Bear Bachmeier’s bad recruiting time with Notre Dame helped motivate
While on a recruiting trip to Notre Dame, Bear Bachmeier had a bad experience, and used that as motivation to beat the Irish.
BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier, who once held a high-profile recruiting position with Notre Dame, has shared his thoughts on the university's treatment during the recruitment process. The Irish influence was apparent in Bachmeier's life, given his family's deep connection with the program. Despite earning an offer from Notre Dame and even visiting the campus, Bachmeier ultimately chose to follow his brother Tiger to Stanford.
However, their decision to join BYU was driven by a desire for a better experience, as Bachmeier revealed following the game.
Bachmeier expressed his disappointment with Notre Dame's actions, stating that the team disrespected him and his family during the recruitment process. He emphasized the personal nature of the situation, saying, "I wasn't going to lose to those guys." This statement, shared by John Brice, highlights the emotional impact that Notre Dame's actions had on Bachmeier and his family. The experience appears to have left a lasting negative impression on Bachmeier, further solidifying his decision to join BYU.
