AN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT FOR NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH FANS
Notre Dame Fighting Irish is famously known for their unstoppable performance against SMU Mustang in 1989. Everyone knew that Notre Dame was going to be the winner. That’s why the question instead of “who will be the winner?” was turned into “with what average Notre Dame Fighting Irish will win?”
Kevin Sproule, who remained part of Notre Dame at that time, said, “The scenario was typical of this game. Notre Dame’s scoring opportunities were so frequent and easy to come by that Head Coach Lou Holtz was forced to take extraordinary measures to keep the score down.”
No one was surprised when Notre dame fighting Irish slashed a score of 59-6 in 1989. At that time, Notre Dame was ranked first in the county. On the other hand, SMU Mustang was striving hard to recover its status after a probation penalty of two years by the NCAA. However, they failed to compete against Notre Dame and had to taste defeat by them.
NOTRE DAME ON JOINING THE CONFERENCE
A well-known quarterback, Bradly Quinn, has singled out that there is a possibility of Notre Dame Fighting Irish joining the conference. No doubt they get a lot of matches to play and are part of the ACC.
Notre Dame can join the big ten after knowing that UCLA and USC will join the conference. According to Bradly Quinn’s tweet, “ND has benefitted from a national schedule (east coast to west) through their independence. That is now offered by the Big 10. Don’t underestimate the impact of alumni events and contributions with a national schedule. If you can offer that along with greater TV $…,”
The expansion of the big ten has been only to the east in the last couple of decades; however, this trend will change when USC and UCLA join the big ten because their expansion will be towards the west as well. With this move of USC, it will vary from regional teams to national teams.
“Spoke to a few sources who called USC and UCLA’s move to the Big Ten a formality, with a press conference expected in the next 24 hours. Perhaps as soon as tonight. This is essentially done.” Said Pete Thamel.
With so much curiosity in their fans, “ND joining big ten” have become the hot topic on Twitter, and many are curious about their next move after USC decided to join the big ten.
JACK LARSON AND NOTRE DAME
Larson is perpetrated to Notre Dame Fighting Irish as he chooses ND over North Caroline, Clemson, and Michigan. As a tight end, he is ranked 9th, but his rank is 197 when it comes to players overall. On the contrary, according to TOP 247, Larson is ranked as the 49th overall player and three as a tight end.
With the acquisition of Larson, ND’s position will further strengthen and push their 2024’s recruiting class to 1st, crossing Florida State.
