Game aside, I actually thought it was a great college football experience for various reasons; the history, the fans who were inviting and friendly and actually invited me to numerous tailgates and after parties and the fans that I sat around were incredibly knowledgeable about not just football but our team. Of course it helps that they knew there was no way we would beat them. I still say it was the best 62-0 game I have been to.
Also went to that game and had the exact opposite experience. Fans weren't inviting at all. Nothing like Nebraska, Iowa, Wiscy or even PSU. It was a brutally cold dark weekend. Many if not most tailgates shut down way early. RU tailgates have a lot more heart. We were mocked and fans were so condescending. Lou Holtz' last game so they took glee in running up the score even more than usual. I had such high hopes but may be my least enjoyable road loss and sadly I have been to many.
Didn't Holtz tell his team prior to the game, "We're going to have fun today, fellas" or something to that effect ?
I also seem to recall we sported a different helmet for that game. The scarlet knight head, perhaps ?

I still have an unused ticket for the game as one of my friends couldn't make it.
I also have the original NBC tape,plus some of the radio broadcast.

The only thing I missed out on was the pin Notre Dame makes for every game.
Someone in the memorabilia thread found it for me online but it was so blah, the worst one they made that season, I passed.

There are NO "BEST 62-0 GAMES" when RU has the "0". NONE.:Skull: :Dead:
I was there too. Their QB Paulus sp? was trying to set a record of some kind that day. He was acting like a spoiled little girl until he got his record. What struck me the most was the total size mismatch of our and ND's O and D lines. We were weeds among trees.
Took the team charter to the game. What an experience. Very few ways a 62-0 result could be positive and that was one of them
I am surprised no one has mentioned randy cross as the announcer . He’s the guy that famously coined Gary schiano
Look for the pop made by a crushing hit made by our Safety Shawn Seabrooks.
I hear it all the way up in the 60th row. one of our few highlights of the game.
