UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

Nigel, you'll have to share your source for that piece...I can only imagine the 'treasure trove' of memories there. BTW, that video is a double pleasure to many ND alums...seeing and hearing from one of our football legends is enough to put a big smile on you, but the added bonus is Allen's description of the class experience so many of us had (sans the standing ovation) with 'Emil T.'. His comment about the esteemed Professor giving the entire class (500 may be a bit high, but not by much) the day off, conveys a lot about him. He was a fabulous teacher...not just for Chemistry, but for the larger human experience. There are only so many class days available in a semester...there is so much to learn - especially since many in the class don't come with a strong background - and there are so many students involved...yet, he made the calculation that the youthful spirit, unique to Notre Dame, took precedence...a special ND man.

Again...thanks.
