Joe Montana to Kris Haines -- touchdown! Haines was Notre Dame's leading pass receiver in 1978 with 32 catches for 699 yards, most of those coming from all-star quarterback Montana. In fact, Haines caught the game-winning touchdown from Montana as time ran out in the 1979 Cotton Bowl against Houston. It capped an amazing comeback as the Irish trailed by 22 points with 12 minutes remaining.
Thirty years later, Haines was looking forward to connecting with Montana again during the Notre Dame alumni football team's trip to Japan.
"When Joe found out I was coming, he decided not to come," a chuckling Haines told FanHouse. "Obviously, he didn't want to see me."
