It's ONU vs. ND Friday night in robotic football; but wait until you hear about the real ONU-ND football game of 1913

By Monty Siekerman
ONU faces Notre Dame in football Friday night under the lights, but it isn't what it seems.
The football contest features robots. The "lights" are inside King-Horn, a gymnasium, not turf.

And, ONU is out for revenge...no one today can recall the time Notre Dame skunked ONU 87 to naught, with a real pigskin...that was 102 years ago...in 1913.

Now there is a story behind the football drubbing that ONU took at the hands of the Irish more than a century ago.
