I'm Sorry Dudes...

[woolybug25]

I am a whiney loser....

First, it was the USF game. Take away the fact that they are currently getting the doors blown off of them by a crappy Pitt team, regardless of that, they suck. That certianly didn't stop them from beating us though. I got shitcan drunk that night and got in a fight with a pile of wood in my buddy's back yard.... needless to say... I lost.

Then we get to the scUM game. I have quite a few retarded Michigan fan friends that are huge blowhards that constantly want to tell me how much ND sucks, while completely disregarding their own mediocrity. Again, they beat us in heart breaking fashion.

After that, I kinda had a "come to Jesus" moment. I realized that I cant live my life gauging my stress and happiness on whether or not ND wins on Saturdays. So I took the last couple weeks off and let my Tivo watch the game for me. Each week I returned home from a day out in the mountains to see an Irish victory after a great day of fishing, and now life is good.

ND will lose again. Who knows when that will be, but when it happens, I am in a better place mentally and will be able to handle it. I am still excited about the future of this program and am proud to be an ND fan. I needed to reach this tipping point to start enjoying it again. That being said, sorry I left for a while. You were all missed.

Go Irish!

I was out of my element.

Glad your back Ninja.

Glad to have you back brother. I think Walter and I were on the edge of doing something similar to what you did. haha

I'm not about to make excuses for this team, but it is composed of some great kids. Don't give up on them. I think they will surprise you.

I feel like I'm like a lot of people on this board -- I rushed Stonehenge after both the UCLA victories... in 2006 AND 2007, and will rush it the next time I'm on campus for a huge win, which will be sooner rather than later. I love ND with all of my heart. Win or lose, I'll be behind these kids my entire life. We could go 0-12 and I'd still be out there rooting for these guys.

We stand for all that is still right in college football and WE WILL WIN without all the flashiness, dishonesty and lack of morals that other teams use as a quick fix to win championships. It's what makes everyone love us or hate us, both with a passion.

That said, Welcome back!

PS - Statistically we're due for a good season. If this one goes South, I'm banking on 2013.
Have some faith, it comes with the territory

 

[NDinFL]

Welcome back "el duderino"

[Who'saWildManNow]

[HereComeTheIrish]

That's convenient because I just made a bet tonight with a girl I go to law school with that ND would win more games than Michigan by years end. Loser has to wear the winning school's gear to class for a week.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

You did a good thing for yourself. We love this team, but a loss should not ruin a day (and the day of everyone around us). It's just not that important.

FWIW, my come to Jesus moment involved Tate Forcier...

Welcome back.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

HEY, dont call me dude, Dude!

 

[beryirish]

Welcome back dude! I'm jealous of that picture. Looks like an awesome time. I'm still gonna kick your *** in bowling.

Pffft, should have made it that the loser has to come to class topless

 

[GreatGolson]

well i guess we found out the reason we were losing. GO BACK TO THE MOUNTAINS! just kidding brah, welcome back

 

[Old Man Mike]

There has always been some stage in every season that, for mental health reasons I have to tape the games and not watch them live, or my cns goes crazy. I can relate. Sitting in Nature is the healer.

 

[tko]

this aggression will not stand, man.
