So long Notre Dame. See you in 5,060 days.
I like playing Notre Dame. The history between these two schools can't be reproduced. The games, the names, and the lore. Second to none in non-conference play, I'd wager. Michigan versus Notre Dame is the essence of what is best about college football.
But I don't like what the Michigan-Notre Dame rivalry has become.
I don't like that it always an automatic night game now. I don't like that modern CFB playoff era strategy says it doesn't make sense to play opponents like Notre Dame.
