I hate Notre Dame

[tonyreeder]

Stuart Scott.  Chris Berman doing baseball.  Oprah.  Jay Leno (Letterman has more wit in his left testicle than that hack), Scottie Pippen (does anyone remember that he quit on this team?-Top 50 player my butt),  Mark McGwire (hate him far worse than Bonds, at least Bonds makes no attempt not to be an a##),  John Elway, Duke basketball, ND football, MFYankees,  The NBA in general,  Phil Mickelson-I relish Tiger dominating that preppy punk,  Soccer, Tony LaRussa,  Tommy Lasorda, Billy Packer---would definitely echo the Renee Zellweger comment- annoying squinty eyed bleep,   people who constantly quote Seinfeld--show's been over for years and was overrated to begin with

I like this.. I correct him and rocky gets the blame.. nice! 

you can TRY to ban me but I have access to the underlying source code and database 

See this is why I'm going to add IT nerds to my list....just shady people  8)

Plus there is an IT guy at work that went to Marquette yet for some reason plays basketball in Cincy shorts!!!!!  I mean come on, you SUCK!!!


I think this is the healthiest thing I have participated in all day.

*hates people who refer to SW engineers as IT anything...*  Not an IT guy - just an embedded sw engineer.  There, now our hate relationship is mutual 

Speaking of which, I hate people who hate so many categories that they end up hating practically everyone... hrm.. guess I now fall into that too.. god how will I live with myself?

I hate how the Chicago media treats Notre Dame like the "home" team.  The school's in INDIANA!  What about the in-state schools?  Heck, Marquette is closer to Chicago than ND.

This is why I love this board.  People don't (usually) take themselves too seriously.

My nephew is in his second year at Notre Dame despite my feeding him the truth for 18 years as to the inherent superiority of Marquette in all spheres. So much for my future as a lobbyist.

Congrats to everyone on making this the most replied to topic in MUScoop history!

Wow, what a fantastic thread...

I started simply hating Notre Dame because my father "convinced" me to apply there with me knowing full well I wasn't getting in there despite going to a very good Catholic high school in NJ and carrying a letter of recommendation from a ND alum who was also my theology professor.

In the application was a question "How would you talk to a rock?" and that just set me off even further. I thought it was the biggest waste of $50 (I applied in 1990), and this was confirmed by ND being the only school that outright rejected me.

Then I went to Marquette and was amazed at all the Irish football fans, and that ratcheted my hatred up a few notches. I was never a college football fan, but I didn't get it. The NBC deal irked me some, too.

Then came that home loss when I was a junior and there was something about John McLeod in the post-game press conference that made my blood boil. When I went there for our game senior year, I took a leak outside the football stadium in the pure white snow on principle.

But my hatred of everything ND hit the "irrational and never to be the same again" after I dated a woman whose father was an alum and the MOST ANNOYING Irish football backer I had ever come across. You would've thought Christ was playing QB the way he talked this team up. Every time they lost, I would call my friend up (who was dating this woman's twin sister at the same time and eventually married her) and tell him, "Go call up Joe and ask him what the final was!!" or "Where's that National title now? Oh wait, you lost to Northwestern!!"

I have told many people that if, God willing, Notre Dame went 0-12 in football or 0-whatever in basketball for ONE SEASON, I would never carry so much venom towards that school again. Luckily, that has yet to happen.  

The home game last year was a birthday present because I sat front row and probably jumped as high as I ever did in my life when Novak hit that jumper from the corner. I proudly wore my index finger/middle finger shirt that night and will do so again when they play this season at the Joyce. I hate that school and all the elitist crap it stands for.

But to round out a Top 10, it would include...

1a. The People's Republic of Madison. It's one thing to hate the Badgers basketball team, which I do with respect. But to be hopelessly liberal is just no way to go through life.

2. Yankees fans. They think an AL title is a birthright, and every year, it's always fun to watch my co-workers be absolutely miserable for the two weeks after they get bounced in the ALDS.

3. Cubs fans. Lovable losers my ass. Stop drinking and start caring about the team.

4. Reverend DiUilio... for UNILATERALLY changing the nickname. Him and his damn sweaters.

5. Pitt... I like the fact it's a new rivalry. I dislike the fact their fans think their s--- don't stink.

6. I know this may be a group lumping, but I have never seen a city on the verge of implosion like Chicago with the Super Bowl should the Bears lose. Your team went THIRTEEN and THREE, not the other way around. Enjoy it.

7. Whichever night football team has Tirico, Theisman and Kornheiser, who is a great writer but has no business being in the booth. It's like listening to "Ask Dr. Stupid" from Ren and Stimpy when Kornheiser tweaks Theisman, who's another ND knob polisher.

8. Pizzamakers in Kenosha who cut pizza into squares. Who thought of this and WHY is it allowed? It ruins the fact that there is good pizza from seemingly everywhere I order.

9. Illinois drivers... you people are f'n nuts on the Tollway, to the point the person behind me can read my VIN he's so far up my tailpipe. High-beaming me when I do 80 makes me more inclined to slam the brakes so I can win a lawsuit.

10... And finally, Notre Dame... I told you I was irrational.  

[jmayer1]

I got into quite a few schools, including Notre Dame and Wisconsin, and it pisses me off when either of those schools say that kids that go to Marquette only hate Notre Dame or Wisconsin because they didn't get in.  However, and I'm sure I'm going to get ripped on like crazy for this, but some of the posts on this board back up what some of those pricks are saying.

For the record I went to Marquette and I obviously cheer for them before anyone else, but I am a fan of Notre Dame football (I hate their basketball team) because they were good when I was growing up and my older brother liked them (my dad was indifferent).  I also cheer for Wiscy FB and Wiscy BB (a distant, distant, distant 2nd to Marquette, in fact one of my favorite things ever was getting hammered and ripping on Wiscy fans after we beat them my sophomore and senior seasons).  Just thought I would get that off my chetst.

45) the complete and utter lack of a good pizza puff in WI

When we went to ND for a campus visit after my son was accepted there, we met with a stuck up prick of an admission counselor.
Not knowing that blue and gold flowed in my sons veins he proceeded to slam MU telling him "I am sure MU is giving you everything to go there, they'd even send a limo to your house."
He then proceeded to slam my son basically stating "you aren't special here at ND, you are just an average person we grant acceptance to."  "We don't give merit scholarships because everyone here deserves them"

That sealed the deal for me and luckily my son made the right choice.
I love the question on the admission form "Do you have any relatives with buildings named after them?"

[Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup]

I still remember the question on the Marquette application when I applied.

"If you could take a cross-country roadtrip with anyone, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?"

Had that been on ND's application you'd probably get loads of assholes saying "Oh, I'd want to go with my grandfather Mick O'McDoyle, for whom your nice O'McDoyle hall is named for because....blah blah blah." or some world leader "whose teachings I try to follow." BS.

I on the other hand answered that I'd want to go with Snoopy, because as a cartoon character, he'd be a 2-dimensional figure in real life, kind of like a cardboard cutout, and this would free up some cargo space (cooler?) plus he's a very philosophical dog. We could all learn a lot.
