[Spit] That's pretty funny.

Someone brought this up on my Texas Tech board out of all places and how true it is:
Quote:
All of the reasons I have ever heard are absurd:

(1) They have a Catholic following. (So what? I'm a Baptist, and, although I am a Texas Tech fanatic, I also kinda like Baylor and Hardin-Simmons; WHO CARES?)

(2) They negotiated their own TV contract. (So what? More power to them! If we could do it at Tech, I'd love it! Blame NBC, not ND.)

(3) They get special treatment from the BCS under their special arrangement. (So what? Blame the BCS, not ND.)

(4) They get slaps on the hand for any NCAA violations. (Blame the NCAA, not ND.)

(5) They milk the laurels of their storied history. (SO WHAT??!!! They'd be foolish not to.)

etc. etc. etc.

Most of the so-called "reasons" I've ever heard for people hating Notre Dame boil down to just one word: JEALOUSY.

I like Notre Dame just fine; they are an integral part of college football traditon, and I admire who and what they are.
[ThumbsUp]
