"I grew up a Notre Dame fan" which =

"I grew up wanting to play QB for ND just like my hero Joe Montana but Gerry Faust took Ken Karcher over me and now I'll hate them for eternity."

I really enjoy your sense of humor crus.....

But you kind of hit it on the head on the flutie hate thing......he says one things and people automatically take it to mean another.

example fl

what flutie says...."I really like Sam Darnold as a qb"

what some IE members hear........Notre Dame is an ineffective program of developing a qb with Darnold's skill....

I'll say it again. I dont care if Flutie is a homer or a hater, the issue is that he's a bad color commentator.

Tell you something else, I'm not big on the Game Day guys either. To be honest, it is just a Big 10 fest with all those guys. Herbie not so bad but geez, the others.......

At least Joey Galloway has folded like an SC starter in the face of ND's relentless achievement. To be fair, watching him come around on ND has been a salute to his professionalism. (In case he shares a cube with Wiz and Providence's mascot.)

Except that he also says things like, "If Wimbush was coached well...."

Meanwhile, who has more TOs this year? BW or Darnold? But Darnold is the one walking on water according to Flutie... Whatever, bro.

Who is this Mayock you speak of? Was he an assistant to the Queen of NBC during her reign?

I really miss her. Like, seriously miss her.

Flanagan was smoking hot, man hands and all.

Flutie is bad at his job regardless of team loyalty or lack thereof!

DILLY DILLY!

I can't believe they threw the dude with the honey mead in The Pit of Misery in favor of a bunch of Bud Light...

It's statements like that that can get you thrown into the Pit of Misery. You're playing a dangerous game Camper.

I've never heard another announcer nor "imagined" another announcer be so biased against ND as Flutie has been. People ragged on Hammond, but he was never considered biased. Some people didn't like Mayock for his color commentary, but his bias was never brought into question. Same for Haden, he was never criticized that much. Flutie? It's very apparent he can't say nice things about Notre Dame when they're doing well, and he jumps on the chance to point out their flaws. I pointed out in the very opening series of USC the bias. We drive down the field on a TD and Flutie had criticism for Wimbush while praising Jack on the play despite the fact he was out of position. Bias aside, Flutie isn't even decent at color commentary. He's garbage. Nobody is asking for a homer, but many of us would taken Haden or Mayock back if it meant Flutie was gone.

I always thought Haden had some bias simmering that boiled over at times... I assume some here agree with that as he has been mentioned numerous times in that context... he was nothing compared to Flutie though, if you honestly think his overall tone isn't consistently pro ND-opponent then I don't think we are listening to the same broadcasts... and I really liked Flutie prior to his taking over so it's not like I was sitting there looking for stuff.

I agree that Haden was never as bad as Flutie. I mentioned him because it can't just be a coincidence that two our most recent color commentators have strong ties to our historic rivals. So it seems like NBC is intentionally hiring people that are likely to be biased against us to call our games.

Mayock too... He's a BC Alum.

Whoh, forgot all about this thread. The man that created it is a genius.

I haven't heard Brees call a game yet, but I like the prospect of him possibly calling our games if it means Flutie is out.

A very stable genius.
