A bald eagle that was part of the pre-game ceremonies at AT&T Stadium before the Cotton Bowl on Saturday made a premature and unexpected landing on a Notre Dame fan.
The fan didn't seem to mind.
This fan just got the memory of a lifetime during the #CottonBowl national anthem 😂

Notre Dame kicked off the first College Football Playoff semifinal against Clemson moments after the comical mishap.
