Notre Dame (football only discussion)

I’ve been in Tallahassee for a game against UF, specifically the one where Tebow got angry because the Tallahassee fans cheered when Percy Harvin appeared to go down with an injury (having been there… that is exactly why they were cheering)

I was there for other games as well… my opinion is that the choice for “atmosphere” is the biggest joke on there

The whole thing is a joke. Nobody is going to look at that and say, "Yeah - all of these choices were great. Spot on. You go, Girl!!" 99% of fans might agree with the head coach. Fine. But who gives a fuckity fuck about the other categories? And even if someone cares, no one is say, "C'mon, Indiana, step up your game - your fight song will never be better than M*ch*gan's at this rate!"

Back to your last sentence, though, I think the biggest joke is "color scheme".

Gangs like that color scheme. At least that's what I assume given how our local school district doesn't allow college gear from Miami, UNC, and UNLV. There might be a couple more, but those are the ones I recall.
Could also be the letters.

Sometimes gangs wear certain team paraphernalia due to the letters.

For example, the Hoovers in LA wear a lot of Astros hats because of the “H”

Was talking with a Domer in foursome today. Asked him what the scuttlebutt was about ACC imploding, and whether ND would/could stay independent. He responded why would they not, when they get all the money they need from NBC now. Last I recollect, they get about $75 million (and don't share with ACC), versus the $100 million tOSU gets (after the league wets their beak). Tried to bait him by saying FSU is trying for a B10 spot, but asked why would we want them? FSU doesn't qualify academically, and why would the B10 want to dilute per school share just to put a stakehold in Florida? He didn't bite....

Some guy named Greg Swaim (who may or may not be even less credible than Sir Yacht) says the B1G wants Notre Dame and Texas A&M.

Notre Dame not asking Big Ten to include Stanford in conference realignment​

Notre Dame reportedly wants in on the Big Ten, but according to longtime college football radio host Greg Swaim, the Fighting Irish have no concerns about whether or not the B1G would add Stanford as well.

"Yes, Notre Dame is talking to the B1G about the future, but the Irish are absolutely, positively NOT asking the B10 to include Stanford," Swaim wrote.

As Swaim previously reported, several Big Ten schools, including Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington all "desperately want" Notre Dame and Texas A&M in the conference.

"Checked once again this morning to see if there have been any changes to the B1G schools, regarding their interest in adding quality football schools who aren't AAU accredited," Swaim prefaced before saying, "The answer is still the same...sorry FSU and Clemson fans, but it'll be the SEC. If you have the time, call the B1G schools yourselves...or their main sports coverage reporters...they'll tell you the same thing, that to most B10 Presidents AAU definitely does matter.

"It may be stupid to hardcore college football fans, but it is what it is. However, I still hear from several that the Buckeyes, (Michigan), PSU and the four incoming Pac-12 schools desperately want TAMU and of course Notre Dame."

Just sayin': If you believe this ↑, it is probably reasonable to think that nothing will happen until the conference's current TV contracts run out, i.e. 2030 for the B1G and 2034 for the SEC. Oregon and Washington wanted in the B1G so bad that they accepted (basically) a half share of what the other B1G schools are getting for the duration of the B1G's current TV contract. I seriously doubt Notre Dame would join the B1G for anything less than an immediate full share.

"The B1G TV deal runs through 2030, so they may not add anyone until then," Swaim wrote. "The SEC deal runs through 2034, so may even be longer until they add. The Big 12 TV deal has an escalator clause, so while making roughly the same as the ACC now, each year the Big 12 TV revenue will continue to increase, while the ACC will be stagnant for nine years, as they fall very far behind.
