My personal favorite B&G game was before the 1997 season and they had the game at practice field due to the stadium expansion construction. TE Mike Denvir’s parents were sitting right in front of my brother and myself. Mike caught a short pass from Ron Powlus and Mike’s mother went nuts. You would have thought he just caught the GW TD in the Superbowl. It was awesome.

After the game, you could walk right up to players and coaches and ask for autographs/pictures. I was still a dumb little kid and thought this was so cool to talk (albeit briefly) to Autry Denson, Raki Nelson and Tony Driver, who wasn’t enrolled at school yet but had driven up to South Bend from Louisville to catch the game.

I hope they keep the B&G game for as long as possible, I just wish it wasn’t so “Disney-fied” Do we really need sponsorship from Chick-fil-a or Coke Zero?

Yeah, I know….that’s just the way things are in college football these days & ND is no different.

Remember when they used to call it “The Old Timers’ Game?” When the ND players in the pros actually suited up. We still can’t get enough!

Our cheerleaders have got to practice the artificially vacated wins cheer. You want Jerrod and Dave to stand up and cheer for Flipper, ND best coach in the last 30 years.

It’s the only time active professional football athletes can return to campus and see what is supposed to be a football game.

It was hard to tell anything from the 2017 scrum except I thought the Irish tackling, especially by the ILBs, was still below average. Offensively, there were 2 QBs that could play, and maybe BK would try to balance the offense.
