"What though the odds be great or small old Notre Dame will win over all, while her loyal sons are marching onward to victory." ~Notre Dame Fight Song
When I was four years old, I had a Notre Dame pennant on my wall and a t-shirt I wore on Saturdays. When I was 10, I heard Rudy speak in person. Two years ago, I went to my first game at Notre Dame. Last Saturday, we rushed the field and my very own feet touched the turf at Notre Dame Stadium. There are no words.
But there are pictures. And videos.

| The Game! |
Just in case you missed it, the game went into OT. Notre Dame scored a touch down on their first possession. Then they held Stanford three times on the goal line. Of course, the last play had to be reviewed and you could have heard a pin drop in that stadium as the ref was announcing that the call on the field would stand and Notre Dame had won the game. While the replay was going on, everyone in the stands was on their phone and watching Doug Flutie on the sidelines who kept pointing to his elbow saying the Stanford runner was down. Good call, Doug!

And then the celebration started. The students started to rush the field. We were sitting with the students. You know what happened next.

Here we are singing the Alma Mater with the players.
By the way, the full Notre Dame recap will come tomorrow and Wedensday, but I just couldn't wait to tell you about this part!
**Linking up with Sami for Weekend Update (even though it was last weekend, I assume she will forgive me because it is a weekend update, it's about football, and she's a fellow OSU alum and we stick together!)

umm this is awesome!!!
When my friend and I were in high school, we adored the quarterback of ND, Brady Quinn. My friend even posted under some blog somewhere under MY NAME that we loved him etc... embarrassing since it still can be found, I've kept no record of it though.
