The clip is from the 1988 ND vs Michigan game. The crowd was so loud Michigan couldn't run their offence. What's up with ND getting a penalty for being too loud, were the refs from the Big 10?

Something special was going on then. Everyone was excited. We were the modern day Clemson and Miami was the modern day Alabama. From 1988 to and including 1993 we set the bar in college football. Had there been a playoff then ND would have been in every one minus one year of 1991.

Oh how things have changed in south bend.

Hell now I'd just take one big win. Forget everything else. Just one good hard fought win against an upper echelon team. Just one of those please and thank you.

One of the best posts in a long time 88. Oh how great was ND back them ! - A young Barry Alvarez was in the clip - what a great D Cordinator he was - now that was a well coached team.

ND under BK has been a complete joke for most of his 8 seasons. A tad better than Weis and Willy. But no where near a top flight well coached program performs.

ND deserves so much better.
 
Notre Dame football is currently a spectacle because they have been nothing short of average the last few years. The stadium, the campus, it's all an experience for opposing fans to witness. Made easier by fellow ND fans who willfully give up their tickets. This was the first regular season matchup between two storied programs. Which mattered considerably more to Georgia fans to be there in person to experience and witness the game than it did ND fans. An utter embarrassment to be shown up by opposing fans in their own stadium. Is ND going to bring a brigade of fans to Athens in 2019? FSU comes to South Bend next year, Arkansas in a few years, Clemson, etc. Fan bases that travel considerably well. Saturday night was an indictment of the where the program is and it wont change until there is a new coach and AD.

Virginia Tech will invade ND stadium too.
 
We played them at ND last year.
Jeez you are right ND did play them at home. I totally forgot.
Well VT didn't invade like Nebraska and Georgia did but they beat the Irish 34-31, then walked around the field with big smiles on their faces.

That's how the game works. The winning team is usually very happy.

Soon opponents won't be smiling after they beat ND at football. They will feel sorry for them, like they just beat up a blind and deaf senile old man who keeps talking about the good old days.

It was pretty damn loud in south bend for the bush push game and the 2012 standford OT game.

Just watch the "Catholics vs Convicts" 30 For 30 to see how different it was back then. You had Lou Holtz writing a letter and mailing it to all of the players over the summer, talking about how they're not going to lose any games. Tony Rice still has a plaque that says, "The Lord is my shepherd, but Lou Holtz is my coach." This kind of stuff would never happen at today's Notre Dame. Sad, really.
