stayed. No doubt in my mind we would have had a national championship in my senior year if he hadn’t left.
I know he made the right choice for him. But damn.
Sugar. That game meant a LOT to me personally for a whole host of reasons. I worked in a firm w/ a fair # of UF alums (including managing partner) then, and I had visions of hearing from long lost law school classmates had UF won.
He should be named an honorary captain when UF visits ND in 2031.
Grads on a giant project for Andersen consulting (now called Accenture). There were 2 ND guys on our project. That possibly was the best day of my life. It took the entire crew out in one shot.
Most fun I have ever had as an ND fan.
Cheerios, Spurrier. Cheerios.
the crap out of them up front and by the 4th quarter, they didn't want anything to do with our o-line, Bettis, or anyone. They were matadors on those last two TDs.
And yes, it had to have been about 8-1 Gator fans in the dome that day - but all you heard was ND at the end.
I was there as well. Large UF crowd. Surrounded by UF fans. They were mocking ND and leprechaun all game long. Until the Bus took over. Me and some friends loved mocking them with Gator chomp in the 4th. Pat O’Briens was fun post game. I think!
going back to ND for school. I flunk every class. The young kids are so much smarter than me. And I always have at least one final where I forgot I was signed up for the class and didn’t go to a single class.
I’m impressed that he was able to do this at his age and stage in life. It couldn’t have been easy. Quite an accomplishment.
Getting a post-baccalaureate degree is not exactly the same thing as being an undergrad at ND, but still.
Oh, and I have that same nightmare about a final in a class I forgot I had and never attended. Back in my ND days, my recurring nightmare was oversleeping and missing a final exam. That actually occurred to someone in my dorm the year before I got there. Not surprisingly, he had flunked out by the time I arrived.
about having to take a final for a class I forgot I signed up for! Scary! And we are both '75 grads...from Keenan! Moohahaha!!!
but I show up late dressed only in my tighty-whities. And maybe a pair of socks.
You could be dressed only in a sock.
I go to the professor and plead with them to let me make up the work for the semester so I will not lose my scholarship.
to a National Championship, and date a cheerleader.
But hey, your dreams are good too.
I have the signed-up but never attended one once or twice a year. Usually involved not even knowing where I'm supposed to go for the final.
student. For me, being on trial can trigger it.
in the responses I learned that Lake Dawson is an assistant director of college scouting with my Bills! Looks like he has had a good NFL front office career since his playing days.
Was in Fr. Miceli's theology with both Lake and the Bus. Good times!
the pro football Hall of Fame, I’m sure he is quite well off financially, and yet getting his degree was so important to him he came back for a semester.
Well done sir.
That Mendoza is much harder than his first time through.
