Rockne Website a Real Hoot for ND Fans

I’m not sure if you’ve bookmarked the home page of Knute Rockne like I have, but maybe after this blog you will. The legend of Knute Rockne is such that he deserved a postmortem website in his honor. The page has some pretty cool stuff, including a quotes section, and a list of commandments that Rockne himself wrote down for his players to live by. God had ten such commandments. Rockne: 25. You be the judge.

Also, did you know that Rockne, Texas was named after the legendary coach? Well, now we know of two Notre Dame greats with towns named after them: Joe, Montana, and Rockne, Texas. After Rockne’s death in 1931, the school children of the former town of Walnut Creek, Lehman, and Lehmanville, decided to name the place Rockne after the famous coach. In 1988, the town opened its fist post office for just two days. The occasion was to mark the arrival of the new Knute Rockne stamp.

Rockne is only present on the Notre Dame football field in memory, but you can get Notre Dame Fighting Irish football tickets to see the gridiron he used to command by visiting SutbHub.com.
