SOUTH BEND, Ind. —
Notre Dame is an acquired taste.
It is not for the cynic. It does not now, nor will it ever, appeal to those who speak college football in a regional dialect and give hosannas to the likes of Bear Bryant and Frank Howard and General Neyland. Never will it sway those who really believe that Rudy was offsides.
After an eight-year lapse, Georgia Tech — no slouch itself in the history department — pays a visit Saturday to the combination top-10 team/pilgrimage site that is Notre Dame.
