The Delusional, Irrational Notre Dame Football Fan

As most of you know, I go to school in Irish country...however, I am a Boilermaker. Now, I know Purdue football isn't the greatest...but neither is Notre Dame football. The difference here is that most Purdue fans [though still loyal] will admit that their team has room for improvement, but Notre Dame fans will rant and rave as though their team was perfect. It is quite humorous to me.

I found this little "blurb" on such Notre Dame fans:

Season after season, year after year, you try to justify your absurdly high pre-season ranking.

You scramble to make futile attempts at damage control when the Irish lose to yet another grossly inferior opponent.

Inevitably, you'll bring up the past, and boast of championships won 20 years before you were born.

You will point out that you have more heisman winners than any other program, as though that is relevant to the current season.

Go on, ignore that home loss to Boston College in the regular season for the 6th consecutive time in a row...

And continue to believe that you'll actually win a bowl game some time this century.

Oh Emperor of Excuses, take comfort knowing that when you don't finish in the top 25, you'll be back to number 3 when the pre-season polls come out next year.


All that to put us in the spirit for tomorrow - Purdue vs. Notre Dame
