I covered one of the bigger games in recent Notre Dame football history on Saturday in South Bend.
If you’re a fan or not, you probably already know the story.
The atmosphere befitted a big-game setting. Traffic was heavier than usual. The neighborhood where I normally park on game days across the street from campus on the Angela side was completely overrun by folks with the same idea. The week before for the Washington game, I had my choice of spots.
There were celebrity sightings (Will Ferrell and Spike Lee, the South Bend Tribune reported), and press-box spots reserved for Lou Holtz, Ara Parseghian and Gerry Faust.
It didn’t go Notre Dame’s way, but it was a great game that came down to the final play. As a disinterested observer, that’s what you hope for.
