Haven't won a national championship in over three decades but act like they're Alabama. In reality, the program is the Mike Dukakis of football. As someone that is 17% Irish (seriously) this pains me. Also, Rudy was offsides.

He lost his relevance long ago...
He's nothing more than a shock jock with a liberal attitude.

He must not spend any time at tailgates or on an Irish message board. ND fans want to win.....badly. But, no one is harder on our losses than us fans. We know damn well it was 1988. We know what happens in the big boy bowls. This dude sounds like a Chicago radio sports talk show host. Not an original thought. Probably played in a mushball beer league and that qualifies him as an athlete. Doubt you'll see our young HC in the kind of hilljack squabbles that the two West Virginia natives are currently involved in.
tabs ? When he was called out he whined and beat it out of town.
It was for our local Catholic grade school to help keep it going. Both were tremendous. Both didn't charge one penny. Both told stories, signed, and took pictures until the last guest was satisfied. I personally talked to both Allen and Rudy and both talked to me like I was an old friend. I do want to add Zorich, Tyrone Willingham, and Reggie Brooks to that list of really fan friendly people. Anyway, I can only go by my personal experience with Rudy. The rest is his deal.
That said, Rudy was a terrible speaker...and he did have that pump sand dump stock issue...
He just told stories of his youth, the Navy, the movie, life at Joliet central Catholic HS. Very informal. Kept our attention. Lots of humor. That was our experience. Unfortunately, a few years later, the school did in fact close. Our Pastor didn't want to be bothered with things like a school or the traditional parish carnival which was a huge money maker. That ended too. You have 4 people talking about Rudy and mostly likely get 7 different opinions.
Had him sign my son's football trophy. He was indicted like the next week.
Bad timing there.
