Charlie Weis losing his malpractice suit over gastric bypass surgery is still amazing. Like you'd think you could win that suit just by having Charlie stand up in court.

The first trial ended in a mistrial when the doctors he was suing rushed to help some juror who collapsed I remember.

Notre Dame fans claim they almost lost to Pitt last year because it was during midterms and all their athletes were busy studying.

Also Notre Dame produced Jimmy Clausen so gently caress Notre Dame forever.

How can they have been a premier program for the last few centuries when they've only had a football team since 1887?

notre dame are the failsons of cfb doing nothing of note in the past three decades aside from 2012 and 2018 where they got mollywhopped by the actual championship team

also every loving nd football article on wikipedia is way too loving long, which isn�t necessarily their fault, but gently caress them for it anyways

Yeah, one of the jurors had a heart attack and the doctors literally saved his life. So they called a mistrial, because its pretty loving hard to tell two doctors they hosed up when they literally saved a man in front of them. The suit was over a post-operative infection which unless there was a clear lack of follow up on the doctors behalf is just a thing that sometimes happens. I believe they settled, as most malpractice cases do.

Hasn't ND made a couple of playoffs? Even with their sometimes-lackluster schedule and media hype, I say if you make the playoffs, nobody can say you sucked that year.

i suspect it is easy to grow up into kind of a shithead when they put you on the cover of sports illustrated at like 14

like lebron has his issues but ive always been impressed hes not more of an insane ego monster after being hyped that way at that age

clausen i figure is more of a typical outcome of such

wernox: Mar 26, 2001; I gave up my OG title for this.

quote:

I don't want to talk about the game. I don't want to rehash botched calls, questionable play-calling, or stupid mistakes. I don't want to think about the "if-only's." It's too painful. Let me mourn in peace.

Still, the trip to West Lafayette was a valuable learning experience. It made me thoroughly appreciate being a Domer.

The corn should have been my first clue that something was amiss. We took the first exit that said Purdue, anticipating the sight of the stadium ready to accommodate screaming Irish fans. Instead, we found ... corn. For several miles we drove on a two-lane road winding through cornfield upon cornfield.

Thanks to backed-up traffic, we had several hours to appreciate the corn.

Finally we made it to campus ("I thought I'd seen ugly buildings before � but now I realize I was wrong," said my roommate) and into the stadium.

But the reasons to count my blessings had just begun. Anytime there are more cheerleaders than football players, well, there's something inherently wrong. You may think I'm kidding. But I'm dead serious.

Start with the 10 girls and 10 guys, who I assume were the varsity cheerleaders. Add 10 more of each who I think were the JV cheerleaders. That's 40. Then consider the 16 flag girls and eight baton twirlers. We're up to 64. But that's not all. Count the 32 pom girls, even though I couldn't quite discern their purpose, and that brings us to a grand total of 96 cheerleaders.

And you might think there's nothing wrong with this. Spirit is good, right? Well, maybe I could excuse it if there was any spirit in the Purdue stadium. But there wasn't.

Our 12 cheerleaders are able to make the entire stadium resonate with the sounds of "We are Notre Dame." The Purdue stadium resonated with ... random noise every once in awhile when Purdue had a good play.

After an entire game in Ross-Ade Stadium, with the Purdue fans just two rows behind me, I have no idea what their fight song sounds like. They never sang it. I think the band played it every so often, but I'm not even sure about that, since we couldn't really hear the band.

Maybe we're spoiled, since when our band plays the sound resonates through campus. Even in the broadcast of the Michigan game, the Irish band could be heard loud and clear in the Big House. But I don't think it's too much to ask for a band to at least play loud enough that those sitting in the stadium can hear it. It's not like the sounds of the crowd were drowning it out.

Even the individual fans were a disappointment. The ubiquitous presence of "The Shirt" confused and befuddled them. One fan sneered, "What, did they give those shirts out for free or something?" I guess the concept of Irish unity is too much for them to grasp. Understandable I guess, since Boilermaker unity is nonexistent.

As we were heading back to our car, a Purdue student shouted insults at us from his dorm window. At this point, someone who would attack two girls while hiding in the safety of his dorm didn't even surprise me.

We walked away with our heads held high. After all, we are ND. And we don't have to spend the rest of our college careers at Purdue.

They all have attitudes like this. People in Indiana who can't spell college are all ND Football/IU Basketball fans and it is insufferable.

I think if I ever got to a place in my life where I was typing screeds like that that boil down to "we're better than Purdue" I'd probably take a long, hot bath with some razor blades or a plugged in toaster in easy reach.

ND vs Bama we spent in a bar in Guam. We got there 2hrs before the game, and a giant group of ND fans had already set up a shrine and were loudly talking poo poo.

I hate bama, but that day I had to root for them. When the game was over, they walked over to the table and demanded to know what our names were and what command we were at so they could speak to our CO about our conduct.

The reason? We cheered when alabama scored. Nevermind the fact that these guys, every single one of them navy and air force officers, were literally doing sprints around the bar waving flags and screaming in people's faces for loving hours. We dared cheer against ND so we had to be punished.

gently caress Notre Dame.
