Notre Dame hater be gone. Just cause you wish SIU had just a little bit of the traditon and glory that is Notre Dame, it's ok, I understand. We are talking the Class of Division 1 athletics, and some mid major.

and Scavs, name one powerhouse program who doesn't have these so called "spoonfed" athletes that you speak of. Not possible, all you can name is the shitty mid majors, and the only reason these guys aren't spoonfed is because they couldn't hold Brady Quinns jock.

You act like noone gives a **** about hockey. I love Horse Racing, but how many people that aren't involved in the sport really give a **** about it? Hockey has a lot more fans than horse racing.

If Tennessee doesn't cover i'm putting this computer in my car on the way to western union and throwing the god damn thing over the bridge.

Yeah a bunch of Canadian and Russian douchebags.

please, fill me in on all the horse racing fans in America compared to hockey.

Your off your rocker....Hockey gets lower ratings then some cartoons...

And as far as arguing with you, it is pointless because you are blinded by the BS auro that NOTRE DAME supposedly has.....

I will tell you this, SIU would have smoked Notre Dame this year, and probably the last three years in Basketball, and our NCAA Division 1AA team would have probably played you hard for 3 quarters because you guys sucked, and will continue to suck until they have players that have heart and stop thinking about the next level

Hoss, they have watched Rudy too many times, that is the issue

I love the movie, but I know about 20 people that I have what I consider Rudyitis and it involves their unrealistic thoughts about how good Notre Dame is because of a dude where the movie is based on, with alot true, and a couple major things reported incorrectly

This is a public forum so I thought I would join the fray. One of Notre Dame's problems is they haven't been playing with the BIG BOYS. Outside of the USC game at Notre Dame they have been pimp slapped by the BIG BOYS. They're popularity is their own worst enemy right now. ND is getting in bowl games they don't deserve to be in simply because they are ND. Only one major problem with that for ND, unfortunately their opponents have deserved to be there and have made that more than obvious while playing against ND. They desperatly need some wins with substance behind them which they haven't had of late.

College football is ridiculous, you hit it right on the head, they get into bowl games because they travel well

want to talk football scavs, I love ND basketball, but ND is a football school my man.

I just looked at SIUs bball schedule and results from this year, and can you please tell me one real team they played and beat, I would like to hear it. Losing to Bradley, Evansville, who is Evansville???? They did get a big win over Va Tech this year however. SIU was not a good team, and they had a cake road to the sweet 16. Holy Cross and Va Tech are WEAK, if they would have played a real team they would have been done.

I'm sorry I focus on more than one sport Dahoss.

Irish slow down buddy, I'm a big ND fan, but you are bordering on lunacy here. ND has not been solid in football or basketball in 10 years. This years ND basketball team was a joke. Winthrop please, SIU played one of the top 5 teams in the country on a neutral court and came up just short. Why are you talking about ND having heart when SIU won 2 more games then they did in the dance.

College Hockey has like 10 fans

If you can't talk sports dahoss, go back to horse racing, it seems like the only thing you know. I've talked about all ND athletics yes, but I have placed it in the Sports Bar side and you come to read. Without people talking about their teams, what would this side be made of. I guess when ND loses (such as SIU) I should come on here and give my congratulations to the team so that I don't have to take sh1t for talking about them before the game, apparently that works.

your not an ND fan if you think this years ND bball team was a joke. They overachieved big time, they were picked to finish like 14th in the Big East, and finished 4th. They got a sh1tty draw and drew Winthrop, who was better than an 11 seed really. It was a tough loss, butno shame in it.
