WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
Support MGoBlog: buy stuff at Amazon
As we know they make shirts for both teams in a championship so that it is available as soon as the game is over to sell to celebrating fans. Normally the loser shirts go to some developing country never to be seen but at least one ND shirt ended up in Pennsylvania.
I am posting this mainly because of my hatred for ND.

What I find especially curious is that they thought they had ANY chance against Bama. I mean, no other team in the country would have won that game either. So...why spend the money on dem shirts?
Imagine how gloriously awkward it would have been if they had won but didn't have shirts to celebrate. I would have paid to see that conversation take place.
"Uh, Coach Kelly...you see, we the staff didn't really think we had a snowball's chance in hell to beating those guys and, well...ummm...here's a toothpick."
It's not like "Notre Dame," the institution spent the money. Addidas made that shirt, as I'm sure a handfull of other licensees did. It's not that much outlay for a few thousand shirts to sell right away and the profit margin makes it completely worth it if the team does win. How big of an underdog a particular team is doesn't factor into the equation. After all, significant under dogs DO occassionally pull off the miracle, plus, can you imagine the fall out if ND had won and all of their fans at the game immediately went clamoring to buy official gear only to find out that Addidas didn't have enough faith in their team to have shirts and hats printed up? *gulp*
Better to have them ready on the off chance you'll be able to sell a $3.00 shirt for $25.00 than NOT be prepared and face a disasterous PR problem.
thanks for deflating my joke.
Debbie Downer.
(kidding...)
Ya, I did kinda kill it there. *boo*
Zeke Motta? He missed more tackles than there were plays in the game.
Everyone remembers that Texas A&M beat them, right? And that LSU basically had them dead to rights? And Georgia for that matter?
but after what they did to us on week one, and seeing how we played ND a short time after, did you ever consider that ND had ANY chance in that game? I know, I know...transitive property and all, but did you think for a minute that Saban wouldn't have that team ready to throttle ND? I had absolutely no doubt in my mind...
Notre Dame did pretty well against Oklahoma and Stanford, I at least had a glimour of hope for humanity.
I pretty much saw us get rolled by Bama, then basically shutdown ND. ND won because we graciously threw 4 picks on 4 pass attempts IIRC. I thought, unless Brian Kelly had some Lloyd-Carr-2008-Cap-One-Bowl Epiphany, that it was going to go poorly for them
Yes, but my prediction (and I bet I'm not alone on this) is that those teams would have treated ND to a similar ass-kicking that Alabama gave them. And, to be fair, they'd have likely beaten Michigan as well. Sadly, the top SEC teams are a notch above most of the rest of the country right now. We need to get there, and I cannot wait until it finally happens.
All because of the higher salary cap allowed by the SEC.
I thought they had a chance
Did I think ND would win, of course not. But they won at Oklahoma, at USC, and whether or not the win against Stanford was controversial, they still played well enough to be in that position. I thought they had a chance.
I'm pretty sure whomever they're liscenced with makes the shirts and then just sends them to Africa as a write off or something.
but that's a pretty cool shirt. And it was made by Adidas...
Pretty creative... that being said, obligatory satire:

uNDerwhelmed
Yeah I will give it up for them, it's definitely a cool shirt.
To Hell with Notre Dame
Notre Dame... I can't wait to see them in the Big House, under the lights. It should be a treat.
The luckiest team was last year:
OSU
UofNL (Neb)
ND
OSU for sure
want to make a joke about the National Championship game but we got Alabamad too. Ah, I guess I will just (Insert Manti Tao joke) here.
Yeah there really is no shame in losing that game.
My shirt would read "unreturNDed to glory."
uNDeserving
uNDermanned
uNDerwhelming
It actually is a pretty sweet shirt, however. If I were a ND fan, and we had won that game, I would have definitely purchased one.

Has that shirt transferred yet from ND?
Charlie Weis thinks the shirt is pitiful.
Charlie Weis thinks the shirt is a pile of crap.
I was looking for the chicken on the shirt--I didn't see one.
think of poor Lennay's feelings.
Carlos Hyde swears he never laid a hand on Lennay either.
Considering they made a similar tshirt for our Bball team, this thread just makes me sad.
It's sad to think that the shirt is more real than she is.
Wait, that's not sad, that's hilarious.
Perhaps this will help? This was actually for sale in Virginia Beach last fall...
I'll just chime in with what a couple others have already said. I actually like the shirt. This makes me happier they lost. I couldn't live in a world where I actually had to compliment something being worn by a Notre Dame fan.
Where's the shirt showing the refs handing Notre Dame the wins against Stanford and Pitt?
That Pitt game was the worst!
put undtil we got ass raped by bama on the back and sell them
Evert nd fans i know still say 12-0 undedeated like the bowl game dosn't count.
since the bowl game is the only thing anyone else remembers. other than the imaginary GF, of course.
This shirt is as phony as Manti T'eo's girlfriend.
Darren Rovell of ESPN tweeted the pic. It could be fake but I posted anyway because...well... I hate ND.
and Thailand and Bolivia wearing them, after Adidas quietly sells off the stock to third-party overseas wholesalers to recoup its investment.
Reminds me of this classic.
They forgot Unneeded!
I can only assume this means that they will simply return to wearing that "Unfinished Business" shirt in South Bend for another season, or perhaps the next several seasons.
In a not at all shocking development, AL.com picked up on this - (LINK). The comment thread is an absolute train wreck, which you also might expect, and especially so after Auburn fans decided to unload in it as well. All the same, there are alternate T-shirt suggestions there as well - the addition of "uNDertide" was pretty funny, I thought. The other suggestion someone put forth was that ND could wear these and simply claim a championship, as it has worked for Alabama in the past.
