As Jimmy Johnson put it, "Hey, I couldn't help it if Gerry Faust had a demoralized football team." Even Lou Holtz was given this piece of advice from good friend Bobby Bowden: "It's up to YOU to hold down the score!" If your defense can't stop 'em, well...
I still remember Ara Parseighan getting angry and so quiet during this game, finally saying "Notre Dame will rise again", and I was thinking of how he once beat USC by the same 51 point margin for the very same reason-- just to get votes for #1; while Michigan St. couldn't go to the Rose Bowl a second consecutive year to 'make their case.' Running up the score is in the eye of the beholder.
cynic2all I know, Parseighan was acting like a damn fool. A homer for sure. He didn’t like jimmy Johnson and Miami after that for sure. The locker room speech by Johnson was used to cast him as a villain. Miami just started spanking those traditional powers and they didn’t like it. OU, ND, NEBRASKA,etc, used to downright pummel lesser teams! 77-0, 63-0 and worse!
I respect Brent Musburger and normally like the job he does, but he really was ridiculous as the second half went on, whining about Miami continuing to play, which last time I checked was why players were there. I hate it when TV and radio announcers try to dictate the kinds of plays they think teams should run.
I remember the next day on the CBS pregame show when Ara Parseighan was whining about Miami running up the score and Jim Brown effectively told his to shut up by explaining it to him you can't put a cap on someones exuberance. It wasn't the fault of Miami's second and third strings that Notre Dame couldn't stop a stiff breeze.
@@user-nd3lx1zg9tParsighan's #1 1966 Notre Dame team, on the heels of his controversial late game call to accept a tie vs. highly ranked Michigan State, destroyed USC to close out their unbeaten national championship (non-bowl) season.
@@user-nd3lx1zg9tWow. Not like the Bears were not big enough a story? No complaints about their dragging the whole league up and down the field that season.
I can't believe people complained about how Miami ran up the score in this game. JJ in the 4th did put in back ups, but the back ups could probably beat this ND team by 30. It's really not that big of a deal. ND folks should be lucky we didn't keep our 1st Stringers in. We probably could've beat them by 90.
As far as the play calls (which ND saw as piling on) affecting the score, Miami, as #3, needed all the style points it could get. Oklahoma, which the Canes beat handily on the road, somehow was #2 and set to play #1 Penn State in the Orange Bowl.
This was one of my first college football games that I watched. I didn't know anything other than Notre Dame was supposed to be a college football powerhouse and was amazed that Notre Dame was beat by that much.
I don't blame Jimmy Johnson at all for calling off the dogs against Notre Dame in 1985 and it ain't his fault that Gerry Faust didn't prepare his team during his last game as the head coach for Notre Dame!
I've wanted to see this game since reading "Turning the Thing Around" by Jimmy Johnson; this game took up almost 2 chapters in the book by the greatest coach Miami ever had, and the last real coach the Dallas Cowboys had. Thank you sooooo much for uploading it. And of course JJ was right, you don't take 3 knees and then punt the entire 4th qtr, and you don't just back up when no one blocks you on a punt. Awesome!!!
Thanks for posting this with commercials. it brought back so many memories. How about the Radio Shack / IBM computers being advertised to businessmen. Who would have thought that computers would have really become so personal that we are watching this U game on one (smart phones included).
The last game of the Gerry Faust era. He’s always been my favorite coach in FBS history because he led my two favorite schools in the Irish and Zips. It’s a shame that his tenure at ND was somewhat forgettable because he’s a super nice guy. My family and I once ran into him at the store and he was very open to talking to us. My dad was an Akron student when he was there, and he said he was very accessible on campus and loved the students and college. It’s not everyday that someone coaches your favorite major school and minor school in D1
Jimmy is my favorite coach of All-time even though I am a FSU fan. Jimmy let the players be themselves as long as they won. If he wouldve stay at Miami, he would have as many Championships as Nick Saban because he was piling up talent the same way. He's just a better coach in my opinion.
