College Football - 1988 #1 Miami Hurricanes @ #4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Dubbed "Catholics vs. Convicts". The Irish, got negative attention from that statement, it was a very anti-Christan (where was that Love Jesus was always talking about?) Then the Irish went on to start a pre-game fight. Then, The Hurricanes and Fighting Irish played close all game, but a questionable funmble call kept Miami from winning this game, a great game played by both teams.

LOL, Randy Shannon was a starter on this team! And then he would end up getting fired while the HC at The U.

Thank God for Al Golden :D

Randy Shannon was actually one of the best DC for The U and in fact, almost got the job at Texas..

I bet Texas regrets not hiring him -_-

It's kind of funny that Pat Haden brought up the Catholic quarterbacks that didn't go to Notre Dame because he's also a member of that group.

Miami should of won

Awesome video quality! But, poor, sad excuse for Miami losing.

Plus the ball carrier bobbled the ball a bit, so he didn't even have full possession anyway. He was losing grasp of the ball. When that happens, before your body is down, that's what's known as a FUMBLE!!!! It was the right call. Both pat Haden and Brent musberger agreed it was the right call, after looking at the replay on a couple of occasions. ND was the better team that day. They won fair and square.

Canes fans can be miffed about the fumble call if they want to, but clearly it was a fumble. The ball carrier lost control of the ball JUST, and I emphasize just, before his body hit the ground. It was close. Anyway, Miami ended up scoring a TD later anyway. Notre Dame didn't make Jimmy johnson go for the 2 point conversion. Not our fault he was a bit greedy. You had a chance to tie it up but you chose to risk it. You rolled snake eyes. The end.

Ah, the good ol' days of football where the kicker would say the Hail Mary BEFORE the opening kickoff. Awesome.

This was THE GAME where Notre Dame came out of the shits and became THE SHIT in College Football.

@FRSFreeStateNow Yeah, until the fans (and to a certain extent, Jimmy Johnson) ruined it and forced it to be stopped. ;-(

[FRSFreeStateNow]

This used to be a great rivalry
