There's actually some wisdom in that.

i think he is saying that ND vs Michigan is more like yankees vs sox. its a big rivalry and will bring more ratings then the sec matchups...

I think it has more to do with ESPN paying big $$$ to actually show a ND game and it being the first Michigan night home game ever. If the game was on NBC, and not ESPN, they'd probably be in Happy Valley for the SEC/BigX matchup.

Generally speaking this is completely true. What pisses people off about Notre Dame is they're completely medicore and always have been but have always received more coverage (and will continue to see more coverage) than some Top 10 programs and local programs for no reason.

Well, I guess they're a Catholic School, and the Catholics, generally speaking, have the most the money (thanks to us taxpayers), so there IS a reason. Apparently the Church provides a more important service to the public than anyone else (like food, shelter and clothing providers), so they deserve tax exempt status over less important institutions. And we, in exchange, get to hear about Notre Dame over a myraid of more deserving programs til the End Of Time.

I used to root for ND back in the day but they've become so over-hyped and their noses are so far in the air that I just can't stand them anymore...

Talk about a team that gets way too much undeserved attention. They haven't really been worth a **** in 10 years.

**** ND!
Its been a lot of fun watching them SUCK! the 20 years

Hail, Hail to old Notre Dame
You win the game, but we get the fame

wait until they are actually any good


even more bandwagon fugtards will be jumping on board and the media will be going crazy.

I'm tired of both Notre Dame and Michigan. Every year it's supposed to be their "start of a new era" or "return to glory" blah blah blah...

Look....I've been an Irish fan since I was a little kid. I can understand why people hate our team though. We haven't done anything in a long time and we're always on TV. I get it....it's the same reason that I hate the Yankees.

It's not like I like all of the preseason hype that they get. I know damn well that it's just raising all of the fan's expectations and they'll be in for a rude awakening. Shit....I called the loss to USF before the game.

But the OP can't be upset because there is one article on the front page of a website. Big ****ing deal. They were talking about the loss.....you can't expect Notre Dame to just be completely ignored in the media.

The Yankees haven't won anything in a long time?

Is ND out of the BCS championship already again?

The Yankees deserve a good portion of the publicity they get since at least they yield competitive teams. The same can't be said about ND.

Alabama and Penn St get far more coverage than the wolves or senators. They just don't get as much as Notre dame because they're regional teams where Notre dame has a more national fanbase
