University of Miami football is in the midst of a renaissance. The U is currently a perfect 9-0 after blowing out third-ranked Notre Dame 41-8 on Saturday night, and figures to be in a prime position to make the College Football Playoff if they can reel off a few more wins. But for the second straight week, their game was marred by a violent incident in the stands.
In the video above (via 5th Year), you can see a rowdy group of fans representing Miami and Notre Dame — two longtime rivals — furiously throwing down in the concourse of Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
The most violent part of the brief clip begins at the 12 second mark. There, a Notre Dame fan (wearing that team’s green), who had been fighting with someone else, jumps in on another skirmish and hits a Miami fan in the back of the head. Then, a Miami fan (sporting his team’s orange) jumps in from nowhere, and clocks that Notre Dame fan with a right hand shot. Almost instantly, that Miami fan pays the price — as another Notre Dame supporter absolutely clocks the guy with a vicious right hand of his own.
The scuffle comes one week after a fan slapped a police officer as she was being removed from the stadium for disorderly conduct. That officer responded by punching her in the face.

That was pathetic to watch.
“Always happy to see Notre Dame lose.
Don’t care much who beats them.”
I agree! I went to Tempe, Arizona, for the Fiesta Bowl when WVU played Notre Dame. Notre Dame players were so arrogant and cocky and taunted WVU players unmercifully that Lou Holtz had to go onto the middle of the field to yell at them to settle down several times. He was so angry.
The fans were not any better. Notre Dame led big from the very beginning, and yet the players and fans were the rudest I have ever seen. It was awful. I’m so glad Miami Hurricanes beat them by as much as they did! Yay!
The fight was certainly more entertaining that the football game was.
No wonder why people hate self righteous assholes like yourself.
Apples/oranges. Jesus was not guilty, but convicted anyway. Lighten up.
IT’s a decades old college meme...
Get over yourself.
That was more of a drunken *itch-slap session than a fight, I expected something a little different from the headline.
The Fighting Irish.
That was the only "fight" in the Irish that night.
It sure was nice all those years of Miami mediocrity when their fans were quiet.
Now we are all getting a reminder of how obnoxious they are.
Why do the sports channels push Notra Dame football so hard? Every year they get a pre season top 10 and very rarely live up to anywhere close. Why? I don’t get it.
