"College football is now on notice that Mark Richt has these current Miami Hurricanes back in the National spotlight!"

ND team overrated and we had leadership on that team. Jaquan & Chad had real love of being Canes. That and those counter plays Richt added to the offense that Homer gashed their D.

Go Canes!

Nd wasn’t overrated, they were a very good team that year and after the narrow lost to uga was billed as being unbeatable pretty much by all of talking heads in the media.

Come on now, Nostalgia gets the best of you sometimes. A packed house for an undefeated team in THAT stadium with the unique setting of hard rock stadium enclosing fans trapping noise in pretty much with Miami obliterating a top 3 team in the country looked like nothing? It’s okay to give props to the current times man. Not everything back in the day has to be definitively better on EVERY single thing.

I was there, friend. Unfortunately, I wasn't at the 2017 game. I've never been to a UM game at Hard Rock. Only away games since the OB fell to her knees and was destroyed.

Never in UM or Dolphins OB History was there complete Madness Before...During or After a game like the 89 UM ND game....Not even the 2 SBs I went to at the OB had that Noise....You couldn't hear yourself think...Not only that....That 89 ND Team would have beat 2017 ND by 3 TDs or more...

I was at both Games. For me it was actually louder at The ND 2017 game. The roof is a game changer because it doesn't let the sound escape. That night was insane. Only louder games I've been to were 85 Bears(loudest I've ever heard the OB) game and 91 Penn State Game. Also The 2001 washington game and 2002 FSU games have to be up there.

I was at both and the 2017 game was louder. Couldn't hear the next 2 days LOL.

Agree we were a lot crazier back then but the Rock is a truly special place when it's full and we're good. Sounds like you just wanna hate.
 
ND's fifth year senior center, who had played in big-time venues around the country, said it was the loudest crowd he'd ever heard... Anybody trying to downplay the atmosphere that night is just being a curmudgeon.

That said, I have always heard legend of the 89 game from my pops, and I totally believe it was crazier (the OB was special)... but nothing could be THAT much crazier. ND in 17 was absolutely deafening. The wildest crowd I've ever personally seen, neck-and-neck with FSU in 02.

It’s just that it’s usually Miami losing these types of games. Turnovers, giving up special teams or defensive touchdowns, missing short field goals or shanking punts. That’s usually Miami’s m.o.

Disagree with this: you're describing the type of close games, and games we should have won for two years now. This was a beat down on the National Stage against (Overrated or not) the #3 Team in the country that ran with Richt's old team their whole game. It would be a stage 95% of other teams might have had a problem playing on. From the get-go, the Canes came like the years Howard or Jimmy Johnson were on the sidelines.

I realize the biggest reason was 4 turnovers and we ran the ball unusually well: Homer rushed for 145. But what I was asking is, how do you dominate against a team like that, then play so far the other way against far lessor teams? I played college ball, and don't understand how there could be that wide a spread between your best and then a lingering succession of your worst played games.

You simply can't compare 89 too 2017...I was at both....2017 was Very nice....but I can name OB games (94..2000...02 FSU & UF 2003 that were as Loud as 17 ND)...89 UM vs ND was Complete Pandemonium...from 3hrs before the game..till 2hrs after...Never heard or saw anything close...As far as a Single Moment??....Undoubtably Carlos Jones Pick6...

Don't want to rip off a scab since we've won another off season, But listened to that on the WQAM rebroadcast of the Notre Dame game this afternoon while in the car. I **** near had to pull off the road and puke thinking what has happened since. Still, WTF? How did we come out and play like that on that night - like the ghosts of the Canes teams past, and do what we have since?

2017 as a whole wasn't that great, and is still overrated by the fanbase. Other than the ND game and to a lesser extent the Va Tech game, it really wasn't that distinguishable from 2013.

I still didn't expect us to collapse quite like we did after the 10-0 start. Nobody really ever thought we were the second best team in the country at that point, but I was still expecting us to beat a 4-7 Pitt team. And, although I expected us to lose to Clemson, I expected it to be more competitive than 38-3. The Wisconsin game was really the only game in the last 3 where I wasn't that surprised by the outcome.

And I sure as **** was expecting better than 13-13 in 2018-19.

Even that game our offense was pretty garbage

The defense single handily took Notre Dame's soul that game

We scored 41 points against a really good defense. How is that garbage?

2017 Notre Dame is easily our best game since at least 2005 (Va Tech), and possibly even since 2001. I don't even think there was a game in 2002 where Miami played as well as they did in 2017 vs Notre Dame. You can't discredit the 2017 Notre Dame game.

With that being said, I do agree with you that the 2017 season as a whole was and to some extent still is overrated. Ga Tech, UNC and FSU were all lucky wins- and 2 of those teams didn't make a bowl, while the third (FSU) had to schedule a patsy to make a bowl. The Syracuse, Toledo, and even Bethune-Cookman wins weren't very pleasing to watch either, even though none of those games went down to the wire. At the end of the day, the Notre Dame game was just one game in 2017, and you don't judge a season by one game.
