Miami v. Notre Dame Rivalry : 101

The Rakontur guys uploaded some Miami / Notre Dame footage from ‘The U’ documentary to YouTube recently, just in time to get the juices flowing for this year’s Sun Bowl.

For those who haven’t seen it, some great clips from the 1988 showdown in South Bend – including the pre-game brawl and the phantom Cleveland Gary fumble, as well as the showdown in the Orange Bowl the following season where the Canes went on to smack up the No. 1 Irish, ending a win streak and propelling Miami towards a title of its own in 1989.

Enjoy the footage and get amped up for another Canes / Irish showdown nine days from now in El Paso. Doesn’t quite have the same luster as those late 80s match ups – but anytime Miami and Notre Dame go toe-to-toe, it’s all about beating the other guy, retaining bragging rights and shutting up an arrogant, entitled rival.

Also, bowl gear in stock – including “The Luck Stops Here” tee and the ‘Rivalry Renewed’ Sun Bowl tee.
