If it weren’t for a 10-10 tie on a cloudy and a biting November day in 1966, the seven men sitting in the front of 101 Conrad Hall wouldn’t have been there. Not many would care about their legacy had the score been decisive.
“Because of that tie Ara Parseghian told us at our 25th anniversary, if we had won that game, that game wouldn’t have been talked about,” George Goeddeke, a Detroit native who played for Notre Dame, said. “Or if Michigan State had won it, forget about it.”
But no one has and no one probably ever will.
