Message: [QUOTE="FloridaCuse, post: 5596395, member: 8912"] For readers who don't know. Here are 2 quotes from a Post-Standard article from 2018 about the game -- 1. Notre Dame president Theodore Hesburgh said his school would stand with whatever the NCAA ruled: "Everybody knows Notre Dame doesn't want to win a game if it really didn't. If the rules committee determines that we didn't, we'll act accordingly." 2. On Nov. 28, 1961, the same day that Ernie Davis won the Heisman Trophy, the NCAA ruled that Notre Dame had beaten Syracuse on "an illegal play" but could not change the result. That was left up to Notre Dame, who, despite what their President had said earlier, refused to do so. The 2018 article -- [URL='https://www.syracuse.com/vintage/2018/11/1961_controversial_penalty_costs_syracuse_game_against_notre_dame_orange_bowl_be.html']1961: Notre Dame's 'tarnished victory' leaves Syracuse football fans, players angry and bitter[/URL] And Yes, I'm still furious.