As for the "pouring on," in "The U" former Miami players point to Notre Dame teams regularly routing UM in previous decades. A look at the '78 Cotton Bowl will show you then #5 Notre Dame attempting a garbage time TD drive on #1 Texas in the last 2 minutes, up 38-10. Fair to say that Dan Devine's Irish were doing so to impress voters so they might jump a few teams in the final polls. Also fair to say that Jimmy Johson's Canes were using the same strategy, as they sat at #2 and would not have a chance to play #1 Penn State, which was set to play #3 Oklahoma (earlier beaten soundly by Miami in Norman) in the Orange Bowl. I'm the brother of a 1980s Domer, so I have a soft spot for ND, and at that time ate up all the criticism thown Miami's way, but looking back shows so much clarity. God, I miss independant college football, when teams now seperated by conferences could play many more life or death games well into November.
I suppose Miami's defense should have allowed more Notre Dame touchdowns as well. It's so disrespectful how few points the Irish offense was allowed to score.
chasebizzy1 i am sure you have watched the u by espn 30 30. my favorite the boz cal at his hotell and the taunting, then the non coin toss hand shake and the bye bye boz chant from the stands in the 4th qtr. lol
+chasebizzy1 Wasn't it nice to see Dabo call off the dogs after defeating Miami 58-0? What a program in disarray, I don't care if Richt is the new coach. He has SEVERAL years of a mess to clean up.
absolutely. but he also faces a dirt field and half full stadiums because the real cane fans can't or won't drive out to a semi footbal baseball stadium the u needs it's own stadium! that's a hard sell for a 4 star talent! i honestly believe the school did not want the football program to be that good!
+carl b Tearing down the Orange Bowl to put up ugly ass Marlins Stadium was a mistake. it's like they wanted to erase the mystique of Miami. I mean yes the OB was old but the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl is old too and they haven't gotten tore down yet. the OB had so many great memories from national championship games to Super Bowls. it's prestige was beautiful and that can't be mimicked at Sun Life Stadium. plus the OB was right in Miami, not in the suburbs.
Are Parseghian the worst of the worst, he beats Miami in 1973, 44-0 but when his old team gets beat by Miami, using back ups the whole 4th quarter, he cries about how Jimmy shouldn't do that to his old team. What a complete piece of crap he sounds like. Gives it, but can't take it. Typical hypocrites from N.D.
My favorite "Ara Parseghian hypocrisy" quote was when he routs USC 51-0 in 1966 and when asked about running up the score afterwards he says "should I have told my players to lay down?" Well ya did the week before against Michigan State.....and you WEREN'T EVEN WINNING THAT GAME.
Let's face it - Notre Dame gave up in the second half. When that happens, you can name the score. A lot of people couldn't believe that Faust actually shook hands with Jimmy Johnson at the end of the game. Faust's response was, "I don't judge another person. The Lord does that. I just shook Jimmy's hand and left it at that."
@@shehanagaraj1063 I appreciate the compliment. That '89 game hinged on about five plays. IINM Bernard Clark intercepted Tony Rice just before halftime and the Canes were able to take it in. Then in the third quarter, Miami converted a third and 44, which kept a 22-play TD drive going. Interestingly, the only offensive TD that ND scored in the Orange Bowl against Miami during the entire DECADE of the 80s was in the '85 game. They were shut out in '83 and '87; in '81 their TDs came on a kickoff return and a pick six, and there was Ned Bolcar's pick six in '89. And get this: Kelly, Kosar, Testaverde, Walsh and Toretta were all Catholic.
Faust's speech at 00:24: We're gonna have the best footbal team we can have... How's that for ambition and drive? He had never coached in college before ND, but for more than 10 years at Moeller HS in Cincinnati. He pitched himself at ND's president while Dan Devine was chalking up winning seasons. He had the team say prayers a lot, partly earning himself the nickname Holy Roller from Moeller.
Jimmy was coach at OK State from 79-83 and regularly got reduced to paste by Nebraska and the Sooners as well. BLOWED out by 30, 40+ points on several occassions. Jimmy says he never cried, or moaned. Why, are people bitching about the score here? Tha back ups were in the whole 4th quarter, a punt was blocked for a TD. What was Jimmy supposed to do? Take a knee? For years the Itish had themselves a nice vacation and picnic at the expense of Miami. They get blasted once, and the fucking world ends????? WTF.
Notre Dame and the conservative "traditional" types of college football were whiny entitled spoiled brat trash and still are. The same filth still run the sport (notice the anti-celebration rules and such). The NCAA has also directed extremely higher levels of scrutiny over recruiting toward the teams they resent for beating their favorites. The traditionalist and conservative hick programs? They are allowed to drop whatever money they want to reel in top talent. The 80s and early 90s Hurricane teams kicking these people in the thoat and embarrassing them was the most beautiful thing to ever happen to college football.
