Morning Thoughts On The Recent History Of Notre Dame VS Stanford

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Stanford Cardinal have only played 30 games in their long history of playing college football, but what they have achieved in that short time against each other makes it special.

Since 1988, Notre Dame and Stanford have played every year but two. The 1995 and 1996 seasons saw a break, but for almost 30 years, these two schools have met on the field of battle.

It’s a game that even seems to have an Illuminati like fingerprint on it once a rivalry trophy was introduced. It was presented for the first time in 1989 by the Notre Dame Club of the San Francisco Bay Area.
