Was there in the west end zone lower deck. 17 years old. It was a lot easier to buy single game tickets back then. Even after FSU went up I knew we were winning that game. Still the greatest single game experience of my life. I remember going by the dirt parking lot after the game in front of the OB and screaming at Lee Corso how he liked them ‘Canes. Lost my voice the next day.
IT'S GREAT TO BE A MIAMI HURRICANE!!!What sealed the deal for me to be a Die Hard fan was the UCLA game, no question.
Dorsey to Shockey and Wide Right III was one of the greatest games I've ever seen in football.
But, going to my first live game, ND v. Miami, a Top 10 matchup, in the West Zone, Ed Reed ROH ceremony, the crowd reaching a fervor that old timers compared to what it was like in The Orange Bowl...I can't ever imagine topping that as a personal experience.
I bought that ticket two months in advance, so I literally fell into a perfect storm of chaos, loving every second of it.
During Half Time, the restrooms were full of Miami fans yelling "IT'S GREAT! TO BE! A MIIIIAMI HURRRICANE."
I spent a grand on that trip, and would spend it again in a heartbeat.
Great game. Great atmosphere. I was fortunate to be at both games, not trying to minimize 17, but the 89 game at the OB was like nothing I’ve ever seen or heard. It was constant insanity. Coaches on the field could not hear coaches in the box on their headphones. It was like being at the Cape for a 3 hour shuttle launch.

My Ears were ringing....Even at Halftime it was hysteria...
Exactly! Unless you were there, you could not imagine. Got there early to see John Routh riding a little motor bike around the OB. Been to Super Bowls, Stanley Cup Finals, NC games etc, never heard anything like it. I thought the place was actually shaking a few times.
I'm only 27 so the 80s weren't my time, but 2017 ND game had me feeling giddy as ****. My Platoon Leader at the time was a huge ND fan and was talking all sorts of trash questioning Miami's "toughness" against a power run game. After the 2nd q he wouldnt respond to any of my texts or calls. The bandy pick 6 was the cherry on top. The next day he couldnt even look me in the eye
Nah I'd have told him off..Politely of course. "GFY sir."Surprised he didn't try to smoke your *** like a little *****. Most Notre Dame fans are little *******.
Oh God yes!
