Sammyswordsman Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Had a perfect name for a ND coach. The '74 Athony Davis game was more than he wanted to endure. again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxchoboian Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Every year I go to a game where the Rockies play the Reds, with a couple brothers and another acquaintance from back in Cincy who played for Parseghian at ND. For some reason at the game this year he said he'd like to meet up with Parseghian to see who could kick who's ass, just for old time's sake. He was kidding, of course (but many a truth are told in jest), and didn't realize Ara was about to pass. Although he has his national championship ring from ND, he also has some interesting insight into his time in South Bend. Funny dude, even at 70. I have great memories of watching Lindsey Nelson on Sunday mornings with the recap of the Parseghian-coached ND game from the day before. "The Midshipmen failed to sustain a drive, and punted the ball away to the Irish." Lots of opponents failed to sustain drives against Parseghian teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHHH! ..Lindsey Nelson... another jewel from the past. IMO - AP Should be at the top of the list of legendary coaches. His resume at ND of course is phenomenal but its what he did at Northwestern that says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bormio Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Nelson was the voice of the Mets that I listened to before I knew who the Red Sox were. I can still hear his voice in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
