 "Let BYgones Be Back"

Vintage ticket stub from the Nov. 22, 1980 football showdown between Air Force and Notre Dame in South Bend.

The ticket features the tri-captains Bob Crable, John Scully and Tom Gibbons.

Linebacker Crable played 66 games in the NFL for the New York Jets from 1982 to 1987. Scully, a guard and center, played 112 games from 1981 to 1990 for the Atlanta Falcons.

This was Dan Devine’s last of six years coach the Fighting Irish. The Irish had worked their way to No. 1 in the nation before settling for a 3-3 tie with Georgia Tech, which knocked them back to No. 6, but a 7-0 victory over Alabama a week later boosted them back to No. 2.

The Irish dispatched with the Air Force 24-10 and heading into the final week, ND was 9-0-1. They ended in a disappointing fashion, however, losing to USC and on Jan. 1, to No. 1 George in the Sugar Bowl.

Reverse features a diagram of Notre Dame Stadium with directions to gates and seating sections.

Ticket measures approximately 3 7/8” x 2 ¼”.
