Catholics vs. Convicts

December 2016 •English

On October 15, 1988, Notre Dame hosted the University of Miami in what would become one of the greatest games in college football history.

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.
