This was suggested by nayers, so I sat down and came up with the following: This is going to be for Notre Dame trivia, so you can ask question regarding anything related to Notre Dame: players, coaches, teams, stats, records, as long as it is related, you can ask it!

Example:

I say "Who drafted Jerome Bettis?" and someone would answer with "Los Angeles Rams."

The individual who created the question would then give repuation to the person who correctly answered, and then the person who correctly answered the question would then ask a question and repeat the cycle.

Also, please refrain from posting "I don't know" or other similar remarks. No need to post pad this thread. Got it? Good... I'll start it off with an easy one:

Who coined the famous nickname "The Four Horsemen" for the fabled Notre Dame backfield of Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller and Layden in 1924?

I'm game. Is it Grant Rice?

My boy has a screen saver with this on it..."Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases..." But instead of going to pictures of the original Four Horsemen, he has pics of Bettis, Brooks, Mirer, & Ismail. :)

My turn (another fairly easy one): Who currently hold the University's all-time record for passing yards & passing touchdowns in a career?

That would be Ron "Scapegoat" Powlus if I'm not mistaken.

Here's another slow fastball that should be in everyone's wheelhouse. Who holds the career kick return yardage mark at South Bend?

If you are not 100% correct, do not ask a question until it is verified by the person who asked the previous question.

Is that the infamous clipping call?

For the record, Connor was the first ever to win the trophy. That's why I wanted it noted.

"the phantom clip." i was in the car driving seven or so hours home from a relative's house and listening on the radio (i was maybe 10 or 11). the game ended maybe one hour into the drive and my old man didn;t speak the rest of the way...

Heh... I'll answer it, but using the archives at und.com seems like cheating. :eek:grin:

Our "four year" winning streak started December 6th, 1888 with a win over Harvard Prep. We played only 1 game in 1889, a win over Purdue, and then we didn't play at all in 1890 or 1891. But because we didn't play, we didn't lose. :bigsmile: We then went 1-0-1 in 1892, and the tie to Hillsdale snapped our "four year" winning streak.

No rep, please. I just thought the answer was funny.

(As an additional note, we didn't actually lose another game until our loss to Chicago on January 1st, 1894.)
