I mean if their brand isn’t being obnoxious thugs, what is it? That’s literally it. And they’re proud of it.

I mean to state the obvious, it's all about race. Calling a group of largely black student athletes "unintelligent thugs" has racial overtones. Even if you don't mean it from that place, other people are going to take it that way. Calling them some combination of "wanna-be tough small-dick fair-weather douchebags" probably covers 90% of the same bases.

And that’s all Miami fans needed

They need more. Lots more. Make them dilate.

All they do is talk shit, and now they can’t. They don’t know what to do. It’s killing then to pretend they are above all that.

It’s a moral dilemma:

A) act sanctimonious and keep the high ground

B) lash out and lose the high ground

They are twisted in a pretzel. Make them tap out and then lash out.

i’ve listened to pods from both sides. No one I heard is predicting a blowout. All the ND pods were unanimous that ND would win by a range of 2-10. Similar from the Miami guys. Tells me, they may be educated guesses but they do frickin‘ know anymore than we do.
We are winning this game by 10+. The beat writers are a bunch of bedwetters.

If society gets any more woke, replays of the 1988 game will be banned due to the appearance of Catholics vs Convicts t-shirts, and ND will be branded racist for having admissions standards, both academic and behavioral.

Are there thugs in college football? Yes.

Does Miami have more of them than ND? Yes. 98% of major college football teams do.

Does Miami also have more thugs among its largely White/Latino fanbase? Yes.

Are the average test scores of Miami players going to compare favorably to ND's. No. Few college football teams will compare favorably to ND academically.

When recruits, parents, and others have marveled at ND lockerroom culture (since long before Freeman), what's that all about? A collection of largely bright and respectful young men (i.e. fewer relatively unintelligent and thuggish lads than other places)

Does ND have a shitload of upstanding Black players? Yes.

Does Miami have an unusually high ratio of Black players? No, at least not by southern standards.

Over its history, has Miami had more thuggish players and fans than most schools? Probably, yes.

Has Miami's football program, at times, from the top down, embraced and/or promoted a thuggish culture. Yes.

Are they aware of this, and have they made attempts at times to clean up their image? Yes and yes.

Does the state of Florida have a national reputation for producing uncivilized citizens of all skin colors? Yes.

Is it warranted? Dunno. It's at least partly due to unusually high levels of legal transparency and media interest.

Did these podcasters screw up by virtue of overstatement and vile tone? Yes.

Did Crawford and his friend overreact? Yes.

I (like many others on this board) consume A LOT of ND football related media. Podcasts, articles, what have you. Like tens of hours a week during the season. I have legitimately never once heard of that podcast or those dudes
I don’t do any of that except read an occasional article and my wife thinks I’m obsessed. Lol

Key is to not be married, and while dating showcase your neurotic obsession with 18-22 year olds playing a game. Then when you’re married it won’t be a surprise
