Where was Rockne headed on that fateful trip?
Hollywood?!
What was he going to be doing when he got there? Working as a consultant on the major motion picture "The Spirit of Notre Dame"?!
Huh....

One of my favorite comments, which is repeated on a regular basis in one form or another, is how Rockne would "roll over in his grave" over whatever happens to be the latest schematic/uniform/commercial/what-the-hell-ever change made at ND that's given everyone the vapors.

A real coach would line up, tell the other team where he was going to run the ball, and then hand it off and run right there. This shift is killing me.
