47 years ago today: the Game of the Century

 

 

On this day, forty-seven years ago, Michigan State and Notre Dame clashed in a titanic battle of #1 versus #2. In a controversial ending, Notre Dame "settled" for the tie, and maintained its number one ranking. Though unsatisfactory at the time, the fact that the game was a tie is the reason people still talk about the game to this day.

Enjoy this vintage black-and-white YouTube video of the entire game.
