And so we say goodbye to the Notre Dame/Michigan rivalry at the Big House

By Joe Pantorno

I would have rather Notre Dame stay independent if I knew it was going to mean this. Now, we heard about
this about a year ago that the Irish were dropping Michigan for at least three years starting in 2014 as a part of this ACC realignment.

I think it's trash. I love the Big House. This was a game I always circled on the calendar. Of course it isn't on the same level as the Ohio State/Michigan, Auburn/Alabama, but Notre Dame Michigan was always a great game. And the venue...what a place and what great fans.

Two historic programs, a bevy of future NFL stars making names for themselves in these games. It's the essence of college football. The underdogs like to win, the games are always close and the fans are crazy. Can't ask for much more.

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this game as much as I can tonight. Who knows when we'll see these two play regular season again at the Big House again?

Among other big time match-ups today is Miami/Florida, another regular season match-up we might not see for a while and no. 6 South Carolina taking on an already desperate no. 11 Georgia. The Bulldogs can kiss this season goodbye if they start out 0-2.

I love college football. Now go park yourself in front of the TV for the next two days. It's football time.
