If this game had any additional hype it would explode. The Canes hate the Irish. The Irish hate the Canes. After days of talk tonight is the time for action. The overall series between the two schools means nothing. Notre Dame fans who still think "Catholics vs. Convicts" is witty mean nothing. All that matters is that there is a game to be won tonight.
Tonight is a night for the Canes to make a statement. A few months ago no one thought we would be in the position we are currently in. But we are. Fans of every other school across the nation were licking their lips at the thought of a monumental disaster of a season for the Hurricanes. They haven't gotten one. Now it's time to show them what we can do. Now we need to get one more win to get all the people in the media to commit Hari-Kari. There isn't much anyone needs to say at this point. If you don't know what the journey will be like from here on, you only started watching college football last week.
I've been listening to a "We Ballin' Boy" on a loop for 5 days straight.
Irish fans can make this about 'Thug U' or them 'being back' all they want. Canes fans know the action on the field is what matters. And lucky for us, we're getting some much needed reinforcements:
Where: Soldier Field
Who: Miami Hurricanes (4-1) vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish (4-0)
When: 7:30pm/et
How: TV - NBC
4 storylines for UM in this game:
1. Can Morris take advantage of Notre Dame's secondary?
2. Will the offense continue to make big plays?
3. Can the offensive line hold up against Notre Dame's front seven?
4. Will the team perform under the bright lights?
Morris had another career day last week. Now we're facing a top 10 team with stout front seven. He'll need time to throw, and if he gets it, he should be able to pick apart Notre Dame's secondary. The last time we played a big game at night & away from home, was against Florida State in 2009. We won a shootout that night.
Last time they met: December 31, 2010. Notre Dame won 33-17

Just a horrible game. Tough to pick out the most embarrassing part, but it was probably when Golden joined Verne Lundquist in the booth. Golden started talking about how the team was starting to get something going with the run game. As soon as the words left his mouth, Jacory immediately throws his 43rd pick of the game. The look on Lundquist's face made me want to punch him so bad.
What people were saying during the subsequent meltdown:
We weren't around 2 years ago, so I turned to CanesOverHere again for reference.

This makes me wonder how last year might have gone had Morris won the job the previous season. And where he'd be now in his development.

Slap the sign? ******* jokes.
1. UM isn't back, but is getting there.
2. This game is personal for Mike James.
3. This defense might be the worst in school history.
1. Brian Kelly wants his team to enjoy success.
2. Te'o's decision to stay for his senior year is paying off.
3. Notre Dame is wearing some ****** uniforms for this game.

There's a whole thread of even more anti-Notre Dame stuff here. Give it a look if you haven't already.
