Bad blood resurfaces

The Miami Hurricanes' immense slump in the FBS rankings over the past decade has certainly been arduous for long-time "U" fans to fathom. But what better way to solve your problems than beat up on an old, and in this case, nationally ranked foe.
The bad blood from the 80's and early 90's may have diluted, but who doesn't love a classic Notre Dame vs Miami game minus the obscene t-shirts (The Catholics vs. Convicts).
It's been nearly a quarter-century since the two have met in the regular season, and I'm already replaying the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary in my head. One of the vintage rivalries in college football that transformed the way college athletes conduct themselves on and off the field. It was a storm that college football never experienced before, but it helped cultivate the NCAA in the longrun.
Since both universities don't take the field till 7:30, take a look at a snippet from my favorite 30 for 30 documentary:
