The Snow is Falling at Notre Dame Stadium!


I remember a famous game a number of years ago (1992) in the snow at Notre Dame Stadium -- and an IRISH VICTORY over Penn State on Senior Day...  See video below.

Here we are 21 years later -- and Notre Dame is going to be playing in the snow on Senior Day as an underdog against BYU.  The weather teams are forecasting 2" to 4" of lake effect snow -- with winds gusting to 30 mph -- over the next 24 hours.

The snow flurries started a little over an hour ago here at Notre Dame -- and the wind is blowing big time.

Better bundle up!
