Notre Dame Football: Goodbye sweet mustachioed Ian Book — Prince of the Gridiron

On Tuesday, the media was granted access to Notre Dame Fighting Irish football players for the first time since the Camping World Bowl. As exciting as that prospect seems, it all pales in comparison to the presence of Ian Book and his marvelous mustache.

Book — like many players — grows a mustache in fall camp, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.

A mustache is the ultimate symbol of power and sophistication. The world’s finest men are generally mustachioed mavericks. Men like Burt Reynolds, Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck, and others have used their powers of thick upper lip hair to aid them in their takeover of the world.
