It's been that long since Notre Dame beat USC. No other game means as much in the Young household. Indeed, we only have three football rules in my house-- 1) you don't cheer for the Packers; 2) you don't cheer for any team from Florida, and 3) you never, ever say anything nice about USC.
I've forgiven violations of rule number 2. I've thankfully never been tested on rule number 1. I don't know what I would do if one of my sons violated rule number 3. I don't even want to think about it.
Tonight's ND v. USC game was such a non-event that I had to watch in online; neither ESPN nor ABC would cover it on tv. But, it was the biggest game of the day in my house. And, I'm glad to say that the drought has ended.
I actually don't care anymore about the losses to Tulsa or Navy. Michigan? No big deal. Michigan State in overtime? Long forgotten.
No, my college football season ended just fine tonight watching USC lose at home to Notre Dame.
I'll sleep good tonight.
