Notre Dame is Going to the ‘Ship
When the 2012 college football schedule was announced, everyone looked at Notre Dame at USC and assumed that game would send the No. 1 team in the country to the national championship. And they were right. Only it was the team no one expected. A goal line stand that saw Southern Cal get NINE plays of goal-to-go and FIVE cracks at the end zone from inside the 2 seals the deal. And the the team of George Gipp, Rudy and Montana Mazurkiewicz beat the team of Reggie Bush’s vacated Heisman and OJ Simpson. Now a year that started on a soccer pitch in Dublin will end in Miami against whatever football factory school manages to survive in the SEC. But the Irish don’t have to worry about popularity contests or computers or the electoral college in the swing states or any such nonsense because they got it done the old fashioned way: On the field, the way God intended. From unranked to undefeated.
@JerryThornton1
Jerry you sure you are not talking about the pats? that seems like some serious man love, whoever comes out of the SEC championship game is favored and wins by at least 10. Its like jets pats
Thank god no all-SEC title game.
even if georgia won i do not seem them jumping oregon
Gold Jerry, GOLD!
the punter for ND looked just like neil on that last punt of the game…fucking squid
You’re outta your element rayallensmom.
send out the smoke patrol for these live lookins on sportscenter to south bend
I would bother correcting rayallensmom, but what’s the point?
Nick Saban playing the Irish in the Orange Bowl for the ‘Ship has to be Miami’s worst nightmare that doesn’t involve LeBron James’ ACL.
this just in: Notre Dame changes the name of it’s sports teams from the “Fighting Irish” to the “Tigers”; Boston area fans completely lose interest. More at 11.
Alabama 34, ND 3
remember when pres didn’t know what ‘going to the ship’ meant? those were the days
I hope Alabama beats them by 50
The moaning and groaning coming from ND fans after they get bounced in the BCS title game is going to be historic.
@ilovebarstoolsports: The sad thing is that your post is spot-on. That’s exactly what would happen.
this just in ilovebarstoolsports is in fact jealous of boston
@harryjohnson the sad thing is you dont know shit about shit and you should probably shut the fuck up
@ilovebarstool, wait Boston has bandwagon, pinkhat fans that root for teams absent any logical reason for supporting them?? Damn, interesting premise, can you elaborate more on that. Maybe on the 11 PM broadcast? You can probably go back to bed now, your daily contribution to society has been fulfilled.
Bravo Jerry you managed to put two of the things I hate in one post together: Notre Dame Football and Ronald Reagan
whatever football factory school manages to survive in the SEC……..Coming from the guy that watched 3 days of urine tests during the combine, your hypocrisy is laughable
i fucking hate people who cheer for college teams they have no connection with
@johnnymanchuk, so if you live in New England and went to school in New England, you’re pretty much fucked in terms of being a fan of college football? Either root for that atrocity in Chestnut Hill or move?
Well said, Jerry. Bring a lot of sunscreen.
gunner_kiel shut up bitch, go root for your racist school thats goin to fail at winning a championship that dont matter for shit, boston full of bitches but u ND fuckboys got ur polos on to tight, bunch a trust fund frat rap listening to mothafuckas, college sports for hoes, how them pacers doin hoe? nah u a bitch bulls fan cause u seen a few lame ass d-rose commercials, little bitch dont get tears on ur polo.
what?

Mikeyda whatever, I’d like your comment if I had the slightest fucking idea what you just said.

Welcome to the Thunderdome Jerry. Hope you know what you just signed up for..Michigan certainly didn’t
Texas A&M did.
ND isn’t as good as Texas A&M. Don’t have near the talent on either side of the ball, Teio and that TE aside
You honestly believe that a defense that gave up 57 points to a 9-3 WAC team is as good as the defense you saw last night? TAMU has the Heisman favorite behind center and they still dropped two games (and it should’ve been 4 with LaTech and Ole Miss). And I wouldn’t count your SEC championship chickens quite yet, Aaron Murray is far and away the best QB your hillbilly team has played in the last two years..
