Jan. 1 1970 Cotton Bowl_Texas head coach Darrell Royal shaking hands with Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian after Texas' 21-17 victory over the Irish in the 1970 Cotton Bowl.
Editor's note: This article was originally published April 18, 2007, when Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian was inducted into the Cotton Bowl Classic Hall of Fame. We're bringing this story back today in rememberance of Parseghian after the Irish announced that he died Wednesday.
Darrell Royal was seated next to Ara Parseghian for brunch in the shadow of the Cotton Bowl and suddenly, the 1970s didn't seem so long ago.
