1988 game

I was at the 1988 game. It was my second ND game I attended with the first being the 1986 game also in Baltimore. I was a senior in high school and had just finished my ND application. I remember being incredibly disappointed in the game, but had fun sneaking beers while tailgating.

Driving home, we learned that UCLA had lost, and that ND would probably jump from #2 to #1 despite the underwhelming performance.

Back to Saturday’s game- I think it will be a slow start, but I think we will win by double digits. I just don’t see Navy having the talent to compete. I am worried the offense will start slow as we will get cute with our play falling but then we will get into a groove. And bear in mind, I am a natural pessimist and typically expect to lose.
