Let me tell ya, as an avid Cane fan, I wish that series was never cancelled. It was good for both teams and good for college football. Too bad the school pres wussed out.
I'm not comparing schedules, and yeah, Miami isn't as good this year as they have been, but 18 NFL picks in 3 years will do that to you.
I say hire Spurrier because his system WILL work in college. He'd have ND playing dominant football within 3 years. They'd be back competing for the national title. As a Cane fan, I do root for ND, I want to see the rematch of ND-Miami with the national title on the line. What a friggin game that would be. Every year I hope for that game, or at least a Miami-ND bowl matchup. I'm hoping it could happen this year.
