They and their teammates, coached by Knute Rockne, lost only two of 30 games in the years 1922–24. How to thank TFD for its existence?

After the bull would buck the rider off, four horsemen would enter the ring with lassos to catch the bull and return it to the pen for the next rider. In South Bend, the Golden Dome deflects its shimmering rays and gridiron legacy down to a field once trudged on by the likes by Rockne, Leahy, and The Four Horsemen. |
