With the 2022 season not here yet, college football fans continue to be alone with their thoughts. One Twitter user named Romaro Miller is one of those fans. An Ole Miss alumnus, he has more on his mind than how his Rebels can build on their 10-3 record from 2021. He’s thinking about potential future opponents, and one in particular is standing out in his mind:
In the perfect world if you could book an Ole Miss home and home football game where and why? I want Notre Dame because of Rudy. Go!!

With all due respect to Mr. Ruettiger, a movie about him that often takes liberties with the real story shouldn’t be the primary reason to want to face the Irish. That aside, it certainly would be nice to see the Irish play a quality SEC opponent for a couple of years, at least one that’s not Georgia. These two particular programs are not currently scheduled to play each other anytime soon, but one always can dream.
The Irish and Rebels are tied, 1-1, all-time. The Rebels handed the Irish the only loss of their 1977 national championship season, 20-13. In 1985, the Irish got revenge in a 37-14 victory at Notre Dame Stadium. They then proceeded to drop their final three games of that season to finish 5-6.
