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

I hate ND for the following reasons:

They dont deserve the TV contract with NBC. They could be 3-8 NBC would let keep the TV contract, while deserving teams like LSU, Texas, Florida, Auburn, and Penn State aren't on every week like they deserve to be.

Why are they still an independent? Are they afrad if they would go to the Big Ten that would no longer get thier undeserving Bullshit Championship Series bowl game. They aren't the only undeserving team for that.


I am very sure that other people will agree with those two reasons, especially if they have a clue about college football.


GIMME SOME SUGAR NITTANY LION STYLE.

Not defending ND but the teams that you mentioned are hardly under televised.

ND is an independent because they get to keep ALL of the TV money from NBC and bowl games instead of splitting it. You and I would do the same thing in that position.

I think I'm feverish.....I'm actually sticking up for Notre Dame! What is the world coming to?

i know you're supposed to give 10%, i didn't know rooting for the team was also a requirement..but i haven't been a practicing catholic in some time, so i guess i'm slipping.

clausen to start saturday vs the nittany lions. he's their 'best shot at a win'. three huge losses in a row for notre dame now. and it's not going to improve this wknd.
i've always felt that when there are still ?'s about the QB when the season starts, that it will be a bad, looong year. all that is supposed to be ironed out, and decided on, before the opener. how else is the offense supposed to get in a groove? if you doubt that, just look at arkansas EVERY year. nutt can't ever make a decision. and it's his job to do so.
ol charlie better start writing his resume. but hey, michigan might be interested.

any Notre Dame fan knew Clausen was going to be the starter this weekend.

In #7 we trust!
