An 11 Year-Old's Letters to Coach Frank Leahy


My Uncle RJ Doyle -- who left for Heaven on Christmas Eve -- wrote these two letters (back in 1947 -- when he was 11 years-old) to Notre Dame's Head Football Coach, Frank Leahy.

The Fighting Irish were 9 - 0 that year and won the National Championship.

My cousin Mike -- "Uncle RJ's third of four boys" sent me these two letters. When I read them -- I knew they must be shared with the Notre Dame family.  I know Aunt Barb, Kevin, Pat, Mike and Denny -- miss him, big time.  So do I.

Oh, how Uncle RJ loved Notre Dame.

As you can see in his "practice" letter to Coach Leahy (top letter below) -- Uncle RJ wanted the Irish to play Michigan.  Well, he got his wish (again) this season!

I'm quite confident that Uncle RJ is enjoying the 4-0 start from Heaven's Notre Dame Section -- with Grandpa Ray, Grandma Barb, Joan (his sister, my Mom), his daughter-in-law Susan and the rest of our family.  I smile this evening (with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat) knowing they will all be sitting together again Saturday night -- rooting as hard as ever for the Fighting Irish.

It's what we do. 

The gift of Notre Dame -- has been a gift passed from generation to generation to generation in the Doyle Clan.  These two letters (from 71 years-ago) are another gift to our family...

Go Irish! -- Go Family! -- Beat Stanford!




Just "double click" on the letters above to enlarge.

Up Next: The Undefeated Stanford Cardinal


It's Been 93 Years Since This Has Happened!


It was the 1925 Rose Bowl Game, Stanford vs. Notre Dame -- two legendary coaches; Pop Warner and Knute Rockne...

Both teams were UNDEFEATED -- it's the last time these two teams met in this game without a loss. 

FYI:  Notre Dame won that game 27 - 10.  The recap of that game is linked below.

It's long been rumored that the money the University of Notre Dame was paid to play in this, their one and only Rose Bowl Game -- went to pay for the construction of Dillon Hall.  I've yet to confirm this.

Undefeated Stanford visits undefeated Notre Dame -- this Saturday, under the lights in Notre Dame Stadium.  It's going to be great!
