They are down to #21 and I don't believe George Connor has been featured yet.


Great stuff as always.

Bob McBride team captain

When Bob McBride retuned to Notre Dame after the war, he could not gain enough weight to be a starter. The best he could do was the 3rd. string. However, his team mates admired him and respected him so much, they voted him team captain.I was lucky enough to meet Bob Mcbride when he was Leahy's line coach. It was known that When Leahy, retired, Bob McBride would become ND's head coach. However, Teddy, named Terry Brennan as head coach. Teddy was " brilliant about football " and picked Brennan, because he had class with him while both were at ND, and thought he was a nice guy. Super way to pick the head coach, at The school of our lady. In Reality, Teddy was determined that HE was to be the best known person at Notre Dame. A very Obama esque move.


Good thing Zembra didn't play for BK. *
