<div class="body" style="padding-top:5px" dm="body"><p style="margin-top:0;border:0">I went to both of the “recent” games - 2000 in South Bend and 2001 in Lincoln. I was 16/17. By 2032, my youngest will be the 17 and I’ll be 42!.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;border:0">I will say - that 2000 game in south bend was a core memory for my younger self. Getting tickets was damn near impossible, but my Grandfather pulled some stings with an old work buddy. I got pulled out of school early on Friday and my dad drove us to the game. My dad got lost (this was long before GPS and still in the era of trip-ticks from AAA), and we didn’t arrive at our hotel until about 3AM.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;border:0">Of course, we stayed at the “magnificent” Trump casino/hotel in Gary (barf), and that was by far the most depressing accommodations I’ve ever had. We got about 4 hours of sleep and then slogged through traffic to get to South Bend. We wandered around campus for 2 hours before the game and I don’t think I saw a single Notre Dame fan until 10 minutes before kickoff. The photos of the stadium from that day don’t do it justice - it was 90% Nebraska fans.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;border:0">My favorite memory was Eric Crouch scoring the winning TD in overtime and having to explain the OT rules to the Notre dame fan sitting next to me (the poor guy thought they would get another possession for some reason). It took a couple minutes for this 16 year old kid to convince him the game was over.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;border:0">“Those were the days…..”. I doubt I will have the same enthusiasm as I did back in 2000.</p></div>
