On October 15 1988 Notre Dame hosted the University of Miami in what would become one of the greatest games in college football history. It was tradition vs. swagger the No. 4-ranked Fighting Irish versus the No. 1-ranked Hurricanes one coaching star Lou Holtz versus another Jimmy Johnson. But the name still attached to the contest came from a t-shirt manufactured by a few Notre Dame students: “Catholics vs. Convicts.” As compelling as the tale of Notre Dame’s dramatic victory is—even losing quarterback Steve Walsh calls it “a helluva ballgame”—the backstory is just as riveting.