The '85 season was just the start of what had to have been a revenge tour for Jimmy Johnson. In 5 years of previously coaching Oklahoma State not once did he beat Oklahoma or Nebraska. In his 5 seasons at Miami his Hurricanes won each of the total of 4 played against them, 3 straight against OU including 1 which clinched a national championship and an Orange Bowl win over Nebraska in what proved to be his final game on a college sideline. Also, Johnson had previously been an assistant at Arkansas. Twice he was passed over for head coach, first by Lou Holtz, then Holtz's successor, Ken Hatfield. The Canes went 1 and 1 against the Holtz coached Irish and, despite their narrow loss in 1988, pummeled them the year before. The 24-0 score in '87 was not nearly indicative of how they controlled the game start to finish. Miami went 2-0 against Arkansas, the first of those games a 51-7 beatdown.
Another thing: I think that this Prudential CFR with Jim Nantz and Pat Haden was far more professional and classy than the various permutations of Halftime Reports that college football coverage has today (capitalized because that seems to be the default title for the studio show at halftime).
Miami was a stable in the Notre Dame schedule all through the 60s and into the 80s. The Irish in those days would schedule teams on home and home games all around the country. The Irish dominated the series until the early 80s when Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson arrived in Miami. Jimmy Johnson was a no holds barred coach and completely humiliated the Irish in 85 causing Notre Dame to discontinue the series with Miami.
Digger Phelps and the ND basketball team played Miami a few months later in Miami. Digger made absolutely sure to keep his foot on the gas the whole game - and finally beat Miami that night by 53.
Miami was only a football town at that time.. Nobody cared. The UM basketball team sucked anyways, it was expected. They were unranked and finish 14-14...
The opening music on that Prudential CFR was nowhere near as scary as I once thought. I thought it would be an ordeal having not seen the CFR or heard its opening music in more than a quarter-century. I did it yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it was based on the old "NCAA Today" studio show music (Brent Musburger presented that before Jim Nantz started presenting the CFR).
1:08:40 curious how "a lot of animosity" surfaced in "the last three years" - which is when miami (fl) started to taking notre dame to the proverbial woodshed.
Just a couple of nights later at the Orange Browl we the great upset from the Miami Dolphins over that all-time 85 Chicago Bears team, the only loss of their season came on that Monday Night Football telecast.
little did miami know that their struting around would end in the sugar bowl, tennessee would put a beat down on the canes, the volenteers shot down that hurricane
I was at the game.On the Miami sideline from about the 40 yard line 20 something rows up.Musberger and Ara were like having the Notre Dame radio team doing the game on CBS.Two Notre Dame shills
I was there too but on the other side and up high, surrounded by whiny-tit ND fans, one of whom dropped this gem, " It's not fair "! The Orange Bowl was OUR HOUSE and if you didn't bring your A game, you took your lumps. ND got lumps and then some!
As #2 in the country and the Orange Bowl locked in with #3 Oklahoma taking on #1 Penn State (Fiesta Bowl's ability to match up top 2 independents a year away) Miami's hope was to overwhelmingly rack up style points. They also needed the Sooners to beat the Nittany Lions. Guess they ran out of gas in New Orleans where Tennessee stomped them in the Sugar Bowl.
I liked Gerry Faust and he was a classy guy but what was he doing putting Beurline back in at quarterback? Andrysiack was the QB who gave them at least a little spark.
to all the cry baby Irish fans....Miami did you a favor, Faust was way over his head, because of that game ND hired a coach that got their program back....Lou Holtz.
I'm a WVU alum, so I really, really hate crybaby idiots who whine about running up the score, because you are paid by your school to coach your team, not theirs. Get over it folks. We have been on the wrong end of a few blowouts, and we enjoy giving them as well. I am tickled to be able to watch a game I have wanted to see since I was 15 years old and read JJ's book! Semper Fi.
