All Things Notre Dame - The Clashmore Mike Memorial Thread

[hack]

Sounds like bullshit to me. If you love football and it's a good game going into that second half, why wouldn't you watch it? WTF?

[iam416]

Eh, not much interest. FWIW, I didn't watch the LSU-Alabama abomination last year, either. I bet on it -- Tide was such a gift. I was traveling. Got home in the 2nd quarter. Watched on series. Turned it off.

Makes no sense. If you love football and there's a good matchup, you enjoy the game.

[iam416]

I don't necessarily claim it to be rational; just a personal preference.

[hack]

Fair enough.

I'm bored of your schtick - pretending that we're all so interested in Notre Dame..

Pot, meet kettle.

Maybe, as agitated as Talent as been lately on this forum, you'd be better to tell him:

Pot, meet bong.

Very little need for you to specify when you are being “crystal fucking clear”, unless your default posting manner is decidedly less than clear. The entire discussion is above for anyone who is literate to decide what is or isn’t clear. Based on your profession, I asked about the legal criteria that may or may not be considered for a team to exit the ACC…which you graciously answered.

For whatever reason you also choose to (repeatedly) include disparaging hypothetical narratives about what Notre Dame might do, contrary to your current stance that you don’t care about what Notre Dame does. I chose to ignore a couple of the barbs until the point that I chose not to ignore them. It’s as simple as that.

As far as my “sense of grandeur” goes, I’m the same poster I’ve been since in the late ‘90s on CNNSI…the only real difference is that my team hasn’t had anything close to the success we’ve had this season. I had thought that I had been somewhat careful in not touting / gloating / rubbing noses in shit, and am sorry that you see things differently.

mike... good luck tonight. I'm not an ND fan, but i hate the SEC. We'll be pulling for ND in our household.

[Clashmore Mike]

Thanks...much appreciated.

Quite a surreal day so far...can't believe it's game day.

[Mike]

ROLL TIDE!!

Interesting side note to tonight's game. I believe this is the first season in the history of college football rankings when the pre-season no 1 (USC ) ended the regular season unranked and the regular season ending no. 1 (ND) started the season unranked. And both achieved those positions by playing each other in the final game of the regular season.

Isn't there a long streak of the #2 team winning the BCS championship game? I seem to recall that is usually the case. Probably because the #2 team lost a game, learned from it, and adjusted.

Who gives a shit. lmao

ND struggled all year, but beat Oklahoma and USC on the road. Now we know that those two teams weren't all that great either. Nick Saban has had a month to prepare. Roll, Tide.
