Colorado-Notre Dame: American Asterix


That whole thing about league/conference re-organization (i.e., Virginia Tech) in the early 2000s seemed like a big mess to me.

You know what makes me keep returning to college football? It's not Notre Dame's shimmering and ongoing TV contract with NBC.

It was the late 1980s - early 1990s rivalry between Notre Dame and Colorado University that justified that NBC TV contract in my mind, a rivalry which produced that heart-wrenching TD-return callback by the great Notre Dame go-to-guy Raghib Ismail (the 1991 Orange Bowl).

The Colorado-Notre Dame rivalry of the 1980s is really what reminds people that collegiate sports can be a thing of...capitalism upside.
