MY FAVORITE COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM..NOTRE DAME..PLAYS ALABAMA..FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TONIGHT..

I GREW-UP CATHOLIC.."IN" INDIANA..

WHICH "AUTOMATICALLY" MAKES-YOU A NOTRE DAME FAN..

"&"..

MY "DAD" WAS A NOTRE DAME FAN..

SO..IT WAS "SOMETHING" MY DAD & I
"ALWAYS" HAD IN COMMON..

HE TOOK-ME TO MY "1ST" NOTRE DAME GAME I WAS ABOUT 8..

& I REMEMBER-"IT"..
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY..

IT RAINED..THE "WHOLE"-GAME..

BUT.."WE" HAD OUR RAIN GEAR..

& WE WATCHED THE "WHOLE" GAME..FROM THE STANDS..
IN THE POURING-RAIN..

THE FINAL SCORE WAS SOMETHING-LIKE 7-6..

SO..IT WAS AN "EXCITING"-FINISH..

& NOTRE DAME "WON"..

& I CAN REMEMBER HOW HAPPY I WAS..

& HOW "PROUD" I WAS TO "BE "WITH" MY DAD..

I WASN'T BOTHERED BY THE RAIN AT ALL..

BUT..I REMEMBER GETTING BACK TO THE CAR "AFTER" THE GAME..

& THE RIDE "BACK" TO HUNTINGTON..

& TALKING TO MY DAD ABOUT THE GAME..

& AS I GOT "OLDER"..

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL WAS THE "1"-BOND..THAT MY DAD & I "ALWAYS"-SHARED..
