Ten years isn’t a long time, but a lot has happened to both our world and Notre Dame football during the last decade.
Think about it: during the last ten years, we’ve had three different presidents, the iPhone 3g was just released, Instagram wasn’t a thing yet, Netflix was still sending DVD’s and the College Football Playoff didn’t even exist.
Times were certainly different for Notre Dame football as well.
Ten years ago, Jimmy Clausen, Maurice Crum Jr. and the rest of the 2008 Fighting Irish were 6-6, coming off a 3-9 record. Ten years ago right now, the Irish were preparing to travel to Hawaii to face off against the (now Rainbow) Warriors in the Hawaii Bowl.
