Don't you know, they are the greatest thing ever happened to college football. They still think the "Four Horseman" are in their backfield. They still think Ara is pacing the sidelines and Lou Holtz is just a headset away. I even saw a post on X where this ND fan didn't think IU fans could afford scalpers prices for tickets.
Man I dislike a lot of Notre Dame fans.
I THOUGHT I had decided last night to just stop trying to present facts and arguing with ND, SEC, OSU fans because they will never listen. What am I doing this morning ... back on X commenting to SEC fans and ND fans that replied to my comments. Then I come here and "help out" the ND expert that infiltrated the forum, picking and choosing his points for comparison.
The biggest mistake these uninformed people make is they see Indiana football and automatically think it will be a walkover.
Your lsat sentence nails it,I’ve commented numerous times how weird it is to see how many people are pissed because we had a great season,people are strange.
Or even better, "no self imposed limitations".
We’re gonna make it “our” CFP!
It is hard to believe but one game at a time ... with a great coaching staff and a team playing with nothing to lose. I agree. There are really no dominate teams in this playoff and there will be upsets also.
Watching @bsmitty08 refer to Notre Dame as "we" on their football message board I've been scrolling through is the treat I needed this morning.
Yes, he's one of many & he's the epitome of the reversible jacket fan, too.
Reminds me of the 2002 Sweet 16 Duke game where before the game Coach K was overheard asking an assistant, “What time do we play on Saturday?”
Haha that’s awesome,I’ve never heard that before.
I have IU graduate friends who grew up catholic with parents having ND season tickets. Obviously were diehard ND fans well before they then went to IU and of course our fball program was atrocious much like ND bball was. Thats why the dots connected on how some of these reversible jacket fans came to be. With that being said, they all root for IU football and have been pretty hardcore about it this year. Their allegiance is still with ND so this game is going to test their will power.
You must not have been paying close attention. They're still EVERYWHERE up here. They conveniently choose whichever team is winning, often times. But overall, the general trend of ND football/IU basketball has held true. Even though both haven't produced as much as they did up through the 80s.
I too am from northern Indiana and that statement is BS. I've met, known, experienced and seen dozens. Absolute "12's"!
Those that don't understand the concept of what a reversible jacket fan is, or have never met one, or think our discussion of this topic is pure fantasy, they should read your post right here. This post is a great outline or way understanding the concept of the reversible jacket fan. 👍 👍 👍
And with most of them that I know, this is how next Friday will go.
I'd call most of them not smart enough to get into either school, but that's probably not the case.
There are more than a few IU grads from up around here, that will be wearing Blue and Gold next Friday. But will claim to be "conflicted", and will flip and be just the biggest IU fans ever the following week, if IU wins.
This is exactly it. 👍 There appear to be numerous basketball posters who have IU degrees, love IU bb (or loved it past tense
) & follow/support ND fb, and at the same time, hold no loyalty to IU fb. Now, I get the front runners that they are, they will now claim to be IU fb fans because of this one meteoric season. ...maybe even run Freeman out of town since they didn't want him from the day he was announced...also there will be no repeat insurmountable troubles as was the case at the Shoe...
That's weird to me. Who gives a s*** about a little catholic school in a crappy town in northern indiana if you didn't pony up the $200K to go there?This is exactly it. 👍 There appear to be numerous basketball posters who have IU degrees, love IU bb (or loved it past tense
Grew up in Da Region. And by Region I mean Lake County north of the Little Cal. SB is paradise in comparison.
Yeah cause this board isn’t smug lol. Hell you can’t be a fan of both even though live smack dab in the middle of the two schools. Also in response to someone about getting into an institute…no I didn’t get accepted into ND but I did at Iu, PU but chose to go elsewhere.
Nothing at all sir, just thought it was par for the course.
Right. You being a Notre Dame fan is par for the course. Expected nothing less.
Did you decide to leave out a win on the road at Texas A&M and a win over Louisville? I mean if you are gonna bash them, have all the facts up.
You've proven you're an uneducated dimwit over and over again...this is not news to me.
Sooo?? Who gives a f*ck who I follow and watch. I am a native Indiana resident and grew up watching both.
