In reply to John C. I was also a manager during the Faust years and have the same recollection as John. The sign and saying were not marketed then, but I think it was there.

“It was just after the sign went up that the Sooners went on their famous 47 game run of unbeaten games, a feat still not equaled in college football. ”
This is incorrect. Mount Union, of Alliance, Ohio owns this record at 55 games and the second longest at 54 games.
Even though they are division 3, they should be given proper credit for their accomplishments. I know a lot of times people forget or fail to recognize other athletes not division I, but as an alum of Mount Union, I’d like to see proper credit here. I know this is ticky-tack but at least change the statement to read “not equaled in divsion 1 college football.”

Go Irish!

Whatever golden memories these posts have had…they are the reason for ND’s continued passion for the football team. Our legacy has been handed over by Dads and Grandads and Great-Grandads who have watched and cheered and loved this team for over 100+ years.

I will make the journey in less than two weeks on a bus that has three generations of ND fans and family to the Pitt game. My Dad brought me here for the first time in 1988. His grandson is a Notre Dame Pre-Med major in his junior year. Dad passed into the place of Knute and Gip and all those glorious ND men six years ago.

I watch every day of my first son’s progress at ND and how his Grandfather knows how proud he is to to have watched from above a “Notre Dame Man”… a grandson …who will make the University of Notre Dame proud. Thanks Dad…it is through your love, teaching and legacy that I give you a great ND grandson.

I thought the Play Like a Champion OR at least the list of Nat’l Champ years was there during the Faust years if not earlier… at least that’s my recollection as a mgr during those tough yrs

My first Notre Dame game was 1952 vs. Oklahoma—60 years ago! Billy Vessels scored three touchdowns for OU but,following Dan Shannons famous tackle that followed the third ND score, the Irish went ahead 27-21 when Shannon separated Larry Grigg from the football on the kickoff and the Irish recovered,setting up the winning score by Neil Worden. I had the program from this game for a long time, but, I think the grandkids got it!! However, i has been an endearing memory !! GO IR(ISH !!!

The best part of the AP story was the Oklahoma fans standing to cheer the ND players for their accomplishment. Wonderful sportsmanship that we could use more of today.
