i wish I could have been there, glad you got a great memory.

@@michaelwall2304 thank you!

Appreciated seeing u play #2. I'm from Miami and it was a time from 81 -94 for those Canes it was a pleasure rooting u guys on..by the way Roland Smith is my class of 87 brother (Miami Northwestern)

Charles Pharms , I lived in Indiana and I rooted for MIAMI to beat Notre Dame cause of all the goody 2 shoes kids I went to school with, Canes were like the dudes you grew up with in the hood , took no bs from nobody

Derek Thompson The media’s hatred of Miami made everybody who was anti-tradition root for Miami. Seeing them beat Notre Dame was amazing.

What was the better battle ND or FSU back in 89 or better yet who did the CANES have more respect for NOLES or those LIL green IRISH people

I'm from Gary IN to be honest there never was a rivalry between Miami and ND 1988 Miami was screwed by the officials for their ONLY victory so where's the rivalry!

Ha ha lil choirboys

Really????? That’s petty. Notre Dame wanted to be worshipped. Get outta here!

Wow that's hella petty

"The animated graphics of the ND Leprechaun being blown by the winds of the Hurricane and being dropped into the stadium by an Ibis bird, is one of the primary reasons why ND separated from CBS" I would love to see you support that crap.

@@robjohnson8861 I don't know...sounds about right.

Puts a smile on my face.

Keeping Osborne from winning his 1st NC was right up there.

I always thought it was 4th and 43 for some reason.....

That was the play of the game, without question!

Might've won the game for them. Over 10 minute drive that put 7 on the board and had ND in panic mode with their offense playing pitiful. Canes punt and it puts the ball at the 50 yard line for ND.

Manny Suarez RIP Cortez Kennedy.

@@randydubin7118 the best player from Miami is Cortez Kennedy 2 rings NFL rookie of year Hall of Famer RIP

100% correct. Jamielle Holloway is the best option qb I ever saw. The Canes snuffed their supposedly awesome wishbone attack, with an ease that was almost laughable. In 3 games the Sooners totaled 40 points. MEN against boys.

ND beat Miami in 88' and 90' with that offense.

thfzn They always seem to want to forget about 1988 and 1990.Two glorious ND victories over Miami.

@@thfzn Read my original post again. Read it for a 3rd time. Then get back to me.

Just wait.. they need a real coach

No they won't. That program is dead. They are back to the "suntan U" days of the 1970's Go Gators

@@cicada9471 just wait

@@ManuelBorge 24-20. With Felipe Franks, one of the worst qb's to start for UF. Still waitin'

Lou's teams were great, but they couldn't play catch up.

They were throwing downfield in the 4th quarter.

Eric Daniel that’s their offense.

Just like we made the U cry like bitches 1988

Cap NCook505 the refs was on ND side

@@capncook5054 2017 41-8

Yeah but it doesn't mean they didn't get into a lot of trouble off the field it was true and how do you know all the players graduated I think you might just be making that up

​@@coreybrooks8592all loses blame the officials

We didn't care. We beat these punks where it mattered. On the field. All about The U baby!

The violence from Miami was OFF the field. In all my years going to games, that is the only time I was concerned for my physical safety. Miami's bandwagon fans have a lot less class than their players.

UM simply can't recruit the highly talented south Florida players like they used to back in the 1980's.

7 turnovers doest help

As a "U" fan, I felt the same way when Notre Dame beat Miami the year before. I was giddy during and of course after the game ended. There was a lot of controversy in 1988 & 1989 because Notre Dame and UM were clearly the two best teams in all of college football.

Say what? Holtz left ND in 1996. His wife had cancer at the time and Miami had fallen from the ranks of great teams. Do you have a clue as to what your talking about?

thfzn ...nonsense Holtz left Notre Dame because of the academic standards the university was forcing on the athletic department. Half these fools couldn’t academically qualify to attend Notre Dame.

Dane Wikinger You think Lou Holtz left ND because of Miami? If so, you're a fool.

thfzn .....I guess you can’t read...?

Holtz's wife had cancer at the time, that's a fact. But It's true ND no longer allowed academic exemptions for the football team and I'm sure that played into his decision, but it sure as heck wasn't because of Miami.

And before that guess who was talking shit? All the stupid was Miami players. It goes back and fourth. Miami has a big mouth but what have they done recently?

