You could argue that there's a more beautiful campus than the University of Notre Dame, but you'd be wrong...so don't bother. From EASILY the most famous of all campus landmarks, The Golden Dome to the Famous Grotto and Library (Touchdown Jesus), walking on the campus gives a person chills every time they're lucky enough to do it. We had a die-hard Ohio State friend with us that stated several times that ND was unlike anything they had ever seen, and that seeing the campus on tv doesn't come close to doing the beauty of it all justice. ND is a large campus with about a 1/4 of the students of most major universities, so it's very peaceful, except on Saturdays of course. Couple that with the greatest band in the land practicing at any given time on football weekends, from Rakes of Mallow to the greatest of all university fight songs "The Notre Dame Victory March" and I gotta figure it's as close to heaven on earth as you can come. What would you expect from a school named after Jesus' mother...The beautiful lady on the Dome. I'm a little tardy w/this post. We actually went up there for the Navy weekend. Yes we witnessed the longest streak in history of one team over another end. Tough year for the boys, very young. Even with the tough season you'd have thought we were 8-0 with all of the usual enthusiam from the ND faithful.
Had to throw this in. Brook's (and Garrett's too I believe) very first Irish jersey. Future Domers of course
