Tradition

With all the hype about Notre Douche the past few weeks, I thought that a reality check was in order.
"You're going to hear all about the Notre Dame tradition and you know what, it doesn't mean a thing unless Knute Rockne leaps out of the ground and tackles you. Their field has one hundred yards and two goal posts, just like every other football field. When you put those black shoes on tomorrow, and you put on that jersey without your name on the back, and you put on that plain helmet on, that's tradition, PENN STATE'S tradition."

- Joe Paterno (before Penn State's 24-14 victory over Notre Dame in 1982)
Thanks Joe. This football season is going to be amazing.
