40 Years Ago Notre Dame and Alabama played for it All

I hated Notre Dame more than any other team when i was a kid. It was so fun to see Perkins team stomp them in '85. I hope that is how the BCSCG shakes out: Bama and ND! Aubie and UGA first though. Roll Tide!

I'd begun to think I wouldn't live long enough for a rematch. Ara Parseghian is 89. I hope he still can watch football...

If we could meet with them #1 and us #2 it would be very fitting. I'd hate to think they could beat us again.

I got my fingers crossed it works out that way. (not them winning)

I cried in the 1975 Orange Bowl when Richard Todd threw a last second interception to seal the loss to Notre Dame 13-11....:(

I was at the Sugar Bowl and the following year in the Orange Bowl for both losses to Notre Dame. We owe them BIG time.

Is that the game where Bryant's intense film study actually worked against him? I'm thinking of ND's pass to the TE late in game - it wasn't tightly covered because Bryant knew that they hadn't thrown to him the entire year.

Also I'm included in that innumerable group. Last I heard (last year) he was living the the good life on Marco Island Florida, apparently able to look at football...

That's the one. I remember watching my Dad's Crimson hounds tooth hat with the original "In Your Heart, You Know We're Number One" button go sailing over the upper deck ledge.
