November 2014, Northwestern limps into South Bend on a 4-game losing streak, sporting a 3-6 record to face 18th ranked Notre Damned. The rest is history. Enjoy the highlights:

Thanks for that. Just as exciting watching it this time around. I can’t wait for this Saturday.
Thanks for sharing. I was at the game and it was exciting to re-live it. A few thoughts:
- I think we had more 20+ yard plays in that game than we've had this season.
- Prater was unstoppable.
- I remember thinking it was over when ND scored to go up 40-29 with 6-7 minutes left. I left my seat to use the bathroom during what I assumed would be an ND extra point. I heard on the radio in the bathroom as ND failed a two-point conversation and wonder why on Earth they would go for two there. It's still an inexplicable decision.
- Considering our kicking issues this season, Jack Mitchell was so clutch that day.
- I've been going to games since 1991 and this game has to be in my top 3 for most exciting victory. It had everything, including the perfect setting (I hate ND, but seeing a game there is a special experience).

I was at a casual dinner party and trying to watch over my shoulder. When it "got out of hand", I decided to turn it off and socialize. As dinner was ending, my phone started lighting up.
"Are you seeing this????" M Fan
"Holy sh*t! You guys could take them down again!" Bucky Fan
I calmly told my other half that I was going to turn the game back on - hosts be damned. I did so just in time to see OT. Good stuff.

Here is a great compilation of Cardiac Cats moments over the years leading up to and including the 2014 win over ND.
Nerves of steel.
In the highlights below, got another memory of Big Dwayne Bates, NU's last all-world WR - still looking for the next one.
Was fortunate to be at this game as well as 1995. Froze at this one and I think it was around 90 degrees in 1995. Looks like it will be around 50 Friday and I will be there for sure. Hoping for the same result as the first two. Go Cats.
