ummmm, yeah. This guy is a lock.

OK not to be a jerk but I will never understand this I am a fan of both teams crap! My best friend is a FSU and OSU fan...how? How can you be a true ND fan and be happy if a top OL recruit goes to Kansas your other team...

I agree, when it comes to sports you either have a "team" or you don't!!! My girlfriend's dad is the worst college football fan of all time, he'll switch to whatever Michigan team is doing well and claims "I'm just a fan of good sports, I don't understand why you like ND so much".

It's not about football entirely, to me it's tradition, it's something that can't be explained....
the feeling I get when that first football saturday comes and the Irish run out of the tunnel, the goose bumps I get just can't be explained. Sorry about the rant, it's been not such a great Wednesday morning.

I am an Irish catholic kid born and raised 25 minutes from Lawrence, my earliest memories are of watching KU and Notre Dame. I am an Irish Kansan, and I love both, and I really don't need to explain it to anyone, but I have loved both since I have known what sports are, they don't play each other regularly in anything, and often don't compete for recruits. The "bad" fans are the ones who jump on bandwagons of teams when they are doing well like the Michigan/Michigan St. guy you named, thats even worse--They are RIVALS!! If anything I am a glutton for punishment, I love the IRish the Jayhawks, the Chiefs, and the Royals.

I know what you mean about watching the IRish run out of the tunnel, I get the same feeling watching KU's hoops team run out into allen fieldhouse. If you have never been to a basketball game at KU you are missing something, just like if you have never been to a football game in South Bend. I am lucky enough to have witnessed both, along w/ the Jayhawks playing football in Memorial Stadium, I really want to come up and watch the Irish hoop it up in the Joyce Center asap. I support both teams in everything they do, sorry about my rant, I have just recently caught a lot of crap about this b/c the Irish were down and the Jayhawks were way up.

I will just tell you that Kansas will not remain at the top of college football. They had a great season and may have another really good year in 2008, but expect them to fall back to mediocre status soon. They are similar to Rutgers. Everyone said that they were going to be a year in year out power. They started to slip in 2007 and now with Ray Rice leaving, they will be back to complete mediocre status in 2008. These teams cannot recruit with the top programs year after year. They get a good set of talent once every 10 years.
