Cole Arguello's blog ::Will Notre Dame Play for the National Championship
The University of Notre Dame football team is 81-72 against BCS teams in the post-Lou Holtz era. Despite the recent struggles, there's still plenty to like about the Irish. Irish History - In 1924, Harry Stuhldreher, Jim Crowley, Don Miller and Elmer Layden formed the Four Horsemen. In three years of play, the group lost only twice. - The Fighting Irish own 11 official national championships. - Knute Rockne has the highest win percentage--.881--in the history of football. - Frank Leahy led Notre Dame to four national titles. - Lou Holtz was the last man to bring a title to South Bend. Memorable Notre Dame Games - Called the "Game of the Century," Notre Dame played Army to a scoreless tie in 1946. - In 1966, head coach Ara Parseghian let time expire, and settled for a 10-10 tie against Michigan State in East Lansing. - A missed extra point, a late field goal, and a key third-down play gave the Irish a 24-23 victory over Alabama in the 1973 Sugar Bowl. - In the 1979 Cotton Bowl, an ailing Joe Montana emerged from the locker room to lead Notre Dame to a comeback victory. - In the "Catholics versus Convicts" game, the Irish faced the University of Miami in 1988. Notre Dame won the game on a missed two-point conversion. Notre Dame Players - Rudy Ruettiger was an inspiration. - Joe Montana began his legacy at Notre Dame. - Paul Hornung, Leon Hart, Johnny Lujack, and George Gipp are just a few former Notre Dame greats. - Former Notre Dame players like Jerome Bettis, Mark Bavaro, Tim Brown, Joe Theismann, Bryant Young, and Justin Tuck found NFL success. - Manti Te'o returns for his senior year to the delight of Irish fans. Tradition - Painted before every game, the gold helmets are undeniably Notre Dame. - Every gameday, fans can accompany the players from the chapel to the stadium. - The end-of-the-game helmet raising is cool to experience in person. - The view of "Touchdown Jesus" from the stadium is memorable. - This year marks 125 years of Notre Dame football. The Rest - The deal with NBC ensures Irish games are always on. - Notre Dame hasn't won a title since the 1980s, but the Irish remain relevant. I can't explain it. - Notre Dame will again face some of the top teams in the country this year. - Top recruits continue to commit to Notre Dame. - I was fortunate enough to visit Notre Dame. The campus was as beautiful as I imagined, and the stadium was magnificent. Standing in the student section in a packed stadium is an experience I'll never forget. I became a Notre Dame fan in the 1980s. A fan of the San Francisco 49ers, I rooted for Joe Montana's alma mater. Making the trip to South Bend strengthened my bond to the Irish. No matter the outcome, I am, and always will be, a Notre Dame fan. Sources: http://aol.sportingnews.com http://www.und.com http://www.knuterockne.com http://nbcsports.msnbc.com |
