Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS USC 1977

As far as my family goes, we have a few favorite Notre Dame rivalries among us. One would be the Notre Dame/Pitt rivalry, as my dad and I went to Notre Dame, and the rest of my aunts, uncles and cousins went to Pitt. Another favorite Notre Dame rivalry within my family is the Notre Dame/Michigan State rivalry, as my mom’s sister went to Michigan State. While we may not get along when Notre Dame and Michigan State face each other, there is one thing we do agree upon; Michigan sucks. The last favorite Notre Dame rivalry within my family would be the Notre Dame /USC rivalry, as we lived in Southern California for 10 years, and many of my dad’s work buddies and my friend’s parents either went to USC or were huge fans, making that game a fun rivalry every year.
