Recently, Notre Dame has struggled, going through several head coaches and setting the all-time bowl losing streak of nine straight with the loss to <a href="/wiki/2006_LSU_Tigers_football_team" title="2006 LSU Tigers football team">LSU</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2007_Sugar_Bowl" title="2007 Sugar Bowl">2007 Sugar Bowl</a> before beating <a href="/wiki/2008_Hawaii_Warriors_football_team" title="2008 Hawaii Warriors football team">Hawaii</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2008_Hawaii_Bowl" title="2008 Hawaii Bowl">2008 Hawaii Bowl</a>. Notre Dame is also the only football program in the nation, including both collegiate and professional ones, with every home game being on national broadcast television. </p><p>In addition to having the oldest university marching band in the country, the school has many rivalries in football, the most famous ones being with <a href="/wiki/USC_Trojans_football" title="USC Trojans football">USC</a>, <a href="/wiki/Navy_Midshipmen_football" title="Navy Midshipmen football">Navy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Michigan_State_Spartans_football" title="Michigan State Spartans football">Michigan State</a>, <a href="/wiki/Army_Black_Knights_football" title="Army Black Knights football">Army</a>, <a href="/wiki/Purdue_Boilermakers_football" title="Purdue Boilermakers football">Purdue</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Michigan_Wolverines_football" title="Michigan Wolverines football">Michigan</a>. Notre Dame played in arguably the greatest, although certainly not the most-watched (due to Notre Dame games' already having been broadcast nationally that season as many times as allowed, ABC had to relegate its broadcast to a regional one), college football game in history: the famous <a href="/wiki/1966_Notre_Dame_vs._Michigan_State_football_game" title="1966 Notre Dame vs. Michigan State football game">10–10 tie</a> against <a href="/wiki/1966_Michigan_State_Spartans_football_team" title="1966 Michigan State Spartans football team">Michigan State</a> at <a href="/wiki/Spartan_Stadium,_East_Lansing" class="mw-redirect" title="Spartan Stadium, East Lansing">Spartan Stadium</a> on November 19, 1966.

The streak-ending game was a 7–0 victory for the Fighting Irish on November 9, 1957. Incidentally, Oklahoma's 28–21 loss to Notre Dame to open the 1953 season was the last loss before the beginning of the streak. In 2012, Oklahoma (at the time 6–1) was favored to defeat Notre Dame (at the time 9–0) by 18 points. Notre Dame ending up winning 30–13 thanks to LB Manti T'eo's game clinching interception late in the 4th quarter, Notre Dame's stellar defense, and a bad snap in the first quarter by Oklahoma's center that sent them back to the 14-yard line. Thanks to the win by Notre Dame, the rivalry has been renewed. The last time Notre Dame reached the National Championship was in 2012 where they suffered a 42–14 loss to Alabama. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Basketball">Basketball</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Basketball"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Men's"><span id="Men.27s"></span>Men's</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Men's"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish_men%27s_basketball" title="Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's basketball">Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's basketball</a></div> <ul><li>Head Coach: <a href="/wiki/Micah_Shrewsberry" title="Micah Shrewsberry">Micah Shrewsberry</a></li> <li>Arena: Purcell Pavilion at the <a href="/wiki/Joyce_Center" title="Joyce Center">Joyce Center</a></li> <li>ACC Titles: 2015</li> <li>National Championships: 2 (1927*, 1936*)</li> <li>Final Fours: 1 (1978)</li></ul> <p>* Pre-tournament era Helms Trophy </p><p>The men's basketball team, coached by Mike Brey since 2000, has made 28 <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Men%27s_Division_I_Basketball_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship">NCAA Tournament</a> appearances and made it to the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Men%27s_Division_I_Basketball_Championship#Final_Four" class="mw-redirect" title="NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship">Final Four</a> in 1978 under coach <a href="/wiki/Digger_Phelps" title="Digger Phelps">Digger Phelps</a>.
