Cheer, Cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer up high!

You know, I'm not sure if Yahweh, a God of all encompassing love and forgiveness, would exactly care who spoke where, and reward or deny victory on such grounds.

But then again, maybe my Sunday schooling with Methodists was sorely lacking on Jehovah's love for collegiate football...

There are some levels of suck you can't even blame on Obama. Go in peace.

No, Notre Dame football just sucks hard.

GAT_00: No, Notre Dame football just sucks hard.

This. Definitely this. Though I was pleased when they beat Boston College.

...

My god, they're full of stupid.

Notre Dame is the Sarah Palin of College Football.

Or would be, if Sarah Palin had ever accomplished anything in the past.


/Don't flame me for the political reference. I'm drunk, and know not what I do.

Was God punishing them in advance the last few seasons as well?

I, for one, enjoy watching Notre Dame lose regularly on national TV.

It is all about ethics and Catholicism. Nothing to be ashamed of - if you're Catholic.

apistat: Was God punishing them in advance the last few seasons as well?

He knew they were going to let Obama speak, so he was preemptively punishing them. It's one of the perks of knowing fate before it unfolds.

Hey, have you ever been Mayor of Wasilla?

That's what I thought.

Who can deny such logic? Look! Ole Miss won! God wills it!

Mentat: Hey, have you ever been Mayor of Wasilla?

That's what I thought.

Nice, tough guy. Pre-emptively strike someone who's never been to Alaska. Or, for that matter, Hawaii.

But I've seen all the lower 48, the REAL America, and I once thought of running for mayor, and I don't have any children who've had illegitimate children (so far as I know). I've even seen the Notre Dame campus, a pustule on the backside of Indiana.

And if any of this makes sense to you, you're as drunk as I am, and as ready for bed.

TTFN.

If prayer worked all praying teams would win all the time.

Mentat: Hey, have you ever been Mayor of Wasilla?

People make fun but hey, I'm pretty sure there will never be a real possibility of me being Vice President of the United States. So yeah, I'd call even being nominated for a major party an accomplishment. As well as being a governor.

apistat: Was God punishing them in advance the last few seasons as well?

Not for Obama, for alter boy raping priests.

God is punishing Notre Dame's AD for giving Weiss a 10 year contract before he had proven he was a good coach.

As governor of Alaska, she represented as many people as members of the House of Representatives do, and she didn't even complete one term. And there is no way in hell there was ever a real possibility of her being Vice President; indeed, she's what put the last nail in the coffin of that campaign.

And yet, with all of those considerations, she's below Mike Dukakis in any sort of political success.

Dukakis.

Sorry, I suppose I should say political accomplishment. The vapid small-town-mayor-turned-half-assed-governor-turned-failed-vice-presidential-pick has certainly gotten plenty of celebrity success in the right-wing political field. Of course, that success is defined solely by the fact that reactionary nutjobs farking love her because... farked if I know. She wrote an inexplicably petty and inaccurate book, lost a vice presidential bid, was governor of a small (population and economy-wise) state for a fraction of a term, and was the mayor of a town smaller than my own hometown. But shiat, the rubes eat up her bullshiat folksiness and worship her like the next savior of the Republican party, so I suppose she is more successful on the national political scene, in terms of short-term, partisan popularity, than Dukakis.

Sarah Palin is coming to Norman, OK on Dec. 3rd. Will this help OU's basketball team?

// No hope for the football team.

If God had a problem with it he probably should have changed the results of the election instead of football games.

Im putting the line at 2in7 that this thread turns into political argument.

1 in 7 that it goes towards butthurt atheists baiting religious folk.

1 in 25 that it is about ND footballl.

1 in 200 that Weis sees another year of coaching at Notre dame

1:1000 that Weis has has seen his Weiss Weener in 5 years.

1in13 that I'll bother to read the article.

10in1 is gang rape or Japanese porn

10 in. penis is a lie he hopes she believes

As a conservative and Notre Dame football fan I can definitively say, that God is punishing Notre Dame for thinking that a guy whose only play call is "Throw the ball 40 yards down field and hope" on every down is a good coach.

(secretly hopes that this thread turns into a discussion of how every one involved in the Bill Belichick coaching tree is absolutely worthless)

Ted Kennedy's Brain Tumor: Who can deny such logic? Look! Ole Miss won! God wills it!

No, that's just proof of Satan's existence.

I don't follow sports, I can't tell you who plays for my city's team, but I know that this farking movie makes me tear up every time I see it:



Go Ruettiger. Go Notre Dame. Thank you black janitor.

