Great vid! Hard to find old Notre Dame videos of David Rivers. Loved him when he played there. And yes, I too miss those NBC afternoon college games. They were the best!!!
UNSTOPPABLE @ the Joyce. ND won @ home in 1971 v. unbeaten UCLA; 1974 snaping UCLA's 88game streak; '77 v. #1 San Francisco; '91 & '92 wins v. #2 UCLA; '94 v. #4 UCLA; UND has won 80% of their games @ home since 1968. ND has finished w/1 or less home losses 7 times. In both '73 & '85, Notre Dame finished 15-0 at home. Btween 2/3/73, and 12/11/74, ND won 24 straight at home. from 88-02 ND won 51 straight @ home. 23 game streak from 04-06& in 07 ND has won 20straight.
Of course, later that month, Notre Dame laid an egg against Kansas, falling to the Jayhawks 70-60 as Danny Manning rang up 40 points on the Irish.

UNLV became the new #1 team and they stayed there the rest of the regular season, eventually falling to Indiana in the Final Four.

Good win for Notre Dame and David Rivers. But UNC, with the Mighty J.R Reid, got you back big time in the tournament.

I could not agree more. I missed their old college basketball theme that sounds like a band playing.

Wow. Sounds like a team that would routinely be able to make Final Four runs...not. This is a cute lil' video though, for a football school.
