You know how your Grandfather would trap you at a family gathering and just start rambling incoherent nonsense for 20 minutes, but you couldn't stop him so you had to just stand there and nod through it? That's what this article is.

Here's a hard candy, Tex - kick rocks.

Will Notre Dame ever give up their independence? I believe they will and must join a conference. Why? First, the Irish will find it difficult, if not impossible, to win a national football championship without conference affiliation.

Didn't Notre Dame play for the BCS championship this year?

Bingo....they will stay right where they are and never be a part of a conference in total. They are the ACC's fck buddy.
 
wow at this thread.
just b/c a school resides in a "big" city or "big" tv market, doesn't mean they draw viewers. what does navy have to do with the "huge" (really?) baltimore/dc market? they have a major following?
and temple/navy/uconn/cincy bring large tv audiences?

They are named after a church in France!!!! What the **** does Irish have to do with a church in France!! They should be called the fighting Fleur De Elisse!!!

But I'll still dance a jig, drink a pint and have a shot of whiskey for dear ole st. pat, oh danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling

Might have something to do with them being a Catholic school. Ireland along with Poland, historically are two of the most ardently Catholic nations. It can be debated that without either Western Civ. would not have developed the way it did.

As for being named after a church in France, that church along with all the other church's named Notre Dame and the University are named after Mary, the mother of Jesus, "Our Lady." I'm guessing "Notre Dame" was picked over "Mater Dei."

In 2014 ND will add 6 ACC games to their schedule. I'm hoping we are a fixture in their schedule as I absolutely detest ND.
Can't stand them.

I know what Notre Dame stands for, I too went to CCD and confirmation, and going by your first statement then should they not have been nicknamed the "Fighting Poles"? or since the Latinos make up the largest percentage of the 1.2 billion Catholics, the "Fighting Latins" or "Fighting Sombreros"? And I can ask that because I come from Latin very Catholic parents.

It was a joke, but seriously I detest ND!

They should just change the name to the "Over-hyped Hypocrites"

X was good. He went hard when he had to, was thoughtful and from time-to-time went full ******* ******. He could save this site.

Agree with this, X was tough to read at the end of the year, but he's a solid poster and would be a welcome addition to the board. Tex just links **** that Problem2 was already doing.
