I guess it’s gotten too much to ignore. Notre Dame keeps on
winning and we have to keep pretending they are still relevant because of their
legacy.
I keep hoping teams will knock them out and remind folks that
this isn’t the 80’s or early 90’s. But each week, they keep winning and the old
echoes of South Bend keep getting louder and louder.
They beat Michigan State. They made Shoelace Robinson look
silly in defeating Michigan. And now, they destroyed The U. A game that had to
make all the former Miami players sick as the Irish scored 34 unanswered points.
This is the highest Notre Dame has been ranked since
2006. 5-0 is 5-0. I respect it. But I
don’t have to like what it represents. Some Notre Dame fans getting high and
mighty and pretentious. Media types saying Notre Dame is back.
Full disclosure. One of my last college friends was a proud
Irish fan. A good acquaintance from college is a proud Irish fan. I don’t hate
all fans. But I guess I dislike them the same way people dislike the Lakers,
Yankees, Duke and all those hateable teams.