Notre Dame ran up the score in many games, but when they did you only heard accolades on how proficient and discipline the team was but it was a honor getting STOMP by the Irish,but when Miami does it they get criticize what a bunch of crap you can't do that to fighting irish
Well, Jimmy Johnson is not "compassionate" or "charitable" when it comes to giving Notre Dame a break at football...what coach would be? If you can't handle it, go bowling. I respect Ara Parseighan, but he only had a 500 plus one winning percentage at ND...died at 94, probably had jimmy's name on his lips.
ha ha - I would love to hear Jimmy Johnson talk about excelling in the classroom to his pre-med Miami Hurricanes amd then look at 90% of the roster go...."what's a classroom?"
Miami ran up the score, they should not have done that.. call the wambulance.. They were just mad because it finally was ND to get the score run up on them.. Miami put in their backups in the 3rd and ND still could not stop them...
Jimmy johnson was correct though. If you don't play 4 quarters every game then you should probably find a different sport. It's up to coaches and players to win the game.
Forget the stupid game. Notre Dame was awful that season, and Miami was just running up the score to fluff their ranking. All you need to see here is Hayden Fry at 1:37:23 basically calling the four-team playoff almost thirty years before it (finally) happened. Coach Fry always was ahead of his time.
Randall Childs sort of like notre dame does to other teams through the years it happens to them and the whining starts. how many bad teams did you guys run up the score on should be the legacy of this game! by the way how did foust ever get the job? as for the little rooster next year you took us off your schedule after this rout! cowards
carl b You seem confused. I'm an Iowa Hawkeye, which is why my comment is about Hayden Fry. I have zero love for Notre Dame. Doesn't change the fact that Miami was running up the score to fluff their rankings, which makes watching this game pretty pointless and boring for anybody who isn't a Miami fan.
alabama didnt need saban to beat bo jackson, ray perkings beat bo two years in a row, Remeber wrong way bo, he ran the wrong way and fullwood got blasted by roy turner, roy said after the game ( I WAXED THE DUDE
After watching the pregame for the 1984 Mia/ND game it becomes apparent why this rout took place. You only have to hear ND QB Steve Beuerlein's comments about how in 1983 in Miami, a 20-0 UM win, that the 'Canes didn't win with any class at all. I'll link the game and you can see. I'm sure this made it's way back to the Miami team and Jimmy Johnson decided to make it a little worse the following year in 1985. It really had little to do with embarrassing a head coach on his way out the door when you hear the ND QB's comments.His comments are right at the start of the video. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/BkM4xfO5D0U/v-deo.html

"Pour it on 'em and don't let 'em up". I love it. Also, after what Jimmy experienced the previous year verses Maryland I don't blame him.
What happened versus Maryland? If I remember right it was something like 44 - 42.
During the 60 s and 70 s ND always ran the score up on teams like Miami. Payback is Hell.
I still remember Ara Parseighan getting angry and so quiet during this game, finally saying "Notre Dame will rise again", and I was thinking of how he once beat USC by the same 51 point margin for the very same reason-- just to get votes for #1; while Michigan St. couldn't go to the Rose Bowl a second consecutive year to 'make their case.'

The 24-0 score in '87 was not nearly indicative of how they controlled the game start to finish. Miami went 2-0 against Arkansas, the first of those games a 51-7 beatdown.
@@shehanagaraj1063 He was actually 3-1. Would have been 4-1 if the series hadn't taken a break in 1986.
Another thing: I think that this Prudential CFR with Jim Nantz and Pat Haden was far more professional and classy than the various permutations of Halftime Reports that college football coverage has today (capitalized because that seems to be the default title for the studio show at halftime).
Miami was a stable in the Notre Dame schedule all through the 60s and into the 80s. The Irish in those days would schedule teams on home and home games all around the country. The Irish dominated the series until the early 80s when Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson arrived in Miami. Jimmy Johnson was a no holds barred coach and completely humiliated the Irish in 85 causing Notre Dame to discontinue the series with Miami.
Ara Parseghian’s 1973 Norte Dame team beat Army 62-3, no running up the score in that case.
ND had 10 men on the field when the punt was blocked
Miami had ten men on the field and still blocked that punt.
Digger Phelps and the ND basketball team played Miami a few months later in Miami. Digger made absolutely sure to keep his foot on the gas the whole game - and finally beat Miami that night by 53.
and nobody cared
Miami was only a football town at that time.. Nobody cared. The UM basketball team sucked anyways, it was expected. They were unranked and finish 14-14...
