from south bend and let me tell you this man is a legend
Around the time Rockne started at Notre Dame, my great uncle Brother Basil Mages C.S.C. was revitalizing the ND band and played the organ in the basilica when he was blind.
This is fantastic. Football players with leather helmets and very little padding.
At 7.15 we seem to be in England. That's surely a Great Western Railway locomotive?
A true Dawg
Yeah, Tyson's comment
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Heb. 4:12)
During the days that Knute Rockne was coaching Notre Dame, a sports columnist in a South Bend newspaper earned the reputation of being the meanest, most cutting writer in the country. The anonymous writer, who knew Notre Dame well, wrote about the team's weaknesses. He pointed out the mistakes of individual players. He told about those who were lazy, about those who broke training and didn't discipline themselves. Of course, this column made the players roaring mad, and they complained to Rockne. He listened with sympathy but said he could not stop the writer. He advised that the only way the players could do so was to go out and play the game so well that they would prove him wrong.
Later, it became known that the writer of the column was Knute Rockne himself. As coach of the team, he was best acquainted with their weaknesses. The critical column was his ingenuous device to develop a better team, and it did. (From Bible Illustrator).
God in His holy word often speaks so sharply that it cuts to the heart. God tells what we need because He loves us and wants us to gain eternal life. He knows that we cannot go to heaven unless we discipline ourselves to obey His rules.
He was a true-blue great American.
He is buried in Highland Cemetery not on campus.
They just reburied him on the campus cemetary recently
Chose notre dame because it was inexpensive that was a long time ago
All colleges were inexpensive
A man worthy for Ronald Reagan to quote and to play one of his great players in a movie. God bless President Trump and keep him safe from harm by the evil horde amassed against his efforts to make America great again. Pray for his safety. They are willing to do anything to maintain and gain power. Those who vote for them are well intended but misinformed.
