Remember When
Carnegie Deli Opens on Seventh Avenue in New York City on March 11, 1937
The Orgel family has just opened their deli for the neighborhood. The Pastrami and Corned Beef sandwiches are larger than any deli I have ever been to in the city. The sandwich prices are fair; 50 cents. The pickles are crisp and sour, the coleslaw is fresh, and the chopped liver is delicious. Carnegie Deli is featuring recipes from Eastern Europe. There are 40 seats and a small counter.
NOTRE DAME STADIUM | 1930
The first game ever played in this iconic stadium was on October 4, 1930, when Knute Rockne’s Fighting Irish defeated SMU 20-14. Notre Dame would go undefeated that season and win the national championship – one of nine Notre Dame teams to win the championship since the stadium opened. Seven Heisman winners, including the legendary Paul Hornung called this stadium home; as did non-Heisman winner Rudy Ruettiger, for whom the movie “Rudy” was based. “Touchdown Jesus” continues to oversee the stadium from above the end zone each Saturday as memories and legends continue to be made each passing year.

The 1974 ACC Tournament was played in Greensboro, North Carolina from March 7-9
Three of the top teams in the country, NC State, Maryland, and North Carolina, all of whom were loaded with future NBA stars, competed in the tournament. While top ranked NC State, led by David Thompson breezed to the final, Maryland, led by John Lucas, Len Elmore, and Tom McMillen defeated North Carolina, led by Bobby Jones, Walter Davis, and Mitch Kupchak in the semifinals by a score of 105-85. That led to one of the great conference finals in NCAA history, in which NC State beat Maryland 103-100 in overtime. The significance of that championship game was that Maryland, considered to be one of the top teams in the nation, did not get to play in the NCAA Tournament, which back then only admitted one team per conference. In large part due to Maryland’s exclusion from the tournament that year, the field was expanded the following year to 32 teams to allow for some at large bids. After defeating Maryland in the memorable 1974 ACC final, NC State went on to win the national championship.
