Truly Funny: Notre Dame Game

This year’s college title game between Notre Dame and Ohio State brought back memories of my eldest brother, Bill, avid Irish fan inviting his little brother, Tim, two-time Buckeye, to South Bend in 1995. I was pleased that Bill let me sit in his premier seats which was a box with the top officials of Notre Dame, including at that time its famous President, Father Ted Hesburgh. As we sat, Bill leaned over and said, “I’m not going to make you root for Notre Dame, but if you so much as stand up or clap when something good happens for your team, you will be ushered to another seat.”
