Maurice Crum Sr. still remembers the horrors of his first trip to Notre Dame.

"Oh my goodness, it was one of those things I'll never forget," the former Miami linebacker said. "The thing I remember more than anything is going to the game and how the fans were still miles away from the stadium, but it seemed like there was a crowd everywhere. Everyone was yelling, 'Convicts vs. Catholics.' Getting off the bus, there had to be 100,000 signs out there."

When he returns to Notre Dame now, Crum gets an altogether different reception.

Those jeers the former Miami All-American once heard have been replaced by the cheers befitting the father of Notre Dame senior linebacker Maurice Crum Jr., who led the Irish in tackles last year.

The hero's welcome the elder Crum now receives is a scenario nobody could have expected during his playing career.
