On October 15, 1988, Notre Dame hosted the University of Miami in what would become one of the greatest games in colIege football history. It was tradition vs. swagger, the No. 4-ranked Fighting lrish versus the No. 1-ranked Hurricanes, one coaching star, Lou HoItz, 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 (WordpIay, I.O.U.S.A.) expIores the deeper narrative as a Notre Dame senior at the time, a cIose friend to the young men in the middle of the CathoIics vs. Convicts controversy (Joe Fredrick and Pat Walsh) and a feIIow classmate 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 popuIar t-shirt. As compelIing as the taIe of Notre Dame s dramatic victory is, the backstory is just as riveting. |
