Notre Dame History Lesson at Cedar Point!


100 Years ago this very summer -- the forward pass was "perfected" -- on the beach at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH...

The then Notre Dame student-athletes -- Knute Rockne and Gus Dorais -- worked on implementing the forward pass that summer while working as life guards at Cedar Point.

This past Friday -- the GREAT GRANDSONS of Knute Rockne and Gus Dorais -- went back to that very beach to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of their great-grandfathers creation!

That's Michael Rockne on the left and Charles Dorais on the right -- alongside Cedar Point General Manager John Hildebrandt -- who just happens to be a Notre Dame grad.  Pretty cool scene!

P.S:  Did you notice how the jerseys read 1913...
