Here's Hank's recap (he seems to be too modest to post links):

Have you recovered yet? Have you allowed yourself to accept that what you saw actually happened? In one of the best games you'll ever see between two of the best teams in America, the Stanford Cardinal and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish battled all night long and into the final seconds of the game to produce an instant classic. Earlier this week I wrote that this rivalry seemed a bit manufactured, but today I can't imagine ever thinking that.

Thanks Hank, great write-up, as usual.  As for the rivalry, I think it's a bit asymmetric.  I think we dislike Notre Dame more than they dislike us (though I at least don't resent Notre Dame fans for not hating on Stanford the way Cal fans seem to resent us for not caring enough about them).  I think there's a fair amount of respect between the teams themselves, which is good.  As someone else noted, the two teams were pretty sporting during the game.

I have certainly enjoyed the back and forth the last few years.  It definitely feels better to be on the winning side, though.
