Washington University vs. Notre Dame Football - 1936
A few days back, I mentioned that we had attended a game at Notre Dame Stadium and while there were a lot of 'special touches' at the Stadium/game, one that stood out was that they gave away half dollar coins from the concession stands. Well...the game turned into a bit of a blowout, so late in the 3rd quarter, I took a walk around the bowels of the stadium. I wanted to see all the light fixtures, reused sections of bleachers, how the old/new stadium fit together and various other things that adorn the interior of the stadium. One of the things that they've done to represent some of their strong history is to blow up and and install vintage program covers from games of past around the concourse. And guess what? One of those football game programs was from a game between Washington University and the Fighting Irish. Yeah...Wash U. That's Nat's alma mater. And now a Division III football program that I affectionately call the "Teddy Bears"....
