The Cling part of the Fling and Cling duo. 35 years later he would still start for ND and be impressive.

This sucks. "Mr. Cling" is one of those boyhood Irish heros/icons that are embedded in my brain. On another level, which some of the oldsters on this board can, I am sure, identify with, there is something scary about reaching the age where so many people who were living parts of your consciousness, be it family and friends, classmates, or people who you just knew of an idolized, begin to pass away with more and more frequency. Tends to make one think more and more of one's own mortality.

Man thats tragic. May he rest in peace! Thoughts and prayers with his family..

Former Notre Dame wide receiver Jim Seymour dies at 64 - ESPN

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Jim Seymour, a star receiver at Notre Dame in the 1960s who formed a potent passing combination with quarterback Terry Hanratty and helped the Fighting Irish win a national championship, has died. He was 64.

The school announced that Seymour died Tuesday night at Highland Park Hospital in Illinois.

Seymour graduated from Notre Dame in 1969. During his three-year varsity career, he made 138 catches for 2,113 yards and 16 touchdowns. When Notre Dame won the national title in 1966, Seymour caught 48 passes with eight touchdowns.

Truth.

Jim Seymour was a great player. I remember him as part of the Notre Dame renaissance after the bad Terry Brennan and Joe Kuharich years which I had to live through in my ND undergrad time. All loss, when love of any kind was part of it, is sad.

To Nanker et al: at 70 years of age I have buried several friends, carrying their ashes or their caskets. The only thing that eases you through it is your faith. God bless Notre Dame for that.

Youngsters, enjoy your energy and your power while you have it...and remember to thank the Big Guy Upstairs once in a while.

This was a truly great player. I believe am in correct in saying he is not in the college football hall of fame and was up for voting this year. To think that he and Hanratty are not in the college football hall of fame makes the college football hall of fame look ridiculous. Now if he gets in he's not even around to enjoy the moment. Idiots.
