This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

We played them twice during my undergrad years: by BeijingIrish

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.
