University of Notre Dame Football Vault »

In The University of Notre Dame Football Vault®: The History of the Fighting Irish, John Heisler introduces readers to the legendary history of one of America's most admired and talked about college football programs. From its humble beginnings on a muddy South Bend field in 1887 to the powerhouse teams of today, Fighting Irish fans will once again experience the glory days of coaching greats Knute Rockne, Elmer Layden and Ara Parseghian. Just like the pages of a family scrapbook, this Football Vault® is stuffed with rarely seen snapshots, images and photos-all intermixed with a variety of intriguing replica memorabilia. Reproductions include a 1924 ticket to Notre Dame's first bowl game, handwritten Rockne play diagrams from the 1930s, a bumper sticker from the 1973 National Championship and a ticket to the 1997 Notre Dame Stadium Rededication Game. Never before has the history of the Fighting Irish been told in such a vivid, graphic and entertaining format.
