In 1988, Miami was better than the Irish and were robbed by a bad call. Miami played a harder schedule that year and by the end, they were clearly the best team in the country, BUT ND did beat Miami at home and so Canes fans just grinned and bore it because head to head matters. Same this year.

OP is 100% correct, plus one-sided officiating as JJ warned.

Re: C v C, at the time, Canes were largely African American, Domers largely Caucasian. Any hint of bigotry?

You're right, but we were hoping for a rematch in the Fiesta.
We were #2 at the end of the regular season.

BooHoo Lou: "Why play them again? If they won, what would that prove? We'd each have 1 win".

It was always built on bigotry, that's why I will NEVER use that lame *** title. I don't get why our "Fans" think it's cool, it's insulting to refer to our student athletes, fellow 'Canes as that. It wasn't cute then, it's crap now.

We bore it, yes. But we most certainly did not grin.
