A fellow graduate student passed on this great moment in Congressional history -- a floor speech titled "Notre Dame will rise again" from November 21, 1993:
Mr. KING. Mr. Speaker, with all the events of the last week, NAFTA, the Brady bill, D.C. statehood, allegations of stolen elections, I think it is important we focus on one of the most momentous tragedies of our time, and that was Notre Dame's loss to Boston College yesterday.
As an alumnus of Notre Dame, it pains me to extend congratulations to Congressman Blute and Congressman Markey for proving that, unfortunately, in this instance God was on the side of Catholic Boston College as opposed to Catholic Notre Dame.
But I wanted to tell them on behalf of my colleagues, Mr. Roemer, Mr. Mazzoli, and Mr. McDade, that our day will come, and the good Catholics will finally emerge over those of Boston College, and Notre Dame will rise again.
