I thought this might be a fun/interesting thread. The other day I was talking with some friends and we joked about how since a friend of ours is attending a rival college for basketball they might "revoke our tickets and student ID's" for cheering against our school for our friend to do well. I got to thinking that there might be some aspects of our sports fandom that might not be favorable to the ND fan in us. Some might call it guilty pleasures or whatever but its a long time till the bowl thought this might be fun. My un-ND things im guilty of are....

1. My football idol is John Elway....a graduate of our rival the standford cardinal is the only reason I ever followed pro-football closely which made me interested in coll. football which made me a fan of ND like every good young cathoilic boy should be :).

2. When I was i high school my dream was to play for Notre Dame above all else. But if I couldnt make it to Notre Dame my second dream was to play under....Joe Paterno. Thats right I wanted to play for Joe Pa who seems to be a hated man by most of my fellow ND fans.

3. This one might actually get me kicked out for real. I have never been able to go to an ND home game but my cousin used to attend Purdue and I did see a Purdue home game once and while i want Purdue to get demolishe dby the Irish theyre one of the only teams in the Big Ten I follow because I dont care for the Big Ten.

Now if I havent become more hated than I already am to some on these boards when I make my sky is fallin posts after bad games and much negativaty from friends who hate my teams and after much hard liquor and beer are there any things like that my fellow ND fans have that they might not wanna hide or jsut get off their chest.

I always cheer for Michigan when they aren't playing ND. Just because a real good friend of mine is a UM fan.

My high school team was the Braves and the "tomahawk chop" was always played at our games, so a little nostalgia with the song. Then, a buddy of mine attended Florida State and I went to a game with him. The atmosphere (and Sterger-esque women) were an amazing experience. I also liked Bobby Bowden. So, I tend to tune into Florida State games when ND is not playing opposite on Saturdays.

Nothing on this beautiful green earth could get me to turn my back on notre dame.......True story i got dumped by an ex of mine simply because she thought i liked notre dame more than her, which if you are wondering is very much true

Oh Id never turn my back on Notre Dame but there are aspects to me that are somewhat un-notre dame. Like idolizing a Stanford guy and having to settle for Joe Pa if ND im not good enough for ND (for the record I wasnt good enough for ND, Joe Pa, an FCS team, or an NAIA team I was dubbed the "lot of heart" kid

Who doesn't, I think this is the entire reason Rockne wanted to go halfway across the country and play them every year. If this is a sin, I'm guilty also.

this one... though not because of a friend... they are just the rival I respect enough that most of you hate... though beating them every year is priority number two behind SC.

I also root for Navy obviously...

other than that, not much can get me in trouble... I married an OU girl (no biggie really), may be moving to Austin soon (bigger thing for her than for myself)... and I also tend to root very highly for Kansas, UCLA and Texas A&M. (though not anywhere near what I do with ND)
