Notre Dame Vs. Miami Now Scheduled, Time To Stomp The Irish

The Miami Hurricanes have finally inked a deal that will have them playing the Fightin Irish again in 2012.

The exact date is : Ocotber 6, 2012

The Location is : Soldier Field, Chicago

Can you say....Let's Get Ready To Rumble....!

Canes fans have long awaited another chance to play the Irish in the regular season. Back in the 80's the Canes had great rivalries with Notre Dame. Who can forget the 1985 blowout where the Hurricanes embarrassed the Irish, the Canes whipped them 58-7. Miami played Notre Dame four times during the 1980's. The Canes beat the Irish 3 times in the 80's and each time they beat the Irish they went on to win a National Championship, the only exception was 1988 when the Canes lost.

These match-ups were known as Catholics vs Convicts, and we all know how bad-ass the U was in the 80's.

In 1990 the Canes faced the Irish again, this time the Irish knocked off the Canes 29-20 killing any chance of the national title. After the 1990 game the regular season series was stopped. The Canes are itching to renew the rivalry in 2012. They will meet again in 2016 and a new regular season series could begin again if all goes well.

Anyway you slice it the Canes are ready to do work when it comes to fightin' the Irish.

Let's go Canes...!
