I had no choice in the matter!!!
My father graduated in 1928, and he was there with the Four Horsemen
I began listening to the Irish as a young boy with my father who was a fanatic...I guess it rubbed off on me...
I attended ND from 59 through 63..If Kurarach didn't deter me from being a fan nothing will..
My wife and are both fans (both Irish catholic) I'm 71...GO IRISH

Born and raised in south bend. One grandfather was a bricklayer on the Stadium and numerous buildings on the campus. Grandma rented rooms to ND students and in 1947 she rented a room to a football manager. He took the little 7 year old kid from across the street to practice and introduced me to Frank Leahy. God I thought I died and was in heaven, Stayed for the whole practice, chatted with the players and everyone connected with that team made a 7 year old kid feel very very important.
So needless to say I was hooked.
In high school I went with a girl of the Catholic faith who went to the grotto on a regular basis. The first time I went there I was ionntotal awe. And have been since then.
Well, you asked for my reasons and there they are. I am 72 years old and still hooked on the Irish and will be until my last breath is taken.
God Bless Notre Dame and God Bless all of you!!!!!
