To Piggyback off of...

[mick2]

I think what opposing fans don' tunderstand is that Notre Dame's front 7 has three 1st round NFL draft picks -Nix/Tuitt/Teo- and Lewis- Moore/Shembo/Spond/Fox are very good players. They are used to seeing ND's front 7 get manhandled against better teams. That's not going to happen this year.

good point, i think opposing fans also see the close games we've had and think that we're just squeaking by on luck.

But the fact is we're playing defense better than I've ever seen.

we are stopping the run, and running well.

bottom line is this: It doesn't matter what day of the week, or what stadium we're in, or what team we're playing. We are coming to play 60 minutes. so get ready.

GO IRISH!

Calm thyself. It's totally OK that your fans were less-than-nice. It's not an accusation - it's God's truth. And it's OK! It's not like I got spat on or anything.

I'm asking you again: What specifically happened to you that made you say you were "not treated well" by ND fans?

BTW, Lou did not steal the PLACT sign from OU. He found it looking in history books of ND sports.

Well, some fratty-types tried to start a fight with our group, one of our girls was groped, and the OU stuff on our rental car was all ripped off.

Seriously, we got trash-talked from the 3rd quarter until we got out of town. I wouldn't say any one person was nice to us whatsoever. But then again, all I said above was that we weren't treated kindly. And we weren't. No need to get your panties in a wad. I'm not worked up about it; it's no big deal whatsoever. Sheesh man. I'm sorry your fans weren't, like, super extra nice to us. They weren't mean either...just a total and noticeable lack of hospitality.

(You want nice fans, go south. Those fans [other than LSU] are REALLY great. LSU fans are like Miami fans - DON'T GIVE THEM ANY CHANGE.)

I don't know whether ND fans will be treated much nicer, if any, in Norman this weekend.

I think you were very unlucky. I think what puzzles Patulski is that usually opposing fans come back here and tell us how they had a great experience in South Bend etc... I think we are just a little bit surprise by your story as you seem like a decent person is all. Anyways, I think that if you come back next year, your experience should be much better.

First of all, ND doesn't have Frats. Did you know that? Now you do.

Secondly, I don't need you to tell me not to get my "panties in a wad". You're on an ND board. You should use discretion regarding what you say. I doubt you use that phrase routinely to men you don't know in Oklahoma. Maybe it's the internet, where strangers talk too loosely.

I have been to Tennessee. They didn't go out of their way to be nice, but weren't idiots either. Miami on the other hand....

I am surprised that not one person was nice to you during your entire ND experience. It is totally out of the norm. That being said, I'll take your word for it.

We'll see how our fans are treated Saturday. I expect it to be civil, but not too friendly.

Relax Patulski... or if you will... don't get your panties in a wad...

I'm sure it would be. It wasn't BAD. It just wasn't what I would call friendly or gracious. But seriously, it's not like I came home and told everyone how mean you Domers are. Y'all were fine. Just not as nice as, say, Alabama or Clemson, where they go out of their way to actively thank you for coming and ply you with booze and food.

I'll give y'all the benefit of the doubt. And like I've said a few times now: seriously, no big deal. It was probably about how I expected to be treated.

I actually wondered whether you guys had fraternities. Thanks for clearing that up.

//pulls out a kneeler and assumes the grovelling position

I am sorry if I offended you. I like it here. You guys are nice. We only got this Internet thing like a few months ago here in Oklahoma. I am still learning proper protocol. Forgive me.

No problem. I agree with above poster that we do have one of nicest and most welcoming home crowds. But it doesn't mean that 100% of time its perfect. There are outliers. And I had assumed you were joking about the frat dudes above anyway...

No worries. It's an odd messageboard phenomenon that posters are obsessed with "class" and how they're viewed by strangers on the internet.

The Nebbish are also SUPER concerned about being the most hospitable fans in the country, when truth be told, they were raging buttholes at the last Big XII Championship they attended (and lost, to Oklahoma).
