Replies to: Notre Dame vs. Miami Rivalry
It's only a rivalry for the AARP crowd.
The rivalry ended in 1990.
Obviously u were never at any of those games. I was at the 3rd rendition of it in 1990
And will never forget the environment.
It’s not the same as it was but those games and the environment will never be duplicated. The teams and fan bases hated each other. That’s the reason why the games were stopped. It did cross a line.
So I am guilty as charged as well.
Guilty as Charged, Sir!!

It was based on their coaches: Schnellenberger, Johnson and Erickson. So 1981 - 1990. And really
...it was probably only Johnson and Erickson.
Schnellenberger only did well against ND because of Faust's ineptitude...
Leave jimmy Johnson’s ass for me is all u need to know. Even holtz got caught up in it.

Those three were the trifecta of scum and villainy
Howard Schnellenbarger started all of the dirty stuff at Miami.
Jimmy Johnson embraced it and took it to the next level, such as all of that Pell Grant fraud, as well as encouraging the thug culture.
Dennis Erickson maintained the status quo, as the nickname of "Convicts" came to the forefront. Having the 2 Live Crew as their cheerleaders didn't help the image either, especially when Luther Campbell was putting cash bounties on Irish players.
Erickson cowardly left for the Seahawks, since he knew the investigations were finally coming, and Butch Davis was left holding the bag.
Davis actually rebuilt Miami better, and cleaner, until that scumbag Larry Coker came around.

The trifecta of college football coaching scum.
You are correct about their path to “greatness”…

The Canes were bad, didn't take no jive, even though their coach used VO5.....

I'm in that Demographic but I agree. I just don't "feel" the enmity in the air for the U anymore.
In fact, I feel that college rivalries in general are becoming passé.
Social media makes everything today seem so so instantaneous and fleeting.
It's like our society suffers from collective ADHD.
My rivalry game begins & ends w/ USC. Started in 1964 & hasn't waned.

Mine also AND it also began in ‘64, which I listened to on the radio.
Next I was at ND for the “Remember” game… which is now forgotten.
Lore means very little in today’s fast paced world
The real score for the 1988 game is ND 31 - dUh 23. The late reception by Miami was dropped.
Fuck Miami and Jimi Johnson too.
GO IRISH
fuck miami
ND 49 - um 12
Carson Beck gets benched in 3rd Q.
