As the term was invented in 1988, "Catholics vs. Convicts" only applies to the games from 1988-1990 when both teams were at the top of college football -- KelleyCook
Regarding the third paragraph of the "Notre Dame Dominates" section, unless the author is talking about the Lindsay Nelson Sunday highlight show, Notre Dame was not on national TV every week during the 70's. In fact the NCAA had a rule at the time which only allowed a school to be on national TV for one regular season game per season. In the case of ND this was usually the USC game.
This article is pretty ridiculous. Catholics vs. Convicts refers to one particular game in the Miami-Notre Dame rivalry, that being the 1988 game. [1] [2] [3] [4]. I'm reining this thing in to a proper scope.- PassionoftheDamon 16:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
After reviewing the CFD as suggested, I found no reference to "Greatest College Football Games of All Time", and only a few references to college, none of which had anything to do with football.
Therefore, rather than get in some revert war for no benefit, I will add a simple citation needed to the tail end of the comment. If anyone can provide a third party reference to that game as something more than just a big game for that year, I will not consider this a non-encyclopedic exaggeration of the game's importance. Notre Dame fans saying it was the best game of all time does not equate to the general public saying the same thing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CodeCarpenter ( talk • contribs) 22:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Boise State–Nevada rivalry which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 16:32, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Anyone with a working knowledge of college football will understand the implication of the "convicts" appellation directed at Miami, given the reputation of the Miami teams fielded during this time period. However, given that not every potential reader certainly knows about Miami's history, I feel like providing some context in the way of specific incidents (instances of particularly rough play, off-field legal problems) would be helpful and would only make the article better.
