'66 Notre Dame team best team ever? Uh...no. Not only did they play no one in a bowl game, they didn't even win all their regular season games. I remember watching their 10-10 tie with Michigan State--a game in which the Irish had a chance to go for the win but played conservative to assure themselves of the tie! Not representative of a "best team ever."
That 66 Irish team was a great one, but the perfect game that season to determine any National Championship would have been the Alabama Crimson Tide and ND Irish.Bama went on to pound Nebraska in a Bowl game that season. As for the Irish, as strange as this might sound, Notre Dame did not allow their teams to participate in post season Bowl games. Of course that would later change with the 1970 Cotton Bowl game.
I confused Jim Lynch with the late Dick Lynch. The late Dick Lynch, of course, scored the TD in 1957. And Jim Lynch played, as already corrected, on the 1966 team, which may have been the best of all time. The outcome of the 1957 game still gives us "oldtimers" a great memory.
The 47 game Oklahoma winning streak was not broken by this game, but by the 7-0 ND win the autumn of 1957, when Jim Lynch scored the only TD, after a killer block by Nick Pietrosante. An unforgettable game.
actually your wrong because Rocky Bleier (the guy that scored quite a bit) is my 3rd cousin and this is 66 because then he left got drafted in the nfl then joined the veitnam and then came back to the nfl and won 4 super bowls as backup running back behind franco harris
hey u fuck tard if u wanna start shit u better fuck off cuz u douche bag need a life swearing at ppl that think ur just a mother fucking computer geek when they dont care about u everyone hates u u dick face fucker stronghurst u better watch u jealous fucker just becuz hes related to his doesnt mean u have to be a fucker to him and he is right
ha! the same way how i did it with ur mom? nah i almost killed her and i dont like guys that way. and in other words ur saying ur gay in that comment, dont worry its only a statement
You're cousin? Rocky Bleier was the STARTING tailback during all 4 of the Steelers Super Bowl teams! Franco Harris was the starting Fullback in the same backfield.
