Back in The Day … We didn’t get cheated out of victory by the refs, as we were this year at Florida State! …We didn’t get blown away by some cactus-patch school like Arizona State!…Nor did we allow any rinky-dink theatrical school like Northwestern to jump up and bite us in the backside at the last minute!….And we sure as hellfire didn’t miss chip shot field goals on the last play of the game that would have caused us to lose to any school from Louisville, a town far more famous for making baseball bats and racing horses than it is for playing the game of football!!…And we for certain didn’t cap off a sorry and disappointing season by crumbling before those devils from USC!!!…What in all tarnation happened to waking up the echoes and shaking down the thunder for heaven’s sake, Fighting Irish family of 2014?? ~ Turning over in my grave as I type, Knute Rockne.

They have 33,000 guys out for football and not one of them knows how to hold for a field goal? That Louisville game was pitiful. My dad’s class of 1955 and my mom was St. Mary’s class of 56.

I wish they’d beaten the FSU Criminoles, but I have no love for ND otherwise. I just want to reference a TV classic by mentioning that I can’t read or hear the name Knute Rockne without recalling the time that Edith Bunker called him “Knute Acne” on “All in the Family.”
