These guys could do the coin flip
Having five ND grad cousins, ND v Stanford ain’t much of a rivalry. That game means nothing to most Domers.
ND v Miami seemed to be heating up as a rivalry in 70s and 80s, but quickly died. Only played a handful of times since 1990.
Not really a rivalry now.
USC v Texas? HUH???
NOT a rivalry. Only played 7 times in over 100+ years.
I’ve never heard of USC vs ND as a Rivalry. Stanford and ND are basically two schools tied to each other’s hip
HUH???
Where have YOU been Bro?
Are you an actual college football fan?
Maybe not if you don’t know that ND v USC is a rivalry, or, even worse have “never heard” it. Gosh man. That’s one of the longest, best known, and most historic rivalries in college football!
Knute Rockne in the 1920s envisioned it as the first “intersectional” college football rivalry……and it has remained such for upwards of NINETY years!!!
Let’s see. You truly think ND and Stanford are bigger rivals than ND and USC???
REALLY???
Come on man. ND and Stanford have only played regularly since the late 90s.
WAAAAAY less history than ND v USC. ND and USC have played NINETY-THREE times. And that game often had national title implications. ND and Stanford, by comparison, have only played played 38 times, again, mostly since the late 1990s. Nowhere near as much history or tradition. Series is also far more one-sided in ND’s favor than the USC series.
You truly think USC and Texas are rivals??? When they only have seven meetings in over 100+ years of program history on each side?
Jayzus Bro. Where do you get this crap from? Do you make it up or something?
Turn in your college football “fan” card if that’s what you believe.
Watch this video.
Do you know what the Domers are chanting at the end?
Hint: BEAT SC!!! BEAT SC!!! BEAT SC!!! Note: SC = “Southern Cal”
Hopefully this will help.
#5: ND v. USC
ND v Stanford, ND v Miami, and USC v Texas aren’t even mentioned.
good for ND for not bowing; if it doesn’t mean enough for usc to work to get a commitment from the b1o that they would work with ND. the heck with 'em; plenty of colleges would like an ND rivalry. if i were ucla, i’d be trying to sign ND up and rub it in usc fans faces !
I hope it doesn’t look like one of Jeff Bezo’s rockets.
I had no interest in following a school that refuses to join a conference and i say that as a Catholic.
I only seemed to watch ND when they played a school from the AAC or had some other connection to a school I care about but i can honestly say I’ve never watched ND vs USC play a single game
It didn’t affect the Cougars so not my interest.
And no…that post SW conference BCS era was a DARK era of college football for me
I am so GLAD we are now in the best era!
Still defies reason to say that you had never heard ND v USC was a rivalry.
Literally one of the biggest in college football.
Ive never heard of it…
Michigan vs Ohio State
Army vs Navy
Oklahoma vs Texas
ND vs Stanford
Alabama vs Auburn
Of course!
But ND vs USC isn’t on my radar…and apparently it’s no longer on anyone’s radar ![]()

ND vs USC is the biggest rivalry in college football and has been for decades.
Then as I said, turn in your fan badge.
First for not having heard that one of the five biggest rivalries in college football (USC v ND) was even a rivalry.
![]()
And then for imagining that ND v Stanford was a bigger rivalry when it hasn’t even been one for but a few decades as opposed to nearly a century for ND v USC.
![]()
And then……worst of all….thinking that USC and UT were rivals when they’ve only met on the gridiron seven times compared to ND v USC’s NINETY-THREE meetings.
![]()
You are probably the ONLY person here that had never heard that ND and USC were rivals.
Literally the ONLY one.
I think you could argue that it is the biggest.
Maybe but I’ve never watched it a single time.
A PAC school vs an Independent…where’s the UH rooting intetest?
Especially in our CUSA BCS days?
I was watching CUSA and AAC games.
FINALLY…only now, due to the playoff field can i watch more of the other games
It has to do more with being a CFB fan.
Yet strangely, Cullen had never heard of it.
![]()
Actually, Michigan v Ohio State and Army v Navy are bigger.
It’d be tough to argue than any others are.
Oh…I’ve told you many times THIS is the golden era for me.
That BCS era…where only 2 predetermined schools had a shot was the Dark Ages for me.
UH had NO SHOT
Yeah…I watch those.
I’ve even heard of the Red river Rivalry/ shoot out but again…i went to school when we were in the CUSA.
I didn’t care about the P5 back then because WE weren’t in it!
I never even watched the 2005 UT vs USC championship…that would have been torture ![]()

Turn in your fan badge!
Turn in my UH fan badge for not caring about non UH related games ![]()
