Ok, yes, thanks for clarifying. But that's not just an ND issue. Out of 80,000 or 100,000 fans in a stadium, there's bound to be a few jerks with loud whistles.
Also, I'm not sure why the officiating crew on the field didn't do anything about it. They were a PAC12 crew, after all.
Isn't whistling pretty much standard at football games? I sometimes whistle loudly at the games when I'm trying to create noise. And actually, I just watched the Michigan-Alabama game again and noticed quite a bit of whistling from the fans, just as loud as that at ND. Also, there may be whistling but the refs whistle is distinct. I can usually hear it loud and clear over any other whistles from the stands.
I'm not try to defend ND. I just think whistling is standard practice.
