Great program. Makes me sad to see how far this administration has let the program fall. Hire a coach with a personality like Lou! Not the dud currently coaching.
People should be reminded that even then some of the same "mantra" was spewed then as it is today ..... Academic standards are too high ..... football at ND is over .... not true
BS that Miami whines about the Gary fumble .... arguably a bad call .... but nobody wants to talk about Chudzinski catching a pass .... getting 2 feet down ..... and getting drilled by Stonebreaker as he tries to turn upfield .... clearly a fumble that was ruled an inc pass .... this before the half that ended in a TD for Miami ..... phhttt ..... whatever

Great post Buguit. That was a terrible call that gave Miami halftime momentum. Love the post!
That documentary was like Christmas coming early for me ... as someone who lived it as a student with some friends on the team this was the high point of my sports fandom. This show was so well done and the shirt angle was great as truly they did mint the phrase Catholics vs Convicts which perfectly embodied the increasingly volatile relationship between these two schools.
Jimmy Johnson, though a shiner, was and always has been a good sport about this rivalry. I thought I knew everything there was to know about this game, team and season but a few new things for me in this show.
We all yearn for the next one but still fun to celebrate the last one.

Exactly right! That was as big a play as as any in during that game. It was clear a fumble, yet never gets mentioned.
Yep, it was the best game I ever attended. I was a freshman at ND at the time---the campus was absolutely electric in the days leading up to the game. In some ways it seems like yesterday. In other ways it seems like centuries ago.
Possibly, but also go back a series or 2, and Gary's "fumble" -- I think, in today's environment, that get's overturned, now, you have Miami on the doorstep to tie it.
So many "what if's" to play with in this game.
I have it on DVR, haven't watched it yet. Probably the most memorable game I've attended at ND. It was an unusually warm and sunny day for South Bend in mid October. We had our 8 month old with us (who just got married this past summer) and we learned about 45 minutes before game time that she needed a ticket. Panic ensued, but one of my class of '80 buddies had an extra, and solved that. We were in the south end zone, kind of low, the Gary fumble/non-fumble was right in front of us. As was the Terrell pass break up at the end. Total euphoria.
Two things....
1. Since you haven't watched it yet.....spoiler alert - ND wins the game!!!
2. You took an 8 month old to a football game??
Sure, she went again the next year to the classic 1989 USC game as a 20 month old. By the next season her sister was born, and that ended that streak.
Yes, I eventually figured out how to find it on ESPN website. A very good program.
