Anyone know what happened to this poster? He responded to a post, "Your Happiest Moment in ND Football History" a few years ago. I was moved by his response and kept it. Here it is:
So many great memories for me.....
So many great games mentioned throughout this thread and, having now reviewed the entire thread twice, I realize that I've seen almost every single one of them. I've also been privileged to witness impressive Irish victories in places like The Big House, The LA Coliseum, Beaver Stadium, and Spartan Stadium. And, Schadenfreude, I was also there when Desmond made his great catch against ND (a great call by Gary Moeller.)
Despite all that, my happiest ND moments were the last games I was able to watch with my Father. I was with him (with Mom and a buddy) to see ND beat Pittsburgh in 2002, and was able to watch a videotape of ND vs Stanford with him in 2003.
Dad died this past year, and while I miss him every day, I especially miss him on ND Saturdays. No matter what happens with the Irish from now until the end of time, I'll always be happiest to say that the last games that Dad and I saw together were Irish victories. I'll never forget the twinkle in his eyes on those days.
Thanks for letting me share that.
Go Irish.
