Perhaps Notre Dame fans away from South Bend are everything that people here say they are. I have a close friend in Notre Dame that is not, another who is. But, I can tell you I have met more than a hundred away from South Bend who are everything described here.
Congratulations to Notre Dame for a bowl win.
Rest assured the "sports entertainment" folks will forget that a 7-6 Hawaii team, that ranked below #80 in the Sagarin's, was beaten by a #57 ranked Irish team. Instead, by the start of next year, the ESPiN's of the world will be telling us that "Notre Dame is back" once again. And, once again, Notre Dame will enter the season ranked in the top 25.
In response to that perceived good fortune, Notre Dame fans everywhere will be telling us all about those wonderful stories from more than half a century ago about a storied program that once mattered in college football but really matters no more.
For many of us, we will see the truth in what you say and, for that, surely you deserve some condolences. This win will just make it harder to fire Weis next year. It will prolong the agony and further destroy the Notre Dame brand. Personally, I don't think that is good for Midwestern teams in general.
Nice post!! There is truth in everything you said.
