Both are two of my favorites. Was at both of those games.

In '84 my friend Big Lou and me stayed to the very end in the downpour because we'd never seen ND beat SC in LA. We lit up soggy cigars at the end laughed and laughed and laughed. Sidebar...two of the Trojans on that SC team, Tim McDonald and Matt Johnson, were my son's coaches at Fresno Edison. And my son was Tim's QB coach at Edison while he was in college. I still have the game program...you can tell that it's been in a downpour.

'86 game...I was there again with Big Lou...he was moaning and bewailing ND's fate when they were so far behind in the 4th quarter. I remember telling him that the Irish still had a shot...and lo and behold...Timmy Brown happened and became next year's Heisman front runner with what he did in the 4th. We laughed and laughed and laughed again. Life was good.
