Notre Dame Pep Rally Blog

In case you missed it, Bud Poliquin posted a great blog the other day about a University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football pep rally held at the Joyce Center last football season. Like for all home games, just aout 15,000 gathered in the gym to get pumped up for the UCLA game. The crowd was abuzz with excitement and energy, and then former Irish QB “Golden Boy” Paul Hornung took the microphone and everything took a turn for the awkward.

According to sources at the event, Digger Phelps and Dick Vitale had already given some pretty standard pump-up speeches when Hormung got the stage. After a few minutes of bland rabble-rousing, something inexplicable happened… something embarrassing and confusing which turned the crowd from frenzied to puzzled.

If you get a chance you ought to check it out. Then, when you are finished laughing you can get to StubHub.com to secure your Notre Dame Fighting Irish football tickets for a game next season. We know what you’re going to ask, but no, the rallies are for students and we don’t sell tickets to them.
