That was my first ND game... (link)

My father and I traveled to it w/ a neighbor who invented Keebler elves and who was the biggest ND fanatic I've ever met. The main thing I recall of it was the deep despondency in the ND section post-game. For Irish faithful, the season was largely ruined b/c of 1 loss. It affected how I viewed the program ever since.

The linked piece (which mistakenly references '65 game, which occurred w/ Hanratty in HS), has an interesting take on PU intercepting ND's communications that day.

My father and I attended rally before '68 PU game. It was hot, sweaty, and raucous in the Old Fieldhouse. Pat O'Brien was the featured speaker. He made specific reference to "throw away the Keyes."