The opening music on that Prudential CFR was nowhere near as scary as I once thought. I thought it would be an ordeal having not seen the CFR or heard its opening music in more than a quarter-century. I did it yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it was based on the old "NCAA Today" studio show music (Brent Musburger presented that before Jim Nantz started presenting the CFR).
Notre Dame was a bunch of cry babies they would show no mercy and expect other teams to show them some
1:08:40 curious how "a lot of animosity" surfaced in "the last three years" - which is when miami (fl) started to taking notre dame to the proverbial woodshed.
Just a couple of nights later at the Orange Browl we the great upset from the Miami Dolphins over that all-time 85 Chicago Bears team, the only loss of their season came on that Monday Night Football telecast.
Notre Dame still complains about this game .. 27 years later ... LOL
little did miami know that their struting around would end in the sugar bowl, tennessee would put a beat down on the canes, the volenteers shot down that hurricane
this was a awesome series back in the 80"s but wont mean shit today just a couple of random teams playing a game ..lol
Kaley Cuoco was born on that day November 30, 1985.
And the late, great Dick Clark had his 56th birthday on that date as well.
I was at the game.On the Miami sideline from about the 40 yard line 20 something rows up.Musberger and Ara were like having the Notre Dame radio team doing the game on CBS.Two Notre Dame shills
I was there too but on the other side and up high, surrounded by whiny-tit ND fans, one of whom dropped this gem, " It's not fair "! The Orange Bowl was OUR HOUSE and if you didn't bring your A game, you took your lumps. ND got lumps and then some!
My boy The Playmaker 47
at 11:29 Parseghian says "they are dangerous for 60 minutes they can't put points on the board you can't let up" ...how prophetic !
As #2 in the country and the Orange Bowl locked in with #3 Oklahoma taking on #1 Penn State (Fiesta Bowl's ability to match up top 2 independents a year away) Miami's hope was to overwhelmingly rack up style points. They also needed the Sooners to beat the Nittany Lions. Guess they ran out of gas in New Orleans where Tennessee stomped them in the Sugar Bowl.
I liked Gerry Faust and he was a classy guy but what was he doing putting Beurline back in at quarterback? Andrysiack was the QB who gave them at least a little spark.
It was priceless hearing Brent and Ara crying about Miami running up the score,which is all Notre Dame did for years.
Pat Haden "I think you'll see a tournament within 4 years" Gonna be a little longer than that
to all the cry baby Irish fans....Miami did you a favor, Faust was way over his head, because of that game ND hired a coach that got their program back....Lou Holtz.
The decision for him to step down was already made at the the time of this game. It sure didn't help his cause though.
+sean schiazza Perhaps Clemson did Miami a favor today.
+RedElephantStampede That's bad news for you. See you in a few years.
@@RedElephantStampede They certainly did, we got Richt, an indoor facility, and now recruiting has improved, stay tuned, more to come!
@@dr.pendyke4887 it’s over for other teams with the new recruiting stipulations . Who wouldn’t want to sign with a team in a state with no state taxes
The moral of the story:
Don’t suck. Problem solved. 😉
The Orange Bowl was a monument rip
I'm a WVU alum, so I really, really hate crybaby idiots who whine about running up the score, because you are paid by your school to coach your team, not theirs. Get over it folks. We have been on the wrong end of a few blowouts, and we enjoy giving them as well. I am tickled to be able to watch a game I have wanted to see since I was 15 years old and read JJ's book! Semper Fi.
"My Black Hat: A Gift From St. Ara" I'll never forget it. JJ WAS RIGHT!!
At 2:00 50,000 fans were not there to watch whatever his name is coach his last game at Notre Dame, but watch Miami put a licking on them
It was at 20-7 when everything just went wrong
Parseghian was the ultimate hypocrite, his Notre Dame teams put up 56 or more points on opponents 8 times.
Lou Holtz takes over the Irish for the Next Decade until 1996 College Football season.
Da U is back
Parseighan calling Michael Irvin "Erwin" the entire game, I mean, come on.
Yeah ND was so outmanned Miami's 2nd and 3rd string were able to score on them.
The game that ended a coaching career. Faust never should have left high school coaching.
