Baseless arrogance. Legends in their own minds. Generally reviled by the majority. Headed for a fall.

Ah, a post from someone who has actually had dealings with people from ND. How refreshing.

Since I live in Chicago, the only times I can easily go see Clemson is when they play in South Bend. I've been over there for every basketball game and for one baseball series since ND joined the ACC. I also went to the ND/ Wake game the year ND went to the championship. All the people who work for ND were great, and the fans didn't give us too hard of a time either. In fact, when we were trying to find the baseball field, we asked a girl walking on campus where it was and she offered to ride with us over to the stadium. We ended up offering her a beer and she tailgated with us for a little while.

I think that is typical of how visiting fans are treated at ND. IMO, that's how things should be. We all root for our schools, but there is no reason to be hostile. That's not to say that you can't have a bad encounter at ND. There are bad apples wherever you go. Glad you have enjoyed your trips to ND.

I hope nd loses every football game they ever play.

Grew up rooting against Notre Dame but have softened my stance somewhat. On occasion I do pull for The Irish. Attend a couple of home FB a year and a handful of hoops/hockey/baseball. My wife's family has pretty strong connections with ND and its associated schools in the area (Holy Cross and St Marys) so it is natural that I've had ton adapt to keep the family happy. Its ok for me to pull against ND, I just can't be a ####.
The fans that I associate with are pretty rational and realize they don't have the built in advantages of decades past and that consistent glory is most likeluba thing of the past. Bit they do have pride. Almost all are alumns and I find that they have their heads on straight for the most part. On occassion they will talk about academic rrquirement s preventing them from being all powerful but whatever - let them have this to fall back on.
Fans don't talk a lot of smack. Those that do are typically your Wal Mart fans who bought the T-shirt.
I find UNC fans to be much more dooshy and arrogant. I went to the UNC v ND last year and UNC fans were ##### - especially when they grabbed the lead early.

But he's gone win!
At least that's what I'm telling myself so I can feign outrage and go on and on about "where this country is headed" when he inevitably loses.

current President, which is a better analogy.
Good list though (baseless arrogance. Legends in their own minds. Generally reviled by the majority, Headed for a fall).
At least Trump is successful at something (business). ND hasn't done squat in decades.

As long as ND has that NBC deal, they have the ability to be that arrogant. IMO, I've never found ND fans to be that awful. They generally seem to know more about the rest of CFB versus your average SEC honk, who probably doesn't have a clue as to the physical locations of schools like Stanford or Syracuse.