First!
once ND loses by 30 all will be right with the world again
asshole617, i was born and raised in Boston. i’m not jealous of my own city. it was a commentary on how lame it is that some Boston irish people love ND simply because of their mascot and have no affiliation with ND, either academically or geographically. raise your hand before you talk to me, son.
Nothing in the world gives me as much joy as Notre Dame backer-on-Notre Dame hater crime.
Notre Dame just broke a record for biggest bandwagon in sports history. Pukeworthy.
honestly, jerry, it’s not ND that I hate. it’s the fans that have no reason to be fans. I root for the home team and the home team ONLY. Pats, Bruins, Celtics, and the Sox, in good times and bad. anything else is just plain disrespectful to the city that i call home. ps – always enjoy the Pats KJRs!
Notre Dame has Rudy, so..
if only droman were here to settle this for good.
Aaron Murray caves under pressure, which he will be under all game Saturday. Not worried about UGA, more so than ND, but not very much. It’s going to take another act of God and a Heisman QB playing the game of his life to beat Bama..neither of which ND has going for them. And the defense that just gave up 186 yards to a freshmen QB on his virgin run? I’m shaking.
britishteeth, if you weren’t joking, i AM tha_dro_man.
if you WERE joking, then that was pretty funny.
i don’t know though, at the end of the day, college football is butt-cheeks, NFL is so much better. i mean, it’s still awesome because it’s football, and any and all football is the greatest thing in the history of history. but i just can’t follow it religiously when there’s new players every year, takes all the fun out of it. i only watch because i’m a draft geek and a wannabe scout. this probably isn’t breaking news, but south carolina’s jadaveon clowney is going to be a MONSTER on sundays in a couple years.
why hate someone because they like a team that isn’t in their hometown (or where they went to school). If you only root for teams from your town you pretty much had no choice in the matter.
TeamOne, it’s called loyalty. you said it yourself, you have no choice in the matter. for example, i don’t even like baseball, but i root hard for the red sox because they represent me and my city. when people jump on some other team’s wagon, it never happens when they’re playing badly. i guarantee you that no one outside of Boston became a Red Sox fan out of nowhere this year. pulling for a front-running team that’s in no way related to you is for children. some people may argue “oh, well, my dad is a big _____ fan, so i became one too.” well sorry to say, your dad is most likely a fraud. i suppose i can give a special dispensation to guys like that IF AND ONLY IF their dad was a native of his team’s city or an alum of that school. but in burns my ass when i meet people with no affiliation being a die-hard. it probably shouldn’t, since it doesn’t really affect me, but it does. and i always meet generational versions of these guys. dudes in their 50s and 60s that are Steelers fans from the 1970s, guys in their 40s or 50s that are 49ers fans from the 1980s, guys in their 30s and 40s that are Cowboys fans from the 1990s…it’s sad. i guess i can give credit for them not jumping ship during the lean years, but still, have some fucking pride in where you’re from.
Georgia: Played 5 bowl eligible teams, 3 with a winning record. Lost by 28 to South Carolina. 11-1.
Alabama: Played 6 bowl eligible teams, 5 with a winning record. Lost to Texas A&M by 5. 11-1.
Notre Dame: Played 9 bowl eligible teams, 6 with a winning record. 12-0.
Rolltide67 MUST know what he’s talking about…I can tell cuz he spelled Te’o right and called Eifert by his christian name- “that TE.”
ilovebarstoolsports- you gotta cool out, bro. Jumping on a bandwagon isn’t AIDS. I can see some resentment if YOU were a ND fan and you had people clamoring for your team and claiming they were there all along; that’s not your beef. People can’t have pride for where they’re from unless they cheer home team? Thats ridiculous. What about people that don’t have a home team? Can’t pick an NFL team to cheer for if you’re from North Dakota (or LA for that matter)? Can’t like baseball if you’re from Idaho? People pick teams for their own reasons and, sometimes, that reason isn’t geography.
Also, no way you actually believe there are no Red Sox fans outside of boston this year… I don’t live in boston and I personally know Red Sox fans that only like the Red Sox because of ‘cute northeastern’ accents. All dudes. Gay, really gay dudes…but for whatever reason- they are BIG BoSox backers.
you guys gave up 300 to zack fuckin’ mettenberger..
