        Cathy pointed him (his name) out to me during the game today.

        EDIT: How many of your wives would pick up on the Rockne connection (to Studebaker)?

          My Wife did and then pointed out that all players had the same name on the back of their uniforms - Rockne. Seems ND was wearing throwback uniforms in honor of all of their Seniors since it was Senior Day.

          For those who ask, Andy Studebaker is retired from the league and has not played for at least two years. His last team was the Colts.

            Thanks for the update on Andy Studebaker. I sorta lost track of time. Can’t believe it’s been nine years since Mr. Studebaker was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles!

              Shouldn't this be in Stove Huggers?

                  I now live across the highway from Notre Dame. It was cold and wet during the ND/Navy game. I watched on TV enjoying the comfort of my recliner! The Rockne name was eye-catching.

                    Always great to see that name as it always reminds me of the 30's in the Studebaker drama.

                      It was certainly nice of the University of Notre Dame to honor Studebaker's Rockne automobile with its name on the backs of all the football players.

                        I have the great Knute Rockne signature on a Studebaker contract letter just before he died in that Kansas plane crash.
