Notre Dame football players come from different backgrounds, but they all share the common goal of doing their school proud. That’s what makes football a brotherhood. You might win or lose, but the pursuit of the mountaintop is what brings them together. Pretty soon, Notre Dame’s seniors will stop wearing the gold and blue uniforms, and most of them never will play football again, which makes Senior Day at Notre Dame Stadium a real celebration.
Before the Irish take the field against Syracuse, a video featuring this year’s seniors both in their younger days and now was released. It only proves the theory that time really goes by too fast:

As you can see, some of these players always have had their hearts set on Notre Dame, so their time in an Irish uniform is the fulfillment of a childhood dream. That they were able to achieve it is a source of pride for the rest of their lives. Of course, winning the whole thing would make it even sweeter.
