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.

Art Parisien ND QB by olson

1926

Late in the very first ever USC-ND game-in the LA Coliseum....USC was leading 12-7

Rockne inserted little used (and little=5'6) left handed QB Art Parisien. Parsien drove ND down the field (60yds in 6 plays)-hitting HB John Niemiec with a 23 yd game winning td pass with less than a minute left.

Final ND 13 USC 12

Legend had it that the Trojans were fooled on the td pass-because Parisien rolled left & the USC defenders assumed little Art was running-not knowing that Parisien was left handed.

Good story...but...Parsien had already completed a 35 yd pass to Niemiec just 3 plays earlier...the Trojans were pretty stupid if they hadn't noticed that Art was left handed after the first pass.....

Parisien never threw another pass for Notre Dame-this was the final game of the season. Little Art transferred to Boston U after the semester.

Another player appearing in his final game that afternoon in the Coliseum was Trojan tackle Marion Morrison #24.

Morrison quit school soon after the ND game, took up acting, & changed his name to John Wayne.
