K nute Rockne: “The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. I play not my eleven best, buy my best eleven.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football teams have been playing football on the campus since 1887. Though the team is known as the Fighting Irish today, they first played games as “ The Catholics and then The Ramblers . In fact, it took about forty years before they got their lasting nickname. University president Rev. Matthew Walsh christened ND as the “Fighting Irish,’ in 1927 because of their never-say-die fighting spirit and the Irish qualities of grit, determination, and tenacity.
This book begins with the first college football game in 1869 and continues through seven years with the team having no football head coach until the administration finally funded the program by hiring J. L. Morrison to mentor the Irish in 1894.
We tell the whole big great story of ND football plus lots of great little stories from the very beginning of football as a sport to Coach Brian Kelly’s last win. It touches every aspect of the historical and mythical Notre Dame teams. It tells exhilarating stories about the games led by the University’s 31 coaches, including the immortals—Morrison, Harper, Rockne, Layden, Leahy, Parseghian, Devine and of course Lou Holtz and its 133 seasons worth of great games (1328 games). The book also highlights great players along the way — such as Johnny Lujack, Paul Hornung, George Gipp, Joe Montana, Joe Theisman, Nick Buoniconti, Chris Zorich, Jim Martin, Angelo Bertelli, Jerome Bettis, Leon Hart, Alan Page, Ross Browner, Bob Golic, Knute Rockne, Tony Rice, Gus Dorais & Johnny Lattner.
I predict that you will not be able to put this book down because it is the perfect read for anybody who loves Notre Dame & Fighting Irish football.
