Still remember going crazy excited when Brady pump faked and then Jeff Samardzija. Still one of my all time favorite ND plays ever.

I remember I was at home, several of my high school buddies were over, my Dad was in the rocking chair. We all went insane.

There will never be a more loyal stock of ND fans than those that were introduced to the Irish via Brady Quinn and Jeff Samardzija. Notre Dame secured the loyalty of a generation with this win.

I was at this game right at the spot where JS trips. Surrounded by UCLA fans who were talking smack and this was just incredible

[@christopherbahena5955]

I did not get to watch this game live (was at my entry-level referee clinic all day) so we had to record it on our old VCR. Right when UCLA got the ball back with a little over two minutes the tape ran out so I had to wait until the paper got to our house the next morning to find out who won (we didn't have internet at our house at the time)

I always thought Jeff Samardzija would have had a nice NFL receiver. But he's done alright in MLB.

Everything will be a replay of the "good old times". We are locked in our homes saying, "remember when...."

Poetic head 61

Third quarter and haven't seen a slant pattern from the great offensive master mind Charlie Weis.

In 5 years I never saw Dorrell express a single emotion

[@xandercrews4729]

Fun game, but I don’t miss this time in ND history at all. 15 years later and the program is in such better shape.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

even when good, the Weis era was a mess

[@alangordon9223]

good.

Why no HD feed?

[@JonesDylan874]

Lotta people didn't have the money to transfer to HD at the time.

[@ericdaniel323]

59 minutes of really boring football capped off with one glorious moment.

[@joshuawilliams6264]

My bruins got ruined that year.

[@khalid7915]

I can't believe ND hired fat charlie
One of the worst coaches in ND football history
But then again ND hired TY willingham and Bob Davie right before him and the guy who thought putting Master degree on his resume when he didn't have one would be a good idea

[@optimisticcosmic]

I like the less sparkly, duller gold helmets ND has than the new ones.

[@dickjohn2673]

As a die hard usc fan this game should have ended in a 3 to 3 tie no love here
