Strange things have a way of happening when rival teams venture onto the Notre Dame campus. Backed by the loudest, most rabid rooters this side of the Roman Colosseum, the Fighting Irish invariably play over their own heads-while their luckless opponents lose theirs-in an ear-shattering din that is roughly akin to playing inside a bass drum.
