It actually spawned from the 1969 season. LSU had maybe its best team under Cholly Mac and ND basically stole a Cotton Bowl bid from the Tigers.

Scheduled a home/home in early 70's ( ND won first game 3-0 but Tigers basically ruined Joe THeismans Heisman chances shutting him down, Tigers destroyed ND 28-8 in TS behind Bert Jones)

After that both schools realized they had some things in common, deep catholic roots being one and played 6 more regular season games in the 80's and 90's. 2 bowl matchups on top of those eight. It's a good series, would like to see a couple games every ten yrs or so
