Our last Slappy Award crowned the Best Moment of the 2018-2019 athletic year for the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame athletics saw successful from a variety of sports this year, and among the hundreds of competitions, games, and matches that took place, there were plenty that left us glued to the TV screen with an elevated heart rate.
Before looking at the nominees, let me explain how I determined what constitutes a game as “entertaining” for this award. For starters, a blowout isn’t making this list much less getting crowned the winner. Of course it was entertaining watching the Irish roll Stanford and Syracuse on the gridiron, but if the game wasn’t down to the wire or featuring a thrilling ending, it’s not making the cut.