The Gerry Faust Error. ND never should have hired him.
just for shits and giggles ...you see how cheap those items were in those 85 commercials????.....lol
Notre Dame ran up the score in many games, but when they did you only heard accolades on how proficient and discipline the team was but it was a honor getting STOMP by the Irish,but when Miami does it they get criticize what a bunch of crap you can't do that to fighting irish
Well, Jimmy Johnson is not "compassionate" or "charitable" when it comes to giving Notre Dame a break at football...what coach would be? If you can't handle it, go bowling. I respect Ara Parseighan, but he only had a 500 plus one winning percentage at ND...died at 94, probably had jimmy's name on his lips.
Jimmy Johnson said: All I want to Do is Kick the Leprechauns Ass.. And Boy Did We Do that on this Day.. How about them Hurricane's.. CANE4LIFE 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈😎
2020 Canes Forever
ha ha - I would love to hear Jimmy Johnson talk about excelling in the classroom to his pre-med Miami Hurricanes amd then look at 90% of the roster go...."what's a classroom?"
Lou Holtz just around the corner
ND had no excuses and should have played better. What a bunch of crybabies crying about Miami killing their little darling team.
"Watch right here from ground level" because of the crap camera direction the entire game.
if miami wins the sugar bowl they may have been able to claim a piece of that title...
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
I think that "Johnson" is what this person meant.
1:02:48 my curtis mathes lasted longer than my chevy spectrum
notre lame has always been good at whining!!
whos jophnson?
Miami ran up the score, they should not have done that.. call the wambulance.. They were just mad because it finally was ND to get the score run up on them.. Miami put in their backups in the 3rd and ND still could not stop them...
Jimmy johnson was correct though. If you don't play 4 quarters every game then you should probably find a different sport. It's up to coaches and players to win the game.
Canal de lubbocktexas1,if you have texas tech vs clemson in the bowl game please post it.
Forget the stupid game. Notre Dame was awful that season, and Miami was just running up the score to fluff their ranking. All you need to see here is Hayden Fry at 1:37:23 basically calling the four-team playoff almost thirty years before it (finally) happened. Coach Fry always was ahead of his time.
Coach Fry was a great coach. Overlooked
Randall Childs sort of like notre dame does to other teams through the years it happens to them and the whining starts. how many bad teams did you guys run up the score on should be the legacy of this game! by the way how did foust ever get the job? as for the little rooster next year you took us off your schedule after this rout! cowards
carl b You seem confused. I'm an Iowa Hawkeye, which is why my comment is about Hayden Fry. I have zero love for Notre Dame. Doesn't change the fact that Miami was running up the score to fluff their rankings, which makes watching this game pretty pointless and boring for anybody who isn't a Miami fan.
Look at that TCU-Oregon game that's what happens when you don't run up the score
Well, college football is all about style points. Not to mention Miami had their second and third string players in for the first half
Imagine Holtz in charge back in '82!
Pat Haden acted like a little brat after this game.
What If Nick Saban came to Alabama in 1983, He Can't NEVER BEAT BO JACKSON.
alabama didnt need saban to beat bo jackson, ray perkings beat bo two years in a row, Remeber wrong way bo, he ran the wrong way and fullwood got blasted by roy turner, roy said after the game ( I WAXED THE DUDE
That's the worst speech of all time, I don't feel inspired Faust
I heard Holtz once in 1996.He wasn't much better,but was much better than bending rules than was Faust
Marge Schott @1:33:00 BAHAHAHAHA
After watching the pregame for the 1984 Mia/ND game it becomes apparent why this rout took place. You only have to hear ND QB Steve Beuerlein's comments about how in 1983 in Miami, a 20-0 UM win, that the 'Canes didn't win with any class at all. I'll link the game and you can see. I'm sure this made it's way back to the Miami team and Jimmy Johnson decided to make it a little worse the following year in 1985. It really had little to do with embarrassing a head coach on his way out the door when you hear the ND QB's comments.His comments are right at the start of the video. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/BkM4xfO5D0U/v-deo.html
53:00 i still have my curtis mathes
50:44
ok thats better
2:40:12 classy....
Both shots were cheap.
/NOV
And both JimmyJohnson haters.
only the devil was with foust this game get it f a u s t Faust the devil set packing set packing get out of here and don't let the door hit you on the way out
Faust resigned before they could fire him. He saw the handwriting on the wall.
Going for it on 4th down was a bit much.
Stop crying jimmy johnson could be more charitable hahah stop whining your notre dame got destroyed
