Did you read any of the reviews? The first one pretty much sums it up:

This is the sort of book from which one doesn't know exactly what to expect. It's clear from the clever cover and layout that author Rich Wolfe approached the project with a wry sense of humor. Where many of the more slickly-produced coffee table books on Notre Dame feature color photographs and re-hash the events of some of the most memorable Fighting Irish games, this item provides multiple perspectives from alumni, fans, former players, media personalities, and even a rival or two. The are amusing anecdotes such as Michigan quarterback Tom Brady sneaking into Notre Dame Stadium on the night before a game only to find himself locked in. Another fascinating story involves a behind-the-scenes account of the first night game at Notre Dame. It's a breeze of a read and certainly worth the reasonable price. Perfect for a plane ride or next to the bed...where a bible should be.

Yea, I am "borrowing" it from a friend. I have only read about 1/4 of it in about 2 years. Its been sitting in my bathroom. I guess I'll need to start reading it again. But yea, it's basically stories about people's experiences (some famous people, some I've never heard of) -with regards to Notre Dame.

It's great! There are stories (and forgive me if I don't get everything spot-on, as it's been a couple of years since I read it) from former students, players, I think even Ted Kennedy has a small story.
The one that really sticks out, is a former student who attempted to sneak onto the field during one of the games in the 70's as a player. I don't want to spoil it for you, but it's well worth it.

Overall great read. Not only that, but it looks like a bible, albeit with a blue binding.

This is a very good book, the one with Tom Brady is hilarious. But the best Notre Dame book ever is Talking Irish. It is an oral history of Notre Dame. It has former stories from coaches, players, and fans. It's a great book and a must read for any Notre Dame fan.
