The Miami Hurricanes Football has got a chance to end the 2010 season with a positive note. 2010 has been a so and so season for the Hurricanes. To top it off, they lost to South Florida, and that resulted in the firing of head coach Randy Shannon.
The Canes, however, can turn all those negative news around if they can end the season by winning the Sun Bowl, come 31st December. Who are they up against? The Fighting Irish – Notre Dame. Will this be a prelude to another intense regular season rivalry that will be renewed in 2012?

The two teams have not met each other in regular season since 1990. Their match-ups back then have always been intense and highly rated. Back then, both teams were national championship contenders.
So intense was the rivalry, in 1988, they got into a pregame brawl in the tunnel. Both teams had at one time or another dashed the other’s championship hope. In that game, Notre Dame defeated Miami and emerged National Champions. This is after Miami totally humbled the Irish with a 24-0 defeat the previous year to end up winning the National Champion.
Let’s take a look at what flying around the net in reference to the Miami Hurricanes Football.
