It was nice to see my Father Dr. Robert Thompson again who was monitoring Montana's Hypothermia and feeding him Soup as Joe was wrapped in blankets. Dr. Bodnar so wisely had brought Chicken Noodle Soup that day. My Father passed in 2002 and he will live on in this movie ❤
This is the first I've heard of this. And when I read that John Facenda narrated it, I jumped out of my chair. Now I'm watching this gem. A rare non-NFL narration by John during this time span.
@@kellancarney810 I'm not an Irish fan, it doesn't matter how many national championships any other program wins. Notre Dame put American Football on the map
@@RubensBarrichello.I disagree we put american football on the map, yes we played a big part in what it is today, but that isnt the same thing as putting it on the map. I think Yale and princeton or other eastern schools put american football on the map I sound like a USC fan rn
Lost in this montage is the Michigan State and Notre series. The Spartans under Biggie Munn won three straight in the series during the early Fifties. Duffy Daugherty also had similar success. Including the famous 10-10 tie in 1966. Great stuff!!
The two greatest fight songs in college history are The Victory March and Brave Old Army Team. No others even come close. The Army fight song playing to the March of the Corp of Cadets makes the hair stand up on your neck!! The Texas fight song is glorious as is USC's. Yet, nothing compares to those two fight songs. What a Spectacle the 1946 game would have been with the battle of the bands superseding the play on the field. Two great traditions head to head.
Very odd. Video was released originally in 82, Facenda died in 84, Holtz first year was 86. I wonder if they re-released it with the added Holtz footage or what?
The reason Notre Dame doesn't win shit anymore is not because of academic standards or none of that bullshit. The reason is that the program is so full of itself and swallows its own "glorious tradition" bullshit so much that it refuses to join a conference. You're not gonna win a championship ever again by playing Navy, Pitt, Temple, Purdue, and BYU every single year. Nobody gives a shit if you run the table against cupcake teams and don't even have a conference championship to play for. Alabama kicked your ass because you were overrated and had a weak ass schedule. How anybody thought that Notre Dame had a chance to beat any SEC team for the championship I'll never know.
Here is how: I was brought up in an Irish Catholic family. My father taught me to love 3 things in this world, God, my country and ND football. When I was small I had a ND jacket, it was my pride and joy. As a kid I had a white football helmet that I painted gold. Living too far away fro the university, I never got to see a game on TV (antennas in those days) but I listened in on the radio. I carried a torch for that team for many years, even leaving a date as a 21 year old at a restaurant in Michigan to watch the Joe Montana and ND beat Alabama on the TV in the bar. (She called her father to come pick her up.) And then at the ripe old age of 32 I met the love of my life. A 32 year old gal who became my wife. The sweetest, kindest most Christian girl I had ever met. Every fall when I would get excited about ND football she would hold smile and just say, "Thats nice honey." One day I asked her why she acted that way whenever I mentioned watching ND play and she said, "Someday I'll tell you about my experience at ND." I asked her to please tell me and she said that she came from pretty humble beginnings. Her father was a farmer and worked a factory job in town and her mother was a homemaker but also was a nurse in her younger years. My wife made straight A's her whole life, even taking calculus in HS where there were only 3 in her class. She became Valedictorian and graduated with many honors. ND University gave her an academic scholarship. She said she was so excited and went to the college after graduation where admissions was very nice, until they heard that her father was a farmer and he mother was a homemaker. That is when the attitudes all changed. You see ND likes kids at their school who are privileged and rich (alumni money) and when they heard about my wife and her "farmer-small town job" father and homemaker mother, they told her they did not think she was the right "fit" at their high dollar stuck up university. My wife said it was one of the most humiliating things she has ever been through. She said she contacted Indiana University and they gave her the same scholarship there. BTW she graduated with a degree in Business Administration and then got her Masters from IU. It was then that I threw out every ND piece of memorabilia and have rooted for the opposition ever since. What a bunch of losers they are to treat a young girl that way. The real ND treats people like shit.
Because their fans act like Notre Dame is the biggest thing in sports when they haven't been relevant since Knute Rockne. Notre Dame fans think their team is too big for a conference and feel that they should have a privileged position in college football when they're mediocre. Because their fans say dumb shit like "Win one for the Gipper" and "Play like a champion today" when Notre Dame isn't gonna win shit for nobody and plays like a bitch every day. They swear that their fight song is special. They swear we give a shit about their golden helmets. Bro, they play in Indiana. Nobody gives a fuck about them lmao. Come back down to Miami and get another ass whooping whenever you like.
They say Notre Dame is a special place they Ain't whistling Dixie you got to be more smarter to play football at. ND than bama Norte Dame doesn't offer scholarships For basket weaving
It's difficult to say what Knute Rockne was better at. COACHING OR BULLSHITTING!! A man so obsessed with winning at all costs, he pretended his own son was on his death bed. As Jim Crowley related, "There was little Billy, looking like an ad for a milk company." On that basis, it's also highly doubtful that George Gipp ever implored Rockne to have the boys, "Win just one for the Gipper." The legendary Joe Paterno had this scenario actually happen to him when his young son was badly injured in a trampoline accident. When someone suggested he use this as a motivational tool, Paterno stated, "That would be cheap theatrics." Rockne definitely wasn't against cheap theatrics. Or even expensive theatrics!! The Fighting Irish legend had the "Gift of the Blarney" like no other. More bullshit than a Texas cattle ranch. Rockne beyond question is College Footballs most famous coach. He was a brilliant chemist and public speaker. Those were hardly his greatest talents. Knute Kenneth Rockne. A con man like no other.
@@kellancarney810 I get exactly what you're driving at. Motivation through a fight song is great. Better yet are players that respond to a great coaches guidance and driving force. The greatest ability any coach can possess is the gift of inspiration to an athlete. " I got your back and you got mine." That works every time

Shake down the thunder from the sky....greatest fight song of all time. Pretty good football history too.
I can't tell you how many times I watched this with my dad. RIP, Pop.

Fortunately sound on film was widely used by 1929 so a good deal of footage with Rockne speaking survives.
No team will ever achieve what Notre Dame has - no one - EVER! Go Irish!
I am an ND fan but I just want you to know that Alabama has actually achieved more

What do you do after losing to a team four years in a row? Of course, you hire their coach!
It wasn't the last time Notre Dame did that, either. Stanford vexed them for so long, they ended up hiring Tyrone Willingham.
need a new Holtz or Parsegian, I'd even settle for Devine!!! Hire a young guy and pray!!!
marcus freeman...
The Holtz footage is interesting. Facenda was gone before Holtz took the coaching job.
Very odd. Video was released originally in 82, Facenda died in 84, Holtz first year was 86. I wonder if they re-released it with the added Holtz footage or what?
@@SeanGrady90the original release had Gerry Faust footage. Lucky for us, they replaced it with Holtz.
@@LovetowinmoneyMy friend's dad was a big ND fan, as was my dad. Friend's dad had an "Oust Faust" bumper sticker on the side of his basement bar.
I am so happy that I am an Irish fan, were getting rewarded for our years of being terrible in the 2000s with finally being elite again
i dream for a return to glory but i just dont believe it will happen untill the ncaa holds other schools to higher academic standards
Milan Phillips notre dame will never win another national championship until that happens that is a guarantee.

NOT "Rockne Stadium", but "The House that Rockne Built". (40:50)

Rockne Stadium does actually sound good though
How can you NOT Love Notre DAME?

Here is how:
