History vs. Tradition

This Isn't Your Father's Notre Dame...

Notre Dame football no longer has "tradition", they have "history", much like the juggernaut Army squads of the 40s & 50s.

Why you ask? Consider:

tra·di·tion: The passing down of elements of a culture from generation to generation.
his·to·ry: The branch of knowledge that records and analyzes past events; something that belongs to the past.
