I have been the biggest ND fan since I can remember. I love the movie Rudy, call me a Rudy all you want.I have been to numerious ND football and basketball games, and even a few hockey and baseball. I haven't missed watching a ND football game since I was 7. Everything about ND is special to me, but if your not a fan you can't understand it. Nothing can compare to the tradition of Notre Dame, I don't need to argue my point anymore.

you guys get on me and attack me about ND and are just like all the ND haters across the world, but I feel bad for you guys that you don't have a team with so much tradition to cheer for. I was just pointing out how much the feeling you get going to an ND game and walking around on the campus gives you compared to any other college. I've been to a lot of campuses, none compare to ND . That is my only point.

every program has down years, the good programs recover and rebuild, which is what ND is doing right now. Next year is no National Championship year in football as they are young, but in the next 2-6 years ND will have 3 National Championships. I guarentee Jimmy Claussen gets one for the irish.

academic standards have allowed other schools to catch up with ND in football. That's alright to me, cause do I want them to change their standards, NO! That is another reason ND is what it is, they don't let bums like Randy Moss in, instead those thugs need to go to USC, Florida State, and Miami. Academic standards suck when it comes to sports (cause most of these athletes are dumb as a box of rocks), but its what makes going to ND and playing football for them what it is.

Are you serious? Do u remember when Randy Moss was signed, sealed and delivered for ND after FSU dropped him. Holtz had no choice but to drop him after a marijuana arrest AFTER his arrest for aggravated assault that cost him a ride at FSU. Do you think those "student-athletes" at ND carry the same grade point average as the rest of the student body at ND? Well they don't. And they don't graduate every athlete that puts on a uniform for ND. ND is a wonderful school with a great tradition. But the truth today is that they wet the bed whenever they hit the national stage at the end of the year when the games count. And don't bring up that hockey crap either. Nobody cares. this thread was about SIU and the gutty effort they gave tonight. Scavs has posted all season about their efforts and was giving them a good sendoff. Don't belittle SIU's accomplishments with the nonperformance exhibited yet again by ND.

Nice post MORON!! Scavs post about SIU all year and people give him praise, and then he gets this beautiful sendoff to them. I post one message about ND and their upcoming game and the haters jump all over me. I would have no problem talking about ND all season, and then giving them credit at the end of the year, but jackasses have to jump in and bash ND like always. I actually like it, it shows respect to ND that you guys all have opinions on them. I could give a **** less what an SIU does.

I dont hate Notre Dame I think its a great school.
But ND best stay out of football conference play, they just dont get it done anymore. History and trends change. This school has continued its high academic standards, but football... bad now. Sorry but tell it like it is. Last National Championship was when....?
