New Rule: Yes, Notre Dame is different. Get over it. If your school were important enough to get its own NBC contract and thumb its nose at conference affiliation, do you really think it would decline?

That should be called The JoePA Rule.

Just for the sake of precision, let's note a little faux pas on Forde's part here. It's not that the University of ND is important enough to merit NBC's largesse, it's that ND's football team is important enough.

Your team l-o-s-t. Try to deal.

You know what they say about excuses. They're like @ssholes We all have one and they stink. What also stinks is where the officials spotted the ball after Matt Leinart helicoptered out of bounds and fumbled.

Try using your real name on a message board

My mother calls me Jigga. It even says so on my jewelry, license plate and tattoo.

In these days of identity theft and on line weirdos, I'm taking a big risk by dong this.

Nobody else thinks his or her team gets enough respect from the media, either. You're encouraged to come up with a new complaint.

But....but....the haters. You know, the haters?

Respect is the mule that gets beaten the most in football.

If you know the name of the long snapper but don't know the name of the school president, reevaluate your priorities.

I got you on this one. The school president is one of the people that has decided that the University and Holy Cross Order will no longer administrate/sponsor the high school I attended, also called Notre Dame, because the school is not fiscally strong. Then we open the books and we're in the black. Bank of America even says we're in great standing with our loan and are a low risk. So they just don't want to run the high school anymore and gave a bullshit reason instead.

Know all about that guy, Pat. Off the top of my head, I can't name the long snapper on the team, though. Got priorities?

If you insist on smugly condemning the complete lack of morality and ethics at Rival U when one of its players gets in trouble, prepare a good defense for when one of your team's players screws up the next week. Today's "great kid" could be tomorrow's armed robber.

Pat, our guys are boxers, baseball players and 2007 first round draft picks. And this is Notre Dame. Studying gets in the way of armed robbery, Pat.

If your school were important enough to get its own NBC contract and thumb its nose at conference affiliation, do you really think it would decline?

Of course they would, Pat. Who the hell would not want to share their bowl winnings with Indiana, Illinois, Purdue and Michigan State? I mean, come on.

We know you have a brilliant, unique, surefire plan for an NCAA football playoff. Your barber, your bank teller and the kid working the espresso machine at Starbucks have playoff plans too. And Myles Brand isn't interested in any of them.

He sure doesn't. It says so on my restraining order, jerk.

USC won a share of the 2003 national title, no matter what the BCS says about the LSU-Oklahoma Sugar Bowl being the title game. Quit being greedy, and quit talking about it three years later.

OU and LSU was 1 vs 2. SC won the 1A game against Michigan that year. The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room.

Flying a car flag when your team is 5-0 is easy. Try it when your team is 0-5.

I flew mine during all three Willingham years and every baseball season. What else you got?

If you turn to a sportswriter for guidance on how to be a college football fan, reevaluate your priorities.

I wouldn't turn to a sportswriter driving a fire engine if I were engulfed in flames, Pat. Consider it done.

Unfortunately, I'm fresh out of rep points for you.

Well, I've yet to see any networks televise any school's biology lectures.

If it counts for anything, mass from Notre Dame's Basillica is broadcast nationally on a cable network every Sunday morning. :)

and there you are wrong... on The Season, there was a minute or so of some freshman science lecture (although I don't think it was actually biology).

and as for this one:

My car flag (okay, don't actually have one, but the idea) is always flying, 24-7-365 since the day I became a Notre Dame fan back when I was about 2.

I had two ND car flags on the limo when I got married, and that was before we played a single game under Weis. (Random semi-cool side note, the previously mentioned limo was the same white stretch hummer that Jimmy C is catching so much flak for taking to the Hall of Fame.)

Great Post, Jigga.

Too bad IrishFan81 couldn't chime in on this one. Last I heard, he was flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog sh!t out of Hong Kong.

OK, I've actually read his article now and have some thoughts.

I guess he has a point when it comes to priorities. I think that makes ND special. In more cases than not, I think most ND fans, even the subs, appreciate the university for what it represents as a whole. Granted, there are exceptions. But some of his points are warrented when looking at college football fans in general. (yes even some ND fans)

However, I feel the way he hammers on that point over and over quite ironic or even hypocritical. The guy no doubt makes a nice living writing about college football because of fans that can't get enough and live for this stuff 24/7. "Perspective" and "priorities" are not new mantras for college football writers. They have been harping on that point for years. And yet, they continue to collect those paychecks that are no doubt built upon our lack of priorties as fans.

I just actually read it too and thought it was pretty funny.

and as for this one:
If you know the tailgate lot at the stadium like the back of your hand but wouldn't be able to find the campus library without joining a tour group, reevaluate your priorities.

does ND have just one tailgate lot? I don't know. I do know I live right by the library, so it would be impossible not to see it. The question for ND should be, how many people realize that TD Jesus is the library.

I would guess that everyone, that knows anything at all about ND and ND football would know that is the library.

He's been busted, lost his qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral's daughter!

I also heard a rumor that he flies by the seat of his pants.

"Because I was inverted."

"Bull shit".

"No he was. I was there. It was a really great move."

This is a target rich environment. Even Jiggs could get laid in a place like this.

You would think, and I'm sure anyone who really follows ND knows, but I've had some people who follow ND to some extent from back home telling me to be sure to check out TD Jesus when I'm up here. I tell them I'm sure I will as it's the library, and they are suprised. but again, they're not really big time ND fans, more fair-weather fans.

It doesn't get much better than this boys. Gotta love it.
"Don't you leave me Maverick!"

Quick question for a dumbass like myself: How do you "reply with quote" to a post, like jigga did, where you break up the individual statements into those separate gray quotation boxes? I can't figure that one out. Told ya I was a dumbass.

An 0-1 start is not the end of the world, especially with a 12-game schedule. Unless you start 0-1 with a buy game against what was supposed to be a guaranteed chump.

You misspelled "BYU," Mr. Forde.

That's the first time I've ever seen a Wolverine admit it.