@@capncook5054 beat Notre Dames ass on National tv or was that not recent enough lol

@@capncook5054 Didn't Miami annihilate another overrated ND team a couple years ago?

Michael Wall because they were a bunch of classless punks

@@donnix768 Bitter much? Sorry they stole your lunch money and laughed at you while doing it!!! LOL!

I remembered how angry Lou Holtz was when Notre Dame didn't win or at least gain a share of the National Title for the 1989 season. This season had some intense controversy for who was truly No. 1. I'm a UM fan and was glad they won, but there was a part of me as a fan that felt for Notre Dame fans. For UM fans, 1988 was tough after losing the Catholics vs Convicts game. But this game was equally a tough loss for Notre Dame too in 1989. I'm glad to have watched these two teams play. Both teams were clearly the cream of the crop in the college football world in the late 1980's. I think true football fans appreciated both games. I most certainly did.

Jason C The eye test? How about Miami beating the shit out of them by 17 points. Notre Dame tried to snake their way to the NC. They took The Orange Bowl bid prior to this game. If it was given out after the game like it should’ve been Miami plays Colorado and wins the national title

Miami was ranked #3 after the ND win! They had to beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, plus have #1 Colorado and #2 Michigan both lose (it was a split #2 vote Michigan one poll, Miami the other pre-bowls)! All three happened and Miami won the national title fair and square; along with their convincing win over ND being thrown in! Fact is, Miami controlled their own destiny and they took care of the control while no one else did! The 'Canes deserved to be national champs!

@@cbod14 There was a lot of controversy in 1989. I remembered that the old Big 8 Conference champion would get 1/2 of the Orange Bowl invitation. And Notre Dame being an independent (still are) was offered the Orange Bowl big before the game. As a fan, I was sort of glad multiple scenarios happened because I have always been an advocate for at least a 4 team playoff format. But style was the name of the game back in the day. And, Notre Dame unfortunately had to play UM for their last game. I have the SI cover which covered this game titled - Revenge!

@@toddsands6000 I remember that cover. This was a crazy season.

@@cbod14 Looking back, I appreciated watching the 1988 Catholics vs Convicts game, and this 1989 UM vs ND revenge game. Looking back, I have great respect for both teams. The intensity from both those games were off the charts.

Enough with the thugs shit. They were a great team during those time. They were so good that many envy them. Enough to point out their only flaw against them.

Notre Dame has been average over the last 20 years.

Broh...You must be really young. I’m a Notre Dame fan and this Miami team was utterly stacked. Defensively they surrendered only 1.5 yards per carry on rush defense. Again a Notre Dame fan here...They had Erickson, Leon Searcy, Wesley Carroll, Luis Cristobal, Mark Sullivan, Rob Chudzinski, Randall Hill, Dale Dawkins, Steve McGuire, Leonard Conley, Lamar Thomas, Heisman winner Gino Toretta...On Defense they had the best D-line in college football in Peguese, Kennedy, Maryland, and Greg Mark. LB’s Newbill, Maurice Crum (son played at ND), Bernard Clark...backfield of Hurlie Brown, Ryan McNeil, Charles Pharms. Throw in Carlos Huerta at punter and a stud true frosh in Jesse Armstead at LB. I’m 38 and a Notre Dame fan and I just rattled off all those Miami names without even researching the team. FWIW, this game had a record number of NFL draft picks in it at the time...Don’t quote me but there were near 70 NFL draft picks that played in this game...The NFL draft had like 12 rounds tho back in this era.

Cortez Kennedy is in the Hall of Fame🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️ Russell Maryland was Number One pick and had a very good career. Plus several other players that had long careers. Where have you been????

@@brendanmartin2774 And a lot of people thought they would be in rebuilding mode after loosing a lot of talent to the NFL in 87 and 88 but they reloaded real quick.

@@brendanmartin2774 And Brendan, I'm right there with ya! Either that guy is too young and just personally opinionated or he suffers from memory loss! I just recently turned 49 and I vividly remember those Miami ND late '80s and 1990 battles! And glad u didn't forget Bernard Clark! His quickness on the snap and lock to tackle ability made him one of Miami's best linebackers ever! He may have been the most underrated and had he seriously pursued the NFL, there's no doubt he'd have had a steady career! Torretta didn't see much field time then (was only a true freshman on that team), but the rest of those guys u listed all saw a percentage and or all of the snaps that season! So I'd like to know what team CK is mixing up with this one!