Driving Without Pants: As governor of Alaska, she represented as many people as members of the House of Representatives do, and she didn't even complete one term.

And yet she was still elected to be the leader of a state. That's not something anyone gets to do. It's still an accomplishment, whether you want to admit it or not.

At least liberals aren't trying to ban their nickname, 'The Fighting Irish', for being racist... yet.

In before the first Penn State reference.

/Go PSU!
//ND Sux!

Gato Negro: At least liberals aren't trying to ban their nickname, 'The Fighting Irish', for being racist... yet.

It's not racist, it's accurate.

SamFlagg: Josh McDaniels seems to be holding his own.

/At least when Orton is healthy

Notre Dame lost. BYU won.

Therefore, God likes the Mormons more than the Catholics--and the Air Force.

Suck it, haters.

willicus: SamFlagg: Josh McDaniels seems to be holding his own.

Well, in the first 6 weeks he matched what will be Weis's win total for the season. And he didn't get to make his own schedule.

You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college football players in the land for 2 years. And you're gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this life, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen. Now go on back.

mrjared: You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have barely a speck of athletic ability

Weis hasn't been 100 and nothin' since he was 6.

I don't follow football, but even as a Hoosier, I've only ever heard about Notre Dame's past and/or Rudy. Seriously, it's a well respected school, but beyond that I only ever hear about IU and Purdue sports teams. Is Notre Dame even a semi contender anymore? Or has it been in the past 20 odd years?

And Rudy.

The only thing worse than fool republicans is fool democrats who make a big issue over the things that fool republicans say.

Gato Negro: There is absolutely no subject that I will not twist to justify my irrational hate of liberals. Even though I can't define liberal.

Boring.

Pigskin is an abomination unto the Lord God.
That's why both teams are not allowed to win, no matter how much they pray.

It makes perfect sense. There is unimaginably evil in the world. Millions of christians in the third world suffer unimaginable hardships. Christians are actually persecuted for their beliefs in some places. There are many evil people who speak and act against the teachings of christ.

Clearly sabotaging a sports team that only a very small number of people know or care about in response to the speach of a christian who isn't quite the right sort of christian in some people view is the logical action to take.

There are a large number of people who deserve to struck down by lightning. There are millions suffering from hunger with no mana falling from the sky. There is war and terror going on in the world without God stepping in and messing with celestial mechanics. None of this is happening.

Even if you belive in a different sort of God, one who is primarly concerned with Gay Marriage, Government Healthcare, Socialism, Legalizing Soft Drugs, Prostitution and similar stuff, you have to admit that all that and more is happening right now in places like the Netheralnds. The Netherlands happen to lie largely below the ocean level and the only thing keeping the country from being totally flooded is a system of dams and dykes built by their government. Amsterdam is not under water!

I think the case can be made that the whole divine intervention thing and the signs from above probably are not happening right now with any frequency or relibility. Or else we can agree that if they do happen they happen without any discernable rhyme or reason and that God is work in very mysterious ways.

Lets ignore this for now until we have some less ambigous signs like the ones that happened all the time back in the old testament.

"God" Doesn't give a flying fark about football.

Oh how quickly we have forgotten the episode "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" from South Park, where Jimbo prays to Jesus during a football game and Jesus basically tells him to STFU

Here let me be the liberal version of GatoNegro for a minute.


God is punishing Notre Dame for being a Catholic University and seminary and releasing hordes of pedophile priests into the world over the years.

God is punishing Notre Dame because Notre Dame is a mortal institution and therefore inherently stained with sin.

Notre Dame is punished Notre Dame because Notre Dame is entangled in a web of attachments.

Newton's Third Law is punishing Notre Dame because Notre Dame has acted previously.

The other team is punishing Notre Dame because Notre Dame sucks at football.

Charlie Weis is an ACORN sleeper agent who recruits underaged hookers for the cheerleading squad.

Waitaminute, I think I just created a screenplay for a summer blockbuster movie... holy shiat, I'm gonna be rich!

GratuityIncluded: I, for one, enjoy watching Notre Dame lose regularly on national TV.

This, although I do feel bad for Charlie Weis. But damn, I enjoyed that game last night. Even with the help of the refs they still lost.

ghare: Gato Negro: There is absolutely no subject that I will not twist to justify my irrational hate of liberals. Even though I can't define liberal.

Don't bother. He's nothing more than a troll and an attention whore. Just ignore the poor slob.
