Damn, I thought it was penn state they did that for. :lol:Personally, I don't hate ND. I just hate the way the media always makes them out to be one of the best teams every year. They could lose all their starters and the entire coaching staff, but the media would still predict that they are going to destroy all of their opponents and win title after title. I just thought it was nice to see some coverage that isn't as biased as most media outlets.
Ohio St. thought differently. If you look at the teams ND faced last year, you see quite a few of the opponents they scored on at will.. well, everybody scored on those guys at will. Notre Dame is not worthy of a top 5 selection. They have no defense! They have a good offense that pisses itself once they go up against a defense.Uhh, guys?
Notre Dame IS worthy of a top-five selection, at least at this point. They'll score almost at will, making up for a suspect defense.
Now, will that defense get them in trouble, and could they lose a couple of games as a result? Sure.
But as of now, ND should be ranked ahead of us.
I don't think that there is a hatred for the school/team as much as there is a resentment for the praise and attention that they have undeservedly received by the national media, while the Huskers have had to earn every ounce of praise they have ever received. I have kind of resigned myself to this being the way things are and not worrying about it too much. I know several Irish fans and it is fun to tease them because every year, they buy all the hype that is pushed on them.Why does NEbraska hate ND so much?
