Secondly....the Canes were robbed of another national title because of the BS Cleveland Gary fumble call and the refs gifted Lou Holtz and his saliva filled mouth a title. When the rivalry was one (if you can call it that) ND stole it that day. Go Irish... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to that crap fest called of a game. I'll never forget Musberger saying it best years later. That's when ND's fathers actually allowed players into the the university and that's why they could compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Forgot to mention yesterday. Yesterday was the end of 13 days and Cuban Missile Crisis. One of the most underrated or least reflected on times in our history. Fresh off the Bay of Pigs JFK had to look a certain way, military guys wanted war....still JFK knew diplomacy in the eyes of the world mattered. Just a great stretch for history buffs like myself.

I've always said Jim Brown was the greatest running back ever, but Sweetness was the greatest football player ever... One year the Bears QBs threw 17 interceptions, and Walter made the tackle on all but one... In college, he was a punter and place kicker... Block, catch passes, and I think he threw 8 touchdowns in his career... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
