I’ve been a Notre Dame football fan for as long as I found college football interesting. There wasn’t much thought on which fandom I would choose, however, as my father’s side of the family is laden with Notre Dame and St. Mary’s College alumni.
And when my dad took me to my first Notre Dame home game, it didn’t take me long to think to myself “there are a lot of interesting things going on here. Do other schools have as many cool things as Notre Dame?”
Over the years, I’ve learned enough about college football traditions to deduce that the answer to that question is pretty clear: No.
