Emotional exhaustion on ND board

I laughed my arse off. I haven't posted in recent memory, but had to share this one.

Rick Reilly pretty much nails it..and I heard Golic was [censored]ed.

Demoting Notre Dame

http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8264769/notre-dame-irish-relegated-insignificance

"Notre Dame, the original cult."

Brian Kelly has said on more than one occasion that dressing the leprechaun is the favorite part of his job.

I always thought it was a euphemism.

That almost made me feel sorry for ND fans. Almost, but not.

 

[MaxBuck]

With respect to Notre Dame's revenue model (getting paid not to go to a bowl seems really analogous to crop-support payments), it's really hard to blame the Domers. Nobody has a gun to anyone's head forcing them to pay ND.

Great negotiating by the Catholic university, is all I can say.

What's the fuss about? A lot of High Schools are nicknamed the Irish. Which one is this?

If you are going to go out in public dressed like that you had better win, and win big. So big that no one would dare make fun of you.

It is the uniform sartorial equivalent of naming your son Sue.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish CB Lo Wood (Achilles) likely finished for season, sources say - ESPN

Notre Dame's already thin group of cornerbacks took a big hit Monday, as projected starter Lo Wood went down with what is likely season-ending Achilles injury, a source confirmed to ESPN.com.

The detachment I'm increasingly experiencing has been a decade-long process, with some notable inflection points. But in the last year, between Freakbass and Ozzy (aye-aye-aye!) and the MD game uniforms and now this abomination, it's just becoming wholly intolerable.

It's almost like the sensibilities of some low-rent simpleton took over Notre Dame football.

:cheers:

Golic on the article:

The part Golic doesn't get is that Reilly doesn't blame ND. Quite a strawman by Mike, but I wouldn't expect him to grasp that.

And Reilly's response:

Golic is the reason I stopped listening to that god awful morning show. And of course Greenburg just sits there like a fucking idiot.

I haven't watched nor listened to the show in years aside from his strawman argument in the video. I just posted this in case others wanted to see it.

So I head out to the mailbox today and to my surprise I've received someone's copy of "Irish Tradition". It's a catalog of crap for idiots.

www.ndcatalog.com

On the back cover I was amazed to find that for around 200 greenbacks (18" x 24") or for just 75 dollars more (24" x 36") you can have this piece of shit hanging in your house.


I don't even think ORD could shop this without it ending up looking too professional.

This is an old one (i.e. posted years ago); but it is still true....

Notre Dame football commentary: Sink-or-swim year awaits Kelly, Irish

By AL LESAR
South Bend Tribune Staff Writer

Al has the season mapped out for the Irish...some of the funnier lines in his article.

* Sept. 8: Notre Dame 27, Purdue 21: The Boilermakers are better, but Danny Hope's still calling the shots. Advantage Irish.

Michigan State's defense will leave Golson shaking his head and soaking his aching body.

On top of being 2-2 heading into the off week, there's a quarterback controversy ? again.

* Oct. 27: Oklahoma 38, Notre Dame 20: This one has bad written all over it. One week after stomping all over Charlie Weis and his Jayhawks, the Sooners get their shot at the Irish. Too much hype for this one. This blowout is a season-changer for the Irish. Now 4-4, with the worst of the meat grinder in the rear-view mirror, goals and priorities must be re-evaluated. In other words ...

* Nov. 3: Notre Dame 33, Pittsburgh 17: ...Welcome to college football, Gunner. Four losses and plenty of frustration into the season, Kelly makes the move to Gunner Kiel at quarterback.

. Matt Barkley wins the Heisman Trophy after a field day against the Irish secondary.

* Bowl game: Please, God, anywhere but Shreveport.

Not a lot of confidence coming out of SB..Even the few fans I deal with aren't looking forward to anything past their trip to Ireland this season.

 

[Taosman]

The make or break year for Kelly with arguably the toughest schedule in college football. Yikes!

SOUTH BEND, IND. (AP)
Notre Dame has suspended starting tailback Cierre Wood two games for violating team rules.

It doesn't seem to be getting easier for them.
