I'm missing something. Clotho pulls out the "Purdue and PSU were a few dropped passes from being in it with the Irish" and then shoots down the argument that we were in it until the last few minutes against tOSU last year. It doesn't go both ways. If you use logic like you did to define how mediocre ND is, don't bash someone who uses the lame logic to define why ND isn't deserving of your criticism.
Also, you say that since BSU beat OrSU which beat USC (a slippery slope to go down regardless, but you went down it, face first), can't the same be said for our win over UCLA who also beat USC? Granted we didn't "blow out" UCLA but we still won, so what's your point? Let me take a shot at your rationale:
We beat Purdue pretty handily (by the score, at least) yet Purdue barely squeaked by a Hawaii team that barely got beat by BSU. Therefore, BSU isn't very strong.
Regardless, you incite people for "homerism" when... drumroll please, YOU'RE ON AN ND FOOTBALL FORUM FOR GOD'S SAKES. What did you think you were going to find here? It's fine to be realistic, I think most people are on here... they tend to get a little hyperbole going but that's to be expected, isn't it? By doing what you do in response to "homer posts" you don't change anyone's opinion of ND, you just make yourself look like an obnoxious prick. Whether you are or aren't, so be it. But it's comical that you get so riled up about the posts here and then bitch about it like the other posters are the idiots.
