Two ND games stick out from my childhood. This game and the 93 game vs. FSU, not just because of the Irish wins, but the sheer volume of the crowd. It's amazing to have experienced both of these games and still remember the crowd noise. I'm not sure what BK will do during his tenure at ND, but I'd like to see these kind of wins happen in South Bend in the near future.
Yeah and then the '93 team turned around and couldn't even beat Boston College to validate their status! That was an inexcusable loss to say the least! No way with what was at stake and ND playing at home that the Irish should have gone thru the game with a lax attitude! Huge emotional letdown was an understatement and then they complained as to why FSU ended up #1 ahead of them after the bowls! Forgetting they simply had themselves to blame for their predicament
U beat Boston College and they're would have been no questions asked! U eliminate the what-if's! Instead the Irish blew it and it cost them the national championship
@@mikey7189 The rivalry was nasty on the field, too. Thank goodness for Notre Dame's football deal with the ACC, which allows the rivalry to be renewed every so often.
@88cutty I couldn't agree any more with you. I was very lucky to see this game and other great matchups. Sadly it will never go back. Miami in 1988 played a incredible schedule , no way they could do that now. This was the game that got me hooked into College Football till present day.
ND played Michigan, Penn St, USC, Stanford, Miami and undefeated West Virginia team in the Fiesta Bowl that year. You say, Miami played an incredible schedule that year?
god...remember when notre dame used to compete for national titles...ever since the fsu game in '93...it's been mediocrity to decency...nothing better.
ND not the best team right now, but has best program, history, tradition, fight song, uniform, location, etc. Most national champions, Heisman winners. Hopefully, ND will return to national elite status that has been missed since Lou was coach. We miss you Lou.
1988-Miami 1993-Florida State 2020-Clemson Something about now-ACC schools who were powerhouses ranked no. 1 going into Notre Dame Stadium and losing (I know Miami was an independent in '88 which is why I said now-ACC schools)
John Jones no there were brawls in the stands every time ND came to Miami...ND fans complained about being harassed, assaulted and robbed in little Havana....as they should be! #GoCanes
Awww, poor little sissy snow flake Irish fans. Miami kicking the living shit out of Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl and the Miami fans beating the shit out of arrogant Irish fans in the stands. I miss the good old days! #TheU
@fooseven You are wrong dude,after cleveland caught the ball an Irish player put a hit on him jaring the ball loose and the Irish recoverd! I have seen this play many times and the ref's made the right call!
if u actually watch the clip youre right it shouldnt have been a fumble. it should have been an incomplete pass cuz he never had possession of the ball and instead of notre dame getting the ball on the 5 or wherever they get it on their own goal line so consider yourself lucky
@rapiddominace Speaking of the Suckeyes, I hear they're giving two for one tattoo specials on campus. Supposedly you can pay with cash, check, or football memorabilia. Have fun next season with all your cheaters being suspended.
Miami wants to bitch and complain about that so called fumble in the 4th quarter at the Notre Dame Goal Line that cost them a 1st and goal and most likely the game( Yes indeed it was a very bad call). However the Hurricanes had a total of 7 turnovers in this game( 4 fumbles and 3 interceptions). Most of them occurred inside Notre Dame territory. I don't care how talented or good you are; you will lose 99.9/100% of the time when you commit that many mistakes in a game; especially on the road no matter who you are up against. If Miami doesn't commit a single turnover in this game, they win this one rather easily.
Since CBS has the rights to the Sun Bowl and all, can they just hire back Brent Musberger to really bring back the memories, like when he always seemed to get upset when mentioning the Hurricanes...
@@sherryhannah9262 I will, only because I’m so bored that I decided to reply to a reply of a comment that was made two presidential administrations ago.
