Before you pull out your guns and start shootin' lemme explain. I've always disliked Notre Dame for a great many reasons, the primary one being, the title of the website ENVY!!! If I had to list em it'd be like this:
1. Great academic institution - I couldn't get in if my life depended on it.
2. Great fight song - Though there are others I love as much.
3. Amazing history - You couldn't script a school's football history and give it to Hollywood... nobody'd believe it.
4. Your swagger - Ain't braggin' if you can do it says Muhammed Ali.
5. Your rings - See number 4 above.
6. Your destruction of many a brave Army Team - I was a Sgt. First Class in the Regular Army, Combat Engineers. When I became a civilian I got tickets to many a game at the Point. I never had much use for Officers, even one's in training but they're preferable over you civilian pukes anyday.
All this wealth and success concentrated in one place is just plain wrong!!!! Now look at it from MY side a second.
1. I went to a State School in Syracuse, New York. The BIG school in town sucked, and it's mascot is a frickin' Orange!
2. We had no fight song to speak of.
3. Success, one national championship EVER and a guy had to kill himself almost to get em that one!
4. Swagger? Don't have none.
5. Rings? See number 3.
So the point of my thread is that I would KILL to have one 10th of the storied history you guys have. Sure, you're going through a rough patch MOST ordinary teams and people do. Hell I'm a Mets fan AND a Raider fan, you guys' have nothin' to kick about!!! I used to come here and just watch you guys gloat or cuss and never thought of registering or posting. But all this anger pain and suffering round here has kinda changed my mind. I'm actually rootin' for you guys a bit, why?
1. I appreciate passion in sports. I love die hard fans who care and bleed for their team and you guys do that.
2. Some of you guys are nuts.
3. Some of you guys are flat out funny.
4. You feckin' guys care and I like that.
ND will be back, just like the Yankees and foot fungus. You guys just need to do what you do best, suck it up and Hold Fast. As for my personal history with ND. Very little, I've known some Subway Alums over the years (you think you guys are nuts). But as an outsider, all I can say is be thankfull for what you've had and humble when you get good again.
Worf Out...
