Whether rediscovering the best team moments, or initiating into the histories and traditions of Fighting Irish fandom, this book about the University of Notre Dame football team is both a useful resource and cherishable memorabilia. Packed with anecdotes of the players, explanations about the beginnings of rivalries and traditions, detailed histories about the greatest players and moments in the school’s history, lists of the most successful seasons, recaps of the most exciting games ever played, and year-by-year statistics, this collectible book is the primary source for anyone eager to be an expert regarding anything about the Fighting Irish. The book captures the essence of what it means to be a true Notre Dame fan: more national championships than any program, seven Heisman Trophy winners, blue and gold (and sometimes green), the House That Rockne Built, the Golden Dome, Touchdown Jesus, Ara, “The Victory March,” pep rallies in the JACC, gold dust, Fair Catch Corby, the Irish Guard, “Notre Dame, Our Mother,” and the Four Horsemen.
