1989Of the 2 I'll take 2017, but none of them come close to the 27-10 of 1989.

I know we blew houston out with their heisman QB. What was the significance at that time?Washington in 2001. Houston in 1991.

Houston was destroying teams, and the Cougars coach talked about coming out into the field with a chain wrapped around his hand. Miami wasn’t given that much credit and we absolutely obliterated them. It really ended Houston as a respectable program for about a decade and a half, I was their that night and it was a big game atmosphere.I know we blew houston out with their heisman QB.

Those 2 games,spot on……..Washington in 2001. Houston in 1991.
I loved the OB, but I think lovers of the OB underplay that the 2017 game was one of the best atmospheres of all-time. Herbie on the broadcast said he hadn’t heard a louder environment. Even the squids over on the Domer board were in awe. Can’t wait for more of these games.View attachment 247817
Richt capping off 2017 with “I just want to say praise God” (2 hour, 28 minute mark below) was the best.

2018 coming back to win 28-27 at home vs FSU. The Redwine sack fumble and Pinckney pick had me jacked up!I mean honestly there are no wrong answers, lol. For me it was 1985 after all the years ND used this game as a "getaway" when visiting Miami. I know they pummeled ND 20-0 in '83 I believe in the OB, but the '85 beating was in front a former coach and a coach on his way out. A real thing of beauty on all accounts.

Bold statement."...Kelly may be the coach I dislike the most..."
Was at that game! Bennie Blades high fiving as he ran down the sidelines on a pick six. Ole Ara Parsegian crying we ran it up on ole ND and Gerry Faust.I mean honestly there are no wrong answers, lol.

Jimmy put in 3rd string guys by mid 4th quarter. If you can stop 3rd stringers from scoring on you, then you deserve to have the score run up on you.Former ND coach Ara Parseghian was the color commentator on the CBS broadcast back in '85.
He went silent in despair as time ran out in the fourth quarter and we were gleefully running up the score.
Finally, a somber Parseghian gathers himself and mutters "the Irish will rise again" as the final seconds count down.
