You could do this to every big college fan base. I never liked the criticism I get from other fan bases that most ND fans never went to ND.

I would think ND would rank close to the bottom of percentage of fans that actually attended the school.

and I'd wager 85-90% of people on here didn't actually attend ND

I know I didn't. But I should get half credit for sending a couple of kids. I guess that makes me only half a loser. LOL

Ya I am in that crowd, my old man went to Notre Dame in the 70s, so in the early 90s when I got into sports I gravitated towards rooting for them.

Notre Dame is unique in where anywhere in the US that there is a Catholic Church there are Notre Dame fans.

I did not go myself, only got an honorable mention Several family members have been through: aunt and uncle both met there, three cousins went through. Grandparents sponsor a scholarship and there's a room in the science building dedicated to them. They had season tickets in the gold seats for 25 years, gave them up a few years ago.

I've lived in South Bend all my life and the growing university is biggest reason why property taxes around here go up every year.

Fuck everyone that thinks you have to go to that school to be a fan.

Amen

I have followed the Irish on and off since they first appeared on tv here in Ireland in 1985. I'm not American, I'm not Irish (English), I'm not Catholic but I spend more time on ND sites than any other and listen to most of the podcasts. I stay up till 4 in the morning watching night games and I'm just captivated by it all. I'm retired and have seen the Irish the 3 times they have played in Dublin and hope that in the next couple of years I hope to get to South Bend.

That's pretty damn cool. If you've followed the team for that long and to those lengths I truly hope you get an opportunity to see a game in South Bend sometime. Every fan deserves to go at least once. If you do go I suggest getting there early so you can see all the sites and sounds around campus, visit the landmarks, etc. Late September till late October is a great time to go, it's usually perfect temperature as long as there's no rain.

Once you experience it once as a fan it's hard not to go back. As Lou always says: "Those who know Notre Dame, no explanation’s necessary. Those who don’t, no explanation will suffice."

And this right here my friends is why playing games in Dublin (and hopefully in Italy soon) is so important. It's like Rockne's vision of a coast to coast brand when he wanted to schedule annual games in California but now it's a global vision.

After winning an Asterisk*

It'll be easy to change his tattoo to 0-15-0 once the sanctions hit.

Denard Robinson is no longer with the team. The ship just keeps sinking for that piece of trash program. Hopefully a vacated national title next.

He's the monicker of what Scum is .... a piece of SHIT! Muck Fichigan!

Good! Skunkbears gonna need to start drinking this season when their team kicks the bucket!

Picked up Lindy's last week when it came out and I'm shocked how high they're picking Michigan not only in the Big Ten but nationally.

These preview shows and mags can often be very lazy. Picking Michigan this high is based off of last year and not reality.

They're going to be flabbergasted when they play a team with a pulse in September.

Their first FIVE GAMES are at home, BTW.

You would think Texas goes up there and doesn't spare the rod on them, but stranger things have happened.

Yeah, tose cheatin' muther fuckers!

Is EJ’s latest blunder being discussed on the site anywhere? Sounds like it would fit into multiple threads.

What did he do now? Or was this referring to his meltdown last week?

About MI only recruiting affluent QB’s? Did I miss that and only catch wind of it today while skimming X?

That is insane

You hate to see it 🫠

They stole a tainted natty and Frappuccino fairy cant even enjoy it.

 

[greyhammer90]

Calling this systematically racist says more about the Tweeter than EJ lol.

But don't let that distract you from the fact that EJ Holand is a clown and bitch-made.

 

[Blazers46]

In other words they are finding a profile of players that are cheap. I get it.

It is objectively weird that Michigan can't get their NIL together. Maybe they're facing the same issue that ND did for awhile where the powers that be are saying "You're winning without us helping! I guess that means we don't need to help!"
