Bagpipe Monday: Let’s All Celebrate Notre Dame And Michigan State’s 1966 Battle Together!

2017 marks the 51st anniversary of the Game of the Century. This Game of the Century was the 1966 showdown between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Michigan State Spartans.

While an odd number year anniversary seems like an odd thing, perhaps the oddness of a tie game makes it more fitting. In any case, there is something even greater than the year at play here. Both Notre Dame and Michigan State will be honored during the game at Spartan Stadium.

This game was so huge and had such great implications involving the national championship, that this dual celebration only seems fitting.
