What an afternoon! I was 15, watching at home -- in Indiana -- and my best friend was watching this game at his house. A few minutes after it ended, he came over, and I immediately asked excitedly, _"Did you see that Norte Dame-UCLA game?"_ With puzzling lethargy, he responded "Yeah" -- as though it were just another UCLA win. Then he continued, "All but last few minutes." That explained his lethargy -- he figured it _had_ been just another UCLA win! "Then you don't know!" I said all wide eyed. "Know what?" _"Notre Dame won!"_ He couldn't believe that. Nobody who left with the Bruins up by 11 with three and a half minutes remaining would have believed that.

I was a huge Bruins fan back then and I was 12 at the time and I used to think that nobody could beat them, that just the way I use to think , unfortunately they lost but give Notre Dame credit they was a great team, for you it was a joyous time but for me was it was very painful and it still is painful to this day.

@@kennethstanley9462 Your team had nine national titles to bask in at that point, and 10 a season and a half later. And yet, Bill Walton -- who had two titles, two player of the year awards, and an 86-4 record at UCLA -- has also said he has not and will never get over what happened at Notre Dame that day. I guess, the bigger they are the harder they fall.

@@brianarbenz1329 you're absolutely right the bigger they are the harder they fall. It wasn't no disrespect to Notre Dame that they lost to, like I said Notre Dame was great team and I give them credit. The Bruins lost to North Carolina State in the final 4 that year so it's proves that they wasn't invincible.
