Talking College Football History: Mike Townsend

We have one of the captains of the 1973 Notre Dame national championship team this week.  Mike Townsend joins us to talk about his years at Notre Dame (1971-1973).  Mike not only played football for Ara Parseghian, but he was also a part of the basketball team and played for Digger Phelps.  Mike was a defensive back on the football team and his brother Willie was a wide receiver.  Willie also played basketball with Mike and they are unique in the fact that both brothers played football and basketball at a Division I school.  Mike shares stories about his Notre Dame career, playing on a national championship team and also being a part of the rebuilding of Notre Dame basketball.
