That was jaw dropping!

Digger Phelps said it was the first time when the student body stormed the court. Nowadays, storming the court is as common as using salt and pepper.
Mike,

This post brought back good memories!! Remember going up to the attic to watch the game so I did not disturb my other family members. It was a great game and if I remember right I believe Austin Carr was the star for the Notre Dame upset scoring 46 points!!

Thanks for the memory jog!!!
