Blast from the Past: Reliving Golden Tate's jump into the Michigan State band 15 years later
ND had a great stable of wide-outs during the Weis, Kelly regimes.
Tight Ends too...
BTW, BC is playing Michigan State Saturday night. Should be an interesting game to see if BC is for real.

Golden Tate and Jeff Samardzjia were of my two favorite receivers of all time for the Irish.
Both had a little hot dog in them but man were they clutch. Samardzjia made so many acrobatic and great clutch catches and never missed the easy one. Tate was so fun to see run after the catch and on punt returns. Actually Samardzjia was also great running after the catch. Whoops I forgot, the Rocket is my favorite player for the Irish period of all time.
My thoughts exactly. Rocket is my favorite. Samardzija was probably the best.
Only Lake Dawson rivaled him in terms of hands, and though he wasn't a burner like Rocket, Tim Brown, or Tate, he had great moves and he had speed in pads. I just wish he and Tate had played for better coaches on better teams.
Will Fuller was a burner. Philly guy too from Roman Catholic HS. Go Phillies / Eagles...

My older brother was a LaSalle College graduate. Note I say LaSalle College because it was College
back in 1965. When I was taking my older daughter to look at various schools we went there to take a look just to see. We could not believe what a ghetto area it was engulfing this beautiful campus. Drove by Joe Frazier's boxing school. My older daughter who went to St. Joe's for a year than went to PCOM for her Masters in, Psychology(blah). What a waste of money. She lived in Maniuk and then Ardmore, worked for two years, in HR. Covid hit and that was over. Fortunately after 6 months with us back home found a remote job and moved to North Myrtle Beach. She enjoyed Philly and it was safe for a while but now she and we are glad she is done with it. She was called a cracker a few times. Probably the sweetest kid ever called a cracker!
I graduated in 1963, correct it was a college thene
the high school was on the premises but had the foresight to move to Springfield, college should have moved with them
Go on YouTube and watch The Palestra. You’ll love it,

I agree. Michael Floyd was so athletic that his catches looked easy.

I like this one best. Shows him pummeling at least three band geeks.