@skinch22 the NFL agents are to blame as well for these problems. Notre Dame will never be back to where they use to be; they're living in the past. What player from Southern California,Texas or Florida would want to go to South Bend?
@Hunkola Ooooh, the wars. I'm hating these conference realingments. It's killing rivalies. Over the years Florida has 4 teams that didn't even exsist in 1988. FAU, FIU, UCF & USF.
I don't think that the series of games proposed to begin in 2013 can ever live up to the ones in the late 80's. I'm a Miami fan and don't know that both teams will among college football's elite.
@umcane79 Yes he had the ball but DB George Streeter knocked the ball loose,he had his hand on the ball but did not have control and the Irish recovered...a good call by the refs!
@covrunner Maybe, but with more time on the clock, whos to say Miami wouldnt have gone for the extra point to tie, then kick off to Notre Dame to stop or force a turnover in which they did, then hit the field goal to win. Plus the Notre Dame fumble was legit, Gary's was not, thats what changes everything.
@carlosZ1981 They were not going to let Miami win that one, no doubt. That Gary fumble they called on the goal line has to be one of the worst calls I have ever seen, his knee was down and the ball had already crossed the goal line, yet they still call a fumble. Changed the outcome for sure.
I respect ND but how many titles have they won in modern times? All sports have that team that wins alot of championships when the sport is growing. Who cares about a bunch of wins from 40 years ago.
I miss Brent and Keith Jackson. Chris Fowler is awful. Herbstreit isn’t bad. I only remember Dick Enberg doing AFC games, not college but he was great.
Am I the only hurricane fan here? Well any Notre Dame fans out there, how was that game in 2017 (; yea ur ass got whooped by* the canes turnover chain lmao Edit: I said but instead of by oof
More than any I've ever seen, this game proves the better team doesn't always win. 7 TO's and a butchered fumble call and ND wins by a single point. Gee, what a shock, Notre Dame gets a bullshit call in their favor. Who would've ever guessed that? A neutral field and Miami wins by 24. In the Orange Bowl, The U would've won by 35 or more. Zero doubt who was better, but that's why you play the games on the field. On any given Saturday... And on this Saturday, the luck of the Irish was on display more than ever. It was one of the biggest thrills of a lifetime when the Irish came to the Orange Bowl the next year, a game us Canes fan waited a year for, and got absolutely pile drived by the Orange and Green. Yes, back when Miami always wore home orange instead of that stupid green or the ghetto black uniforms they often wear now. GOD IN HEAVEN I hate alternate jerseys!!! My only regret is that Jimmy Johnson left for Dallas because instead of a 27-10 win by Miami, it would've been more like 47-10. Oh well, we beat their sorry asses royally and won the National Championship in the Sugar Bowl over Alabama. Mission accomplished!
Greatest college football game I will ever see. CBS's broadcast was years ahead of it's time.
Thank goodness CBS is still using this theme 20+ years later. It by the way, was first used for CBS' Super Bowl XXI coverage.
Holy crap you're right. I had to search for it to be sure but I had no idea. The first and last time it was ever used for the NFL.
@@rebel1154 on this same game they were supposed to debut, after the game, one shining moment (with lyrics addapted to football). They ran out of time and one shining moment became the curtain call for March Madness
And they still use it for Big Ten Football.
This intro still gives me goose bumps.
You not lying
Incredible that two of the greatest games both took place in South Bend. This one and the one against FSU in 93🏈
first college football game i ever saw. i was 7, and this made me a notre dame fan.
I was in Marine Corps boot camp (October 4, 1988) when they played this game (October 15, 1988)
College football was SOOOOO much better when more major teams were independents.
Notre Dame Stadium : still a jewel
That campus is beyond perfect
First college football game I ever saw
I’m not sure it was first, but it was the first I remembered and it got me hooked on ND.

