Should be a 1 credit class in fact.

...required for graduation.   (And for all new athletic department personnel)

Ripping on ND is part of the Marquette experience as far as I am concerned.   

I'm well aware of it.   That story the other day about Big East fans compared to the Simpsons.  I guess the ones that I hang out with are akin to the article, the nice, Ned Flanders type.  The ones that respect the game, respect the opponent, don't take dumps on former players that transfer or coaches that leave. 

Others choose a different path.  I prefer not to if I can help it.

Norm,

Lighten up....I mean that respectfully.  I appreciate your position based on family history.

I grew up in South Bend.  Went to almost every home football, basketball and hockey game growing up.  Back in the 60's and 70's, it was actually more of a middle class/working class school.  Knew lots of the faculty and many students.  Heck, I was even baptised in Sacred Heart.  

The school has changed.  In my opinion, based on my experiences, ND alum are a lot more arrogant than they were back in the day.  You are weclome to disagree with me based on your experience.  The reason why ND gets so much crap on this board is because they are a long standing rival (just like DePaul), but also bring a touch of arrogance that results in the giggging they get from our fans.  AL said it best, an ND grad will pick his nose just to show you his class ring.  Also, let me know if you want any details on Digger's reputation while he was a resident of SouthBend

Besides, its just plain fun to pick on the Golden Domers.

Norm...all the best.

ND sucks.  Did I mention, ND sucks?  

real chili 83,

I get what you're saying. ND did used to be more middle class back in the 60's and 70's, but my guess is the same thing can be said about MU, since the tuition at both schools nowadays has priced middle-to-lower middle class kids out unless they get a large scholarship.

I have no problem with people ragging on ND since they are a rival. Digger, Tripuka, Ellis, Gody, Cooley, players and coaches - all fair game. Heck, I never root for them in basketball. I jut get tired of all the people on MUScoop who constantly claim that everyone they know from ND is an arrogant a-hole, that nobody from ND is has any humility, etc... It just gets old to me after awhile.

You're in a room with 500 people.

How do you know which one is the Notre Dame grad?

Wait 5 minutes.

He'll come up and tell you.
