There are two kinds of people in the world, Notre Dame lovers and Notre Dame haters. And, quite frankly, they're both a pain in the ass.

Dan Devine

The only reason I wanted to go to college was so I could go to Notre Dame, and so after I graduate from Notre Dame I could go to heaven.

Rudy Ruettiger

The University of Notre Dame does not redshirt, and I endorse that policy completely. I am very much in favor of redshirting, but not at Notre Dame. But there's no doubt about it. It puts us at a huge disadvantage.

Lou Holtz

To my father, Notre Dame represented the underdogs of the world, the Italians, and the Polish people. I told him that one day I would play football for Notre Dame and worked hard to make that dream come true.

Rudy Ruettiger

If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who's been successful at another college program, they're going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.

Lou Holtz

I remember when I drove into Notre Dame, getting ready for the first day of work. I had an electrical charge go up my back because I realized all of a sudden that I was responsible for the traditions that the Knute Rocknes and the Frank Leahys had set, and what Notre Dame stood for.

You don't go to Notre Dame to learn something, you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

Lou Holtz

You don't go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

Lou Holtz

Notre Dame is the one school that has a national recruiting base, from Florida to Texas to California.

Lou Holtz

After Notre Dame, what is there?

Three coaches at Notre Dame made a big difference in my life, not that I played any football when I attended Notre Dame. But Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, and Lou Holtz - they all made a difference to me, and I respected them for their attitudes about life and how they handled loss.

Regis Philbin

I'm an old man, and all my life I've said that Notre Dame should remain independent because it's a national school.

Lou Holtz

I had grown up during a time when Notre Dame football was held in the highest esteem. I listened to all of the games on the radio.

Notre Dame and Sydney - that was nothing. Notre Dame doesn't have a police station; it is not 1,000 or so feet high. It was a public structure, very easy to access. And Sydney Harbour Bridge was half-and-half: a bridge, in the middle of the night. The World Trade Center was the end of the world. Electronic devices, police dogs.

Philippe Petit

I have always respected how Bobby Bowden would go out and challenge any opponent, and he produced some legendary games against the University of Miami and Notre Dame.

James Carville

I was still rooting for Notre Dame.It's like there's the cultural Catholic experience.
