OT-Irish fans hilarious idea if (when) ND loses to Utah
A Notre Dame student paper writer had a pretty good idea if (when) Notre Dame loses to Utah on Nov.13. I will let the article do the rest of the explaining.
Bonus: read some of the comments at the bottom. Some fans are NOT liking his idea.

Anonymous Wed Oct 27 2010 12:14 I would advise you to be careful to avoid the football players while doing that, as they tend to be quite large. But then I realized that all you have to do is run the veer and nobody will lay a hand on you.

for some reason i can't cut/paste so here it is almost accurate
"I would advise you to be careful to avoid the football players when you do that, as they tend to be quite large. But then i realized that all you need to do is run the veer and no one will lay a hand on you."

I mean we have to be closing in on the worst 4 year stretch in UM history right (8-4. 3-9, 5-7, ???)? I think even Bump Elliot only managed 19 losses in his worst 4 year stretch (we currently have 22 in the last 4 years with 4 losses coming under Carr in '07).
Independent of the whole glass houses/stones issue though, that is hilarious. Our students should plan something similarly ironic and awesome.

We are currently tied for the most losses in any 4 year period in Michigan history (22). The last time we accomplished such a feat was with Harry Kipke in 1934-1937 with his teams going 1-7, 4-4, 1-7, 4-4, respectively. It would appear that we will eclipse this mark against either Illinois, Ohio State, Wisconsin or (most likely) all of the above.

1. Stop being a negative nancy.
2. Unlike ND, we're actually improving year to year, so sit back and laugh at the irish.

How did you know his name was Nancy?!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:46 PM ^
But he called himself Lil

Well Kipke's kids did all that in 32 games and we are now tied in 43 games... so we are way ahead of that pace.. so cheer up, it could be way worse.

While I tend to agree with you, we did have an amazing bowl game against Florida where the HeismanTebowPunditTrain was stopped dead in its tracks.

The big difference is Michigan has actually had thrilling victories over that time and a clear progression in talent.
Notre Dame's biggest victory these past 4-6 years was either a loss (the Bush Push game), or, I don't know, the Hawaii bowl game? Michigan probably has had 8 games that were more satisfying than those two, all of which were actual wins no less.

Thanks for posting.
Loved the comment about taking care about not running into any of the players while storming the field followed by the "If you run the veer though, they will never be able to catch you".

EDIT: This was intended to be a response to the second (research) comment of jlvanals. Screwed up the placement ...

It's been ugly, yeah, but I think a more meaningful statistic would be something like "percent of games lost over a four-year period." (Today's seasons have more games than in years past.)

You have to know the below response to the article came from a 15-year-old high school kid that hasn't played any sport himself. I love it.
You guys are a disgrace to Notre Dame and its fans!!! It is clear the school made a huge mistake in admitting such punks to such an awesome school. You kind of sissies are the worst kind of fair-weather fans! The unathletic wusses that never played a sport and have no idea what it takes to compete. But run your mouth trying to tear down the players that have committed so much of themselves to Notre Dame football. You are weak and have no character!!! Keep your negative comments to yourself and be grateful to have such a wonderful opportunity to attend Notre Dame.

Admitting punks to an awesome (meh...) school since 1869

Looking in from and outsider's POV really makes you sit back and think about how ridiculous some of the criticisms of Coach Rod are.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:19 PM ^
halfway through year one? Wow.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:23 PM ^
And it's completely absurd. Kelly has proven himself at every school he's gone to. I fear our days of laughing at NDs mediocrity are numbered.
October 27th, 2010 at 7:58 PM ^
However, he has also frequently been followed by shady questions of team discipline and conduct. Also, there is a lurking suspicion that something structural might be wrong at ND other than just the ND coaches, and if this proves true, perhaps not.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:02 PM ^
I like how the comments are debating the merits of the idea. Clearly, this was a sincere suggestion instead of a ND fan cracking under the weight of their self-loathing.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
The comments go to show that some people take things/themselves way to seriously.
If this gives the seniors an opportunity to have a good time at the last football game they will attend as students, then they should 100% do it.
It is a sad day when people take things so seriously that they can not laugh off life's smaller misfortunes.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
I guess I am in the minority here, but I think that this idea is hilarious.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:49 PM ^
Didn't know that Dan Brown was an ND alum.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:53 PM ^
and i'm paraphrasing, "Do you think 2,000 seniors on the field can protect Dan Crist in the pocket?"
fantastic

Looks like the senior class has more fight in them than the football team.
