Dodger - please re-read my earlier post. The only statement I made regarding an ND degree is that I have disdain for anyone, especially 'subway alums', only looking at the football side of an issue/policy rather than the overall impact for the Notre Dame community, to which includes those who never attended also belong. In no way, shape or form was I implying that only attendees of the university should be allowed to be or considered fans.
Thanks for clarifying. I always respect the perspective of ND alums but I also love the fact that ND has fans in every state who didn't attend the University but root for it based on its excellence on & off the field. Much like the farmers in Nebraska who live & die w/ Husker football or EVERY living soul in the state of Alabama who is either a Tide fan or a Tiger fan and won't hesitate to let you know which side they represent. In states w/ no pro football, the working class (& the alums) bleed their respective teams' colors through & through.
BTW, I like the "snow bowl" pic. & just watched the replay of that game in which DuBose was interviewed after the game...class act & a helluva LB.
