I remember attending the 1988 ND-Michigan night game at ND.

The only TD ND scored, as I recall, was a Ricky Watters punt return. There was a bomb from Tony Rice to a new speedster called Rocket Ismael. It could have been a TD, but it was a bit too long.

Reggie Ho hit 4 field goals. 4x3 =12 + 7 from the punt return and extra point by Ho gave ND 19 points.

Michigan’s John Gillette lined up for a last second field goal to add to their 17 points.

I watched it sail toward the south end zone and wasn’t sure if it was on line, but I watched Cris Zorich turn around when Gillette hit it and within a heartbeat Zorich raised his harms in victory before anyone else and it went maybe a foot or two wide right.

It was an auspicious first game for Reggie Ho, mister automatic.

Thomas Jefferson Medical Center in Philadelphia. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. I seem to recall he was featured in Notre Dame Magazine some years back. He would have taken Chemistry 115,116 with Emil T Hofman joining countless others who went on to be doctors. I believe Emil T even had two Nobel Prize winners that he taught. In fact, one of them got a B in his course. When the individual came back to be the featured speaker at the annual Emil T Hofman lecture he was awarded an A by the great man himself citing lifetime achievement as the justification. Emit T sent many prospective pre-professional students to the business school. Organic Chemistry usually was the impetus for the rest to give up the dream of a medical career.


I believe Emil T’s justification for the grade change was,

“I will accept the Nobel Prize as extra credit.”


I think he talks about that class in the 30 for 30. *
