OK...Prior to 2004, the Boston Red Sox hadn't won a World Series since 1918.
Sooooo was I supposed to stop rooting for them? A lot of people should just spend more time and energy supporting their own team rather than knocking people for the teams they like. It's actually kind of hilarious to see people get nuts going off on it.

Going nuts? Hmm isn't this a free forum or not? I do support my teams: Pitt, Penn State, Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins. And the Naval Acadamy in football, im partial to them since I retired after being in the Navy for 20 years.

i think other teams and fans resent notre dame because they get a lot of air time--but that's because they produce the ratings...right or wrong, it's all about money in the end. also why notre dame gets a bowl game every year, deserved or not.

oh, and GO PENN STATE!!

Well it helps when your local NBC affiliate is owned by the University.

Excellent....How Refreshing. Actually I root for Penn State too. I rally around a guy like Joe Paterno, who by the way many people were ready to hang a few years ago. They went through some tough seasons as well.

all the respect in the world for joe paterno. in an age of what have you done for me lately, and chasing the almighty dollar, he showed that he admired that program as much as they did him--and showed a loyalty not seen much these days. he was chased after by many college and pro teams over the years, but stuck with the college--so often people say they want a 'new challenge', but what about the challenge of making a top program, and then keeping it at the top thru thick and thin, and staying the course in the lean years? i hope he has great success this year, i know that there aren't many paterno years left, so i hope he has a great time.

I'll wade back in since the last time I was involved in this post was pg 4 Sat night..Irish can support whoever he wants..but he invites criticism, and should take it, when he posts that "You wish you could be ND"...
Come on..

Canon..Michigan beats ND by at least 14

i respect nd's place in college football history and tradition. they've earned every drop of it.
i dislike the way the ncaa and tv cater to them, whether they deserve it or not.
i also find 3 different groups of nd fans:
a-reasonable, knowledgeable, that you can have a good time with.
b-i'm better that you because i went to nd .
c-last of all, fans like Irish.
they just invite abuse and can't understand why the "world's against them".

Jimmy Clausen showing up in a stretch Hummer didn't do much to help their cause. Charlie Weis suing his surgeon because his fat belly didn't heal properly didn't either.
And what would the precious alumini be doing if Ty Willingham (sp?) had lost the home opener by 30?

and then there's this oldie but a goodie from Irish..

on a side note, there is nothing better than being a Notre Dame fan because I know how much you guys truly do envy Notre Dame. I don't know what it is with all the ND haters, but I find it to be pretty funny. I understand how it is, if I wasn't raised a Notre Dame fan I would probably be pretty upset and envy the Irish as well, but I was just one of the lucky ones. Instead of the hate, you guys can convert over, I promise you will enjoy college football a lot more as a Notre Dame fan.

i can't imagine enjoying college football more than I already do...oh, but i AM a girl, and thus probably don't understand it all anway.

but yeah, that absolute holier than thou attitude doesn't help, does it? does a notre dame fan really believe that his team is gods team?? lol
