I think a few IE members would be in the same boat. Remember the "Who is Terry Hanratty" discussion from a year or so ago?

I remember several years ago someone from the media was going around tailgates before a game and asking Irish fans questions about our tradition. They tossed some softballs, like "What do you think of when you hear the name Joe Montana, Knute Rockne, Lou Hotlz," etc. It was surprising to hear the average fans struggle with some of the other names that were thrown out though. Hanratty was one. Paul Hornung was another. Some people were scratching their heads at "George Gipp." Embarrassing, to say the least.

George Washington died almost 170 years before I was born. Doesn't mean that I've never heard of him, or can't tell you that he was a Revolutionary War General, first President of the United States, was handy with an axe(chopped down a cherry tree), reportedly never told a lie, and had wooden teeth.

But I agree, the casual young fan probably knows very little about the origins and early lore of ND football.

Does anybody have a resource where one can learn more about the lore? I know Gipp and the big names, but would love to learn more. Or do I need to go to NDNation and listen to them tell me about how turf is evil before I'm worthy?

C'mon, everyone remembers George Gipp starring as Ronald Reagan in the movie "Rudy", classic. Remember his classic quote from that film? "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw SEC football forever. We begin literacy testing in five minutes.

Before we answer this question, please select one of the following options: do you A) dislike the use of fullbacks, B) are in favor of utilizing fullbacks, or C) does the mere thought of fullbackery give you a chub?

A few ideas, some that won't pass

A few ideas, some that won't pass

Churches > Temples

ND Fans be like: Yawn

Temple: Biggest game in history
ND: Temple plays football?

Dozens of women say the darnedest things...

Got pudding pops?

Cosby's gameday date won't remember this sign.

We're playing Temple today.
Why am I here?

Thanks for the drink Bill,
you're a great....Zzzzzzz....

Lol I got a chuckle out of this. You're comparing the first President of the United States of America, that every kid learns about through elementary school, to George Gipp.

ND should be in this formation against Navy every year. Every play.

Koon didn't know who Hanratty was until last year. Fact.

Then he got all pissed and told us "not to question his fandom" because he has a leprechaun tattooed on his shoulder (and a butterfly landing on a shamrock on his hip). Also fact.