I would have liked to see them play on Jan 1, 1989 on a neutral field.
This game made me love college football.
#ThankYouBrent
i remember this game like yesterday,,,,and starting in 2012,,,the return of catholics vs convicts!!!!!!!!
I'd like to see these schools meet on the gridiron again. I hate that this rivalry ended.
it was because the Miami fans couldn't behave themselves
@@mikey7189 The rivalry was nasty on the field, too. Thank goodness for Notre Dame's football deal with the ACC, which allows the rivalry to be renewed every so often.

It's the intro u see the 4 horseman it gives u chills I'm a Miami fan I don't like the fact we lost but college football needed this game..
This was Notre Dame Football before the NBC contract,"The Shirt," the stadium expansion, etc. etc. LOL! Not in a bad way; just different.
god...remember when notre dame used to compete for national titles...ever since the fsu game in '93...it's been mediocrity to decency...nothing better.
Can't wait for Saturday!

@tommerrigan1956 Correction,Lou never lost to SC while at ND,ND beat them 11 years in a row including Lou's last season!
I'm so glad I was at this game, if only because I didn't have to listen to Musberger for three hours.
To my knowledge this is still the most watched college football game in television history...It was like 24 million people
Might be true, for the regular season. The Rose Bowl between SC and Texas (2006) had over 35 million
I glad cbs kept this theme song.
Brian Kelly's gonna take ND back to the top- GO IRISH!!!
This hasn't aged well :') we still can't win the big one.
well bribay 40 years from now people might say the same thing about football right now. it's important in any era
agreed... its a great one
OK dude you can live in the past all you want. ND is just a name right now.
Insightful and compelling bweez93. Did that characterization hit a little close to home? lol
THEY WILL PLAY AGAIN IN 2012 at SOLDIER FIELD!!!! WOOOOOHOOOO
ESPN does and NOTRE DAME WILL NEVER DIE GET OVER IT
GO NOTRE DAME
1988-Miami
1993-Florida State
2020-Clemson
Something about now-ACC schools who were powerhouses ranked no. 1 going into Notre Dame Stadium and losing
(I know Miami was an independent in '88 which is why I said now-ACC schools)
i was at the game and have the only copy of lou holtz pep rally speech
@madrecka Notre Dame has always had high standards for academics. Therefore it's always gonna be tough to recruit some of the best athletes.
Damn why did Notre Dame end the rivalry??? it was so great and intense.
The Brawls
Marcel Miller I guess.
Marcel Miller There was one brawl and Notre Dame instigated it.
John Jones no there were brawls in the stands every time ND came to Miami...ND fans complained about being harassed, assaulted and robbed in little Havana....as they should be! #GoCanes
Awww, poor little sissy snow flake Irish fans. Miami kicking the living shit out of Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl and the Miami fans beating the shit out of arrogant Irish fans in the stands. I miss the good old days! #TheU
I think UCLA was #2 and USC #3 at the time. Thats my guess
@fooseven You are wrong dude,after cleveland caught the ball an Irish player put a hit on him jaring the ball loose and the Irish recoverd! I have seen this play many times and the ref's made the right call!
can't wait for new years eve! the only thing is missing is a pregame brawl!
It is one of the grestest college football game ever played. The Irish team and coach of 1988 need to be the team of 2008.
it's Miami-Notre Dame week :)
Refs gave this game to ND.
if u actually watch the clip youre right it shouldnt have been a fumble. it should have been an incomplete pass cuz he never had possession of the ball and instead of notre dame getting the ball on the 5 or wherever they get it on their own goal line so consider yourself lucky

I want to find the intro from this years sun bowl. badly.
i was 7 years old too after this i hated ND so much till next year when we won
we all know that the one team that Norte Dame don't want to see. they do not want to see the Scarlet and Grey of The Ohio State Buckeyes.
@covrunner Maybe, but with more time on the clock, whos to say Miami wouldnt have gone for the extra point to tie, then kick off to Notre Dame to stop or force a turnover in which they did, then hit the field goal to win.

The canes should of won this game, the damn refs gave the game to crappy nd
Vern said had instant replay had been around different story
LOL
Tonight is the night, Chicago is the stage, and its ours for the taking GO IRISH!!!
Haha Steve Walsh. The Cowboys took him in the supplemental draft and totally fucked him over.
Any idea who was #2 and #3 at the time?
9 years late.
According to college poll archive, #2 and #3 were UCLA and SC, in that order
@carlosZ1981 They were not going to let Miami win that one, no doubt. That Gary fumble they called on the goal line has to be one of the worst calls I have ever seen, his knee was down and the ball had already crossed the goal line, yet they still call a fumble. Changed the outcome for sure.
Uh ... sure. But let's not mention that Miami's last TD catch was clearly NOT a catch. Not even close. ND should have won by more.
@Irishfanism Actually your wrong. Lou lost his very last game as a Notre Dame coach to USC 27-20 in ot.
Where the refs called Cleveland Gary's fumble on the 1 yd line when it clearly wasnt. It was the difference in the football game.
The refs giving Miami a TD at the end on a ball that clearly wasn't caught made the game closer than it should have been.
nobody cares like in BCS games and don't say the 2002 tittle game because Miami was robbed in that game.
I respect ND but how many titles have they won in modern times? All sports have that team that wins alot of championships when the sport is growing. Who cares about a bunch of wins from 40 years ago.
@2005bsu I bet those two Ohio State games you'd rather forget ;)
@Irishfanism Then the refs must be Notre Dame grads because his knee was clearly down before the ball was knocked loose.
@brucedavis76 lol, Miami - Convicts and thugs basically, Notre Dame - Catholics.
I miss Brent and Keith Jackson. Chris Fowler is awful. Herbstreit isn’t bad. I only remember Dick Enberg doing AFC games, not college but he was great.
ya alright pal explain that one to me
at :37 what did he say? They are the _____ of college football?
The nouveau riche, French for the "New rich", it basically means they are the emerging talent of college football.

there was a lot of terrible calls in this game, refs ruined a great game.
Gotta love the veiled racism the play by play teams always use "atheletes that can run" just means black people.
@level2statedept No the last 8 yrs they didn't! ND past is their tradition. The power in College Football in the South(SEC). ND sucks!
