Today's the anniversary of the only football game Notre Dame has ever played on Christmas Eve. Strange, but true. Nineteen years ago tonight, the Irish squared off against Southern Cal in a rare, late December matchup. Details are sketchy on what exactly transpired in the game, but we do know that ND jumped out to a 7-0 lead with 27 seconds left in the first period, on a play that was good for 52 yards. (A security officer at Nakatomi Plaza who looked like Huey Lewis was heard to have remarked, "Aw, shit! I got fifty bucks bet on them assholes!")

From all of us at BGS, Happy Holidays, and yippee-ki-yay.
