I’ve been pissed at Notre Dame ever since that day when I was watching the teevee and ironing my only decent pair of pants in preparation for a Really Big Date, and Bob Gladieux broke free for a long run against Southern Cal, and I was so horrified by the scene I froze up and stopped moving the iron and burned a perfect iron base into my only decent pair of pants and I had to hustle out and spend precious bucks on a new pair of decent pants, which from then on were known as the Bob Gladieux Memorial Pants. The Big Date was a bust and I didn’t get laid and to this day I blame Bob Gladieux.

Hating Notre Dame is like belonging to the Ulster Union, you are born into it.
When I was a teen, I had some success as a football player at a Catholic HS(1969) no less(maybe the 6′6” 265LB thing helped, who knows). I had a short list of schools that I saw myself playing for, ND included. That is until I got a visit from the Irish “recruiter”. The arrogance of this guy was shocking. He gave me a list of “must have” attributes, or don’t even express interest in ND. I mentioned that many schools were expressing interest in me more than the reverse, to which he replied: yah, but they aren’t ND now are they.
Looking back, there are some similarities in the hubris and heavy-handedness of the Golden Domers back then and bushco today. I sincerely hope that we as a country do not have to parallel all the way to a Weis era.

There hasn’t been laundry service for the guys at ND since the laundry burned down in the 80’s. I went there in starting in ‘72 when ND went co-ed. We envied the women because they had washers and dryers and we had to use the crappy laundry service that was stuck in the 50’s, starched jeans anyone.

I’m calling on Bill Donohue to denounce you all for your anti-Catholic bigotry!

At least I would be, if I didn’t hate Notre Dame too. A friend of mine wrote them a scathing letter when she applied there back in the 80s and found out that they provided the guys with laundry service but didn’t even offer it to the girls. Probably they’ve changed since then, but I don’t care enough to find out.

After watching the J.Lee Curtis ads without the sound, I got the impression that it was (The Yogurt That Makes You Horny) or maybe (The Yogurt That Cures a Yeast Infection).

That was in response to a comment up thread, “We know what Steve Gilliard would say.” And since they are the “Irish” of ND…

Um, I guess the only way I can relate to this post is to say I feel the same about the Trojans at USC. And the Dodgers.

That ND hasn’t won a bowl game since 1994 proves that they don’t belong there.

A friend is a Penn State grad, and his wife recently asked him what gave him more pleasure, a PSU win or ND loss. He had a hard time deciding.
