I have to say my favorite memories are those Terry Hanratty passes to Jim Seymour. I always wondered afterwards whatever happened to Jim Seymour while I was watching the early Dallas Cowboys back in the amazing Tom Landry days.
I was just starting to follow football in '66 and what a way to be introduced to it! That was our last fall in South Bend before moving to New Jersey in the spring of 1967. I still rate the 1966 squad as Ara's best team at ND. I became a huge Nick Eddy fan, so much so that I'm still waiting for the Hamme's Bookstore to offer a #47 football jersey!
Notre Dame could have been undefeated from 1965-1967. They bypassed Heisman trophy winner Gary Beban for Hanratty. I was in the Sequoia High School library when Beban told me that Notre Dame turned him down because he was a tailback in a single wing offense instead of a pro-style quarterback where he ran as well as passed.
Great video.
The best team I've ever seen.
This is awesome. 1966 was the year I became a fan of Notre Dame. Go IRISH!

What championship team plays for a TIE, especially when there’s a great undefeated, untied team out there?
Exactly......that's why I always preferred pro football over college...the title is settled on the field, not by politics off the field ...
exactly. gutless football. parseghian did the exact same thing 3 years later at HOME vs USC.
Is there an episode about the USC series?
