A story book season.

Now to take on....Georgia! Yes I said Georgia! Called them to beat Bama to go to the Title game so lets see what happens..

[LastWarrior]

A story book season.

Gonna end with a beat down from the SEC champ!

[Jay Bee]

I realize this means MU's AD is a happy guy about *his school*, but this is SUPERBAR material, guy.

ROLL TIDE!

[MUfan12]

A story book season.

One book I'm fine with them burning.

Eff the Irish. 

Refs handed them three games.  Gotta be blind to miss that.

Burn baby burn!

Go $EC!!!!!!!!!!!! F the Irish and the 4 Horsemen they rode in on!

[unforgiven]

Who the Eff are the Irish?

[jsglow]

I guess I'll be the only one on here cheering for them in the national championship game. I have friends and children of friends that went there and have gone on to be successful, outstanding folks.  I could give a rat's a** about Georgia or Alabama.  Good luck Irish!

And I'll expect LW to have his Irish football jersey on that day. I can picture him absolutely driving his wife nuts during the game.  Those are his teammates for God's sake.  And if they happen to win, man up and congratulate him next time you see him.

[GGGG]

I hate Alabama.  I hate ND more.  Go Bama.

You're not alone. My dad gave me an ND pennant when I was 5 and started going to games soon after (I know, child abuse!). Really like this year's team.

[tower912]

Really torn.   I enjoyed watching them get humbled for all of those years, but I found myself rooting for them last night.    Probably, the more their fans start babbling, the more I will be rooting for whoever plays them.

[nyg]

I rooted for them also, but the only reason was to see how they do against probably Bama.  Two great defenses will result in a great game.

You're not alone, my wife went to ND so I'll be pulling for the Irish in the national championship. Plus I'm sick of the SEC recent dominance.

[MU B2002]

If Bama can even get past Gurshall and the Dawgs.

Grew up Irish Catholic in Chicago. There was only one College football team to root for as far as my family was concerned.  Went to Marquette and learned to hate Digger and ND basketball. Am now the proud father of two ND grads.  Biggest mistake was not getting them up to see Marquette basketball games when they were in grade school and early high school. The scholarship offers from Marquette would have saved me a lot of money! LOL

The key is to get your kids interested in majors that ND doesn't offer.  That was our strategy. 

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Roll Tide. I will be the biggest Bama or Georgia fan come national championship time. I cant bear see ND winning anything let alone a natty.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Torn as well.   Chicago Irish Catholic blah blah...went to MU, learned to hate 'em (0-6 will do that to you).  Kept hating, until kids went to ND sports camp (would have been nice if MU had overnight camps...).  Son in particular fell under the influence, and is likely to go there (though he threw me and MrsLegs a bone and applied to MU as well).

We had a serious discussion about this when he was around 10 or 11 as I could see this developing, he told me that he would go to ND if he was a football player,  but promised that if he was a basketball player, he would go to Marquette.  Turns out he's a mathlete, do I don't know what that means.

Maybe Fr Naus  can exorcise that demon from Lloyd jr.

Eff the Irish.  

There were some questionable calls in other games (namely Stanford) but the horrid pass interference call on 4th down against Pitt gave ND that win (the refs ignoring two #2 on the field didn't help either).

Also grew up a good Catholic boy in Chicagoland which made me an ND fan by default. It was actually my top choice for college...and then I took two visits there and absolutely HATED it. Just about everyone I met, from students to admins to faculty, fit the pretentious ND stereotype to a T. I didn't even open my acceptance letter.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Hate the Irish, but hate the SEC even more.  This will be one of the rare times I cheer for Notre Dame.  Not sure how they ended up undefeated, the Luck of the Irish certainly came to play this year.  Besides, I'd rather have a university that at least attempts to do it the right way (yes, they fail at times) than some of the nonsense in the SEC.

[tower912]

Merritsmustache, we must have met the same people on our campus visit.   I knew I would never go there an hour into my visit.    Same thing at Michigan.
