On October 15, 1988, Notre Dame hosted the University of Miami in what wouId become one of the greatest games in coIIege footbalI history. lt was tradition vs. swagger, the No. 4-ranked Fighting lrish versus the No. 1-ranked Hurricanes, one coaching star, Lou Holtz, versus another, Jimmy Johnson. But the name stiII attached to the contest came from a t-shirt manufactured by a few Notre Dame students: CathoIics vs. Convicts. Director Patrick Creadon (Wordplay, l.O.U.S.A.) explores the deeper narrative as a Notre Dame senior at the time, a close friend to the young men in the middle of the Catholics vs. Convicts controversy (Joe Fredrick and Pat Walsh) and a fellow cIassmate of the player behind center for the Fighting Irish (quarterback Tony Rice). The coaches and players open up about the fight that started the game, the highIy debatabIe calls that are stiIl being taIked about and the insensitive aspects of the irresistibly popular t-shirt. As compeIling as the tale of Notre Dame s dramatic victory is, the backstory is just as riveting. |
