Description
Available here is (1) copy of a very unique LP from former USC football coach John McKay:
"Gentlemen, We're Behind!", released by Trojan Records after the amazing 1974 football game between USC and Notre Dame.
The setting:
USC vs. Notre Dame, Nov. 30, 1974
Notre Dame had a 24-0 lead just a minute before the end of the first half. USC scored just before halftime (and missed the conversion) to
make the score 24-6 at the half. Coach McKay is quoted as having said during halftime something like “Gentlemen, if you block like you should, Anothony Davis will carry the second-half kickoff back for a score, and we’ll go on from there. Let’s go!!” USC’s Anthony Davis took the second half kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown, and the comeback was on. The Trojans scored 55 unanswered points in only 17 minutes!!! The Trojans won the game 55-24. Father Theodore Hesburgh, the Notre Dame president, congratulated Coach John McKay after the game, then added, “That wasn’t a very nice thing for a Catholic to do.” Replied McKay: “Father, that serves you right for hiring a Presbyterian (Coach Ara Parseghian).”
Neither team was a “cream puff”. USC went on to win the Rose Bowl and the UPI and MacArthur Bowl National Championships, and Notre Dame went on to ruin Alabama’s National Championship hopes in the Orange Bowl.
The vinyl on this LP is in very solid VG+ condition; a handful of very light scratches and smudges spread across the two sides, very glossy. The cover is also solid VG+ with no seam splits, light wear for age. Plain paper liner. Both labels are clean and complete.
