Every Notre Dame fan knows about the streak. Every Notre Dame fan is tired of hearing about the streak. Notre Dame players and coaches are probably tired of hearing about it, too, even if some of them have only even known about it for a few months. Saturday marks the 28th anniversary of Notre Dame’s last major bowl victory, and it is way past time that Notre Dame ends this stupid streak.
Had you told any Notre Dame fan watching the Irish knock off Texas A&M on New Year’s Day 1994 in the Cotton Bowl that it would be the last major bowl victory for the Irish for almost 30 years, they’d have said you were crazy.
