I cant remember a time where i have seen so many ND fans out in public...there every where
No problems with my thought process.. I know what tradition is and I respect theirs. The "lately" is all the kids care about today (not that I agree with that).
but here are the facts:
Winningest Teams in NCAA:
1. Michigan: 888-306-38
2. Texas: 853-326-34
3. Notre Dame: 845-296-42
4. Nebraska: 836-345-41
5. Ohio State: 825-315-53
6. Alabama: 825-317-43
7. Penn State 821-355-43
8. Oklahoma: 806-308-53
9. Tennessee: 788-340-55
Yes they are ahead of us....but to put us in the light we have been placed in is just not fair. Top ten isnt second rate by any stretch.
They have not been relevant in a long while! This is all band wagon hype.
We both have great tradition.
They are able to be out of a conference because of the media preference they enjoy. They attain rankings by AP faster. They are nearly guaranteed a better bowl than evenly matched teams because of their name.
I love tradition.
But the media sucks bottom line....ND gets an unfair advantage and reap rewards because of it.
No more posts from me on this one....I am a scientist. I have done my homework and still hate them!
Your numbers are old. Here are the records from the beginning of this year....UT now has 799 wins.
1 Michigan 0.73570 895 310 36 1241
2 Texas 0.71622 858 330 33 1221
3 Notre Dame 0.73138 853 300 42 1195
4 Nebraska 0.70121 846 349 40 1235
5 Ohio State 0.71315 825 316 53 1194
6 Oklahoma 0.71761 821 307 53 1181
7 Alabama 0.70986 814 320 43 1177
8 Tennessee 0.68719 794 347 53 1194
9 Southern Cal 0.70270 779 314 54 1147
10 Georgia 0.64446 747 400 54 1201
Exactly. No one who calls himself a Vol should EVER under any circumstance root for bammer.

I hate ND but I hate Bama more. We don't have Irish trolls on here constantly talking smack. I will be rooting against gators and tide..oh and vandy. Hope the SEC goes 6-3 this bowl season.
Oh lighten up with the whining there, Cletus. What's with all the butthurt Sallies crying about nothing today?No reason for them to be here. Why would they?
On ESPN conversation boards, they are classless garbage and anything but godly.
Reasons I can't stand the domers:
1. I have to look at them every week on NBC (even when they were like 1-9. One of their posters told me once that the reason they get preferential treatment is because they are Americas team and that they deserve it(. Hate that.
2. Won't join a decent league (or any league). Same guy told me that they want all the revenue for themselves instead of sharing with a league. Hate that.
3. Lou Holtz slobbering, spitting and stuttering about how good they are every single time he is on. Hate that.
4. Their constant coddling gives them an unfair recruiting edge. Hate that.
But that's what you're missing. You have it backwards. It's not the media hype that gets them all of the attention; it's their tradition. Their tradition is what gives them the recruiting edge and the media attention, not the other way around.
