In '65, my sophomore year, at Notre Dame; and, in Evanston the following year. We won both handily (38-7 and 35-7 respectively). The '66 game was played on a beautiful October day--sunny and warm. The score could have been 50-0 if Ara wanted to run up the score. We had a couple scores called back including a 70 yard punt return by Tom Schoen.

There was a 16-year hiatus in the series after 1976. In 1992, the NW home games were moved to Soldier Field. Again, a hiatus after the 1995 game until we played them in '14.

My dad said the series was animated by real hatred in the 30's and 40's. We were the Papists, and NW was seen by Irish fans as a bastion of WASP privilege.

I got just a whiff of that WASPy privilege - ShermanOaksND 2018-01-15 14:33:07
