killer cacti Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 In my opinion there is nothing worse than watching/listening to Lou Holtz go on and on about how good ND is even though they have losing seasons. Even worse, try hearing him talk like this about South Carolina. He thinks that both ND & SC are great because he coached there. From what I understand Holtz is a pretty good guy. Just misguided. I thought announcers were supposed to be somewhat unbiased (or at least pretend to be). Yeah, I've heard the same. And if by misguided you mean should have stayed away from the University of South Carolina, I'd agree with you there too. Did nothing but hurt his reputation, although it did help his finances.

Chef K Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Can't say I hate ND, more like indifferent to them. We do have a common enemy where I live. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hate is a very strong word. But yes, I do hate them. Quote Link to comment
jkstlrnu1 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I consider a ND loss as good as a NU win. two things make me smile on Football Saturdays, NU winning & ND losing. Just their holier than thou bullsh*t. Like the affiliation with bowls & the BCS. Example, The Gator Bowl takes ACC, BIG XII or you guessed it : Notre Dame. I want them to keep Weis as a coach for 30 years. Hes almost pulled a complete Clownahan there. & I dont want to see it stop anytime soon. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Do you Huskers hate ND as much as I do? No....I hate them much more than you could ever imagine Quote Link to comment
Frankenfinger Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Not a Husker. I'm more of a maroon natured individual to your south. But... OMG! ND is about #1 on my list of teams to hate. GR. Very irritating how even when they are losing to Navy and Syracuse they are still on TV. Oh wait, come to think of it, that does make for great TV. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The thing that gets to me is how most of the media would give their left nut before they dogged on ND. They can lose and it takes forever for them to drop in the polls. let them win a couple and they are right back where they lkeft off at. ANY other team in the country except maybe usc has to earn their spot every week. Screw em Man get over yourselves. Don't you remember in '07 when college gameday would keep asking "when do you think Notre Dame is going to score a TOUCHDOWN!?" or when the ND/Mich game was coming up, how they joked about it being the lowest scoring game in the history of college football? You guys (not everyone of course) are so caught up in your own dillusions it's terrible. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I had a great time in South Bend in 2000. I was treated very well all weekend, and loved the campus. My hate for Notre Dame is less passionate after that experience. What I hate are: - Their exclusive NBC TV contract which gives them a major financial and recruiting edge. Fortunately, ESPN, Fox Sports, and PPV are letting other schools catch up on this. - The "Notre Dame clause" written in the BCS. There's no way an individual team should get singled out for such favorable treatment. - Other schools letting them get away with not being in a conference, but still getting a large BCS bowl share, and even larger when they get into a BCS game. - Lou Holtzth - Charlie Weis - Fans who think they play a killer schedule, by comparing their toughest games with everyone else's non-conference games. They forget that every other team has to run a conference gamut, while they are playing Army and Navy. Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Very irritating how even when they are losing to Navy and Syracuse they are still on TV. Oh wait, come to think of it, that does make for great TV. Love to watch Notre Dame take a beating. I think the only time a rooted for them was that Catholics vs Cons game with Miami when Miami just needed to lose. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hate is such a strong word. But dislike to the point that if the school were a person that I would kick them squarely in the testicles? Yes. And someone has asked why? I take it someone has not encountered a ND fan. The good ones are few and far between. Quote Link to comment
HuskerEric Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm kind of a Notre Dame fan, I usually want them to win, but wanted them to lose so we could get in the gator bowl towards the end of the season. My Grandpa went to ND so I respect it's program and tradition. Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i like North Dakota better than Notre Dame. The Irish should change their abbr. Kind of a slap to the Dakotas eh? Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I have two favorite teams in college football: Number one of course is the Huskers. Number two is whoever is playing the gold dommmmers. Quote Link to comment
jayhawk Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 They have a lot in common with GBR. A lot. I like both. Quote Link to comment
