Sixty-Eight: ’The Tragedy&the Triumph’ - The Stories of Ralph Dimick and George Philbrook - a podcast by Alex Painter (Onward to Victory)

For today's selection, we head back to the time 'before Rockne' to celebrate a duo of friends and teammates who helped turn the tide of the Notre Dame football - and who just may have stirred up some serious eligibility controversy along the way! To be fair, there were very few rules regarding this then.

Dimick and Philbrook, members of the excellent 1909 team that was first dubbed the 'Fighting Irish', distinguished themselves as Notre Dame men. One died an incredibly tragic death, while the other experienced the triumph of a lifetime just mere months later. Enjoy!
