This is a response to a thread about McGlinchey over at NDNation. Now we can criticize play calling for a lot of reasons, but to claim ND ran none of those in the 2017 season, and you get why everyone else in the Notre Dame fandom world laugh at these guys.
The constantly confuse smug self-assurance and an echo-chamber effect with knowledge and/or insight. It's like a psychology experiment about group think.
And after the Swarbrick vendetta, they aren't even laughable anymore.
My 3 favorite parts of NDNation:
1) It is basically formatted like Twitter. All these ND guys who are apparently too good for everything on Earth spend all day on retro-Twitter. Funny.
2) Its an internet football forum. Being a regular on a internet football forum is fun, but its also extremely lame. The amount of chest-puffing and self-aggrandizing posts I've read from a bunch of guys who spend that much time on the internet is pretty clueless. Again, funny.
3) They read other boards and then report back on them like they're famous or important or something. Really they are just so outrageous and mean-spirited in contrast with the rest of NDNation that they stick out. Silly.
But one thing I do actually like about that board is the incredible environment it creates for the occasional poster who does not tow the party line. It is basically the easiest trolling on Earth. Everyone freaks out if anyone diverges on any of their sacred cows. That has to be fun.
