Great points! As a 7-year old, I attended my first ND game in 1953 at the LA Colisem which was Leahy's last team and the Irish won 42-14. I followed ND religously through the Brennan-Kuharic-Devore years by listening to the games on radio, reading about them in Scholastic magazine and following Lindsey Nelson's Sunday night Irish highlight show. The next ND-SC game I attended was 1964 - Ara's fist year - when SC beat us in the last minute 20-17 to steal a National Championship from us. It took me 10 years to venture back to the LA Coliseum in 1974 for the 55-24 debacle. It was so difficult being an ND fan in LA, I started attending ND-SC games in South Bend. I waited to attend a ND-SC again at the LA Coliseum game in 2014 when SC beat us 49-14. I am now 78 years old and watching the game yesterday finally cured me of my LA Coliseum phobia. God willing, I will attend the game in 2026 because of the Irish beat down yesterday! Thank you Coach Freeman and the 2024 Irish team!!
