The ND story is America’s story - from humble beginnings immigrants and faith pulled a school up by its bootstraps to become a success. The school continues to uphold academic standards and tradition despite the difficulties that brings to athletic recruiting. Anyone who choses to hate does so out of either ignorance or a rejection of the capitalist and free market traditions of this country.

A tradition like no other in sports. whether we are 22-0 or 0-12. everyone wants to beat the Irish. As Ara always said, ND is a bowl game on everybody's schedule. No other institution plays with the combination of spotlight, pressure, expectation and without unlimited resources. This is what makes playing for the Lady on the Dome unique.

Glad they brought up the Big Tens refusal to let ND in. All these years later and they’re whining that Notre Dame isn’t a member. You blew it. Get over yourself. Notre Dame might join a conference eventually but it sure won’t be the Big Ten. Biggest fumble in college football history

ND holds a very special place in my heart. When they invited my grandfather to teach in 1948, it paved the way for my mother's entire family to emigrate to this country after WWII. Our family will be eternally grateful for that. I'm a South Bend native, Catholic and bleed ND gold and blue - even though I'm a UConn alum!

I’m from Indiana, been an Irish fan my whole life. I also lived in South Bend for a while after college. Been to plenty of games. People ask me all the time why it’s so special. I tell them, if you’ve never been there it’s hard to understand. It’s cliche for sure, but when you walk in that stadium, you can feel the history. There’s no lights in the concourse,which reminds you how old the stadium it. The stadium itself is not always comfortable. The seats are old, and it is kinda cramped. That said, it’s like walking into Yankee Stadium or Wrigley Field and seeing the field. It’s not the loudest stadium in the country, although that’s gotten to better in recent years, but it is the best game day atmosphere in the country.

I say this sincerely....I would love to see N.D. play the Wolverines sometime soon. I think it's scheduled, but until 2033 or 2034. For the most part, it's usually a close game between the two programs, and the history these schools share is definitely a good argument for them playing more often.
