The Fightin' Irish enter the Lion's den down in Georgia tonight . In two relatively easy tune up games , they really have not shown anything that makes me think they have a chance against Georgia . Sorry to say that this will not end well tonight .
Get your Popcorn ready, tomorrow's LSU-Alabama game is going to be special.
Hard to go against Saban.
I feel horrible for Tua. This is a Bo Jackson injury and is potentially career threatening. Awful
This Alabama-Auburn game is a classic!
The rest of today was a bit of a drag.
