Do I Hear a Rivalry?

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Miami Hurricanes are in discussions to begin renewing their football rivalry as soon as the 2012 season.

If the year were 1993, I might be excited about that. It's not, and I'm not.

Since 2003, Notre Dame is 46-40 overall and 1-4 in bowl games. During the same span, Miami is 57-31, and 3-3 in bowl games. Pretty mediocre.

I'm Irish-Catholic. I haven't forgotten what Saturday afternoons were like in my house as a kid when ND played the 'Canes. Everyone was so nervous about the game that we hardly spoke until after it was over.

Now, there's silence about the rivalry's revival for a different reason. Prolonged mediocrity has been deafening.

Go ND! I guess.
