LMAO @ Notre Dame

[Dedans Penthouse]

.

* THREAD BUMP *

...seemingly with every passing day, good ol' play-by-the-rules USC seems to have yet another charge filed against them or another penalty levied. If it's not the woman's tennis program, the men's basketball program, or an overall NCAA admonishment for "lack of institutional control" (lack of institutional control?? -- are we talking "university" or the O.J. Simpson Psycho Ward?), it's something else. Well, good ol' USC somehow topped even themselves--going for the gusto and somehow taking it to the 'next level' :

HAVING A NATIONAL TITLE STRIPPED FROM THEM BY THE N.C.A.A.

now THAT's extreme, even by SC *cough* "standards"

Let us mourn their loss in reverent song:

Sung to the tune:
"If You're Cheating and They KNOW it 'Clap' Your Hands"

a 1, and a 2, and a 3, and a 4,....and..

"If they stripped you of your title, RAISE YOUR HANDS.."


"If they stripped you of your title, RAISE YOUR HANDS.."


"..if '04's now sitting idle,
'cause they stripped of your title,


"If they stripped you of your title, RAISE YOUR HANDS!!"



"Beating the 'Rap' " - by O.J. Hammer

I'm the wife-beatard, O.J. Hammer,
Cochran's "race card" kept me outta the slammer,
I'm the SC matinee idol turned homicidal,
the SC fans' are now actin' suicidal,
I beat woman and paths that are both 'Bridal'
Pete bleeped-up, the cheat just lost his title..."


LMAO@WHO again?
lmao@usc's more like it, I would think...

Put simply:

Had ND been stripped of a national title, would this thread have sat 'dormant' for this long?....

p.s. and while we're at it, notice the 'silence' that surrounded (on this board & elsewhere), the eventual arrest of the LA thugs that put that San Francisco kid into a coma....for the "unpardonable" crime of being a S.F. Giants baseball fan???...

....nice, LA....

....go, USC !

Coach Kelly is now 8-7 as coach of ND. 0-2 to start off the year. Another long season?

[jamesblakefan#1]

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has apologized to players who were offended by remarks he made concerning recruits of the previous regime who are still playing for the Fighting Irish, the Chicago Tribune has reported, citing a source close to the team.

Kelly discussed the matter with a group of players at Friday's customary team dinner after voicing their feelings.

The meeting came a day after the coach's post-practice comments to the media resulted in several players taking to Twitter in apparent ire, the newspaper reported.

"You can see the players that I have recruited, you know who they are," Kelly said Thursday. "We’ve had one class of kids that we’ve recruited that I’ve had my hand on.

"The other guys here are coming along," Kelly added. "It’s a process. It can’t happen overnight. They’re getting it. They’re making good progress."

After opening the season with back-to-back losses, Notre Dame (4-3) appeared to be on the right track again with four straight wins, the last two in blowout territory, before a 31-17 loss to USC on Saturday night.

Kelly, in his second season with Notre Dame after Charlie Weis was fired, wasn't apologizing earlier in the week when some USC players said they had been surprised Notre Dame didn't call a timeout during the game's final drive, with Trojans linebacker Chris Galippo flat-out saying the Irish had quit.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley echoed that Monday, saying it seemed as if the Irish had given up.

"Our guys know what happened. They got their butts beat," Kelly said Tuesday. "They didn't play very well, and that comes with it. You get what you deserve."

But if the players had been mum on the topic of their late-game efforts, a wedge appeared to emerge late Thursday on social media, punctuated by a tweet written by junior linebacker Manti Te'o.

"Playin for my bros and that's it!!!!" Te'o posted, according to the Tribune.

[acura9927]

Well, the prestige of Notre Dame allows them to be able to recruit easier than some other schools. The name gives them access to players that otherwise would not have gone to a school with that record.

And they haven't won the National Championship yet, I doubt they can beat Bama/UGA who will have the confidence and momentum of coming off a big win.

[acura9927]

How impressive is it to say I was part of Notre Dame Football. Its like saying I played for the NY Yankees. I hope they win it all.

[jaggy]

Hahaha ND soccer #1 seeds lost to Indiana in the sweet 16. Well someone must care? right?

[Blaxican10s]

Go Notre Dame!!!

[NickC]

This should be interesting.

Thank god Oregon isn't in contention to play in the national championship, their offense would f*ck Notre Dame.

So Alabama or Georgia gets to do it instead.

The same Oregon that lost to Stanford, who lost to ..... Notre Dame. And Oregon always chokes in the big one, why would this year be any different? Oh wait, it wasn't.

I just don't get why everyone's thumbing their nose at Notre Dame.

[atatu]

I kind of like ND because I'm old school, but I still don't think they are that good, they barely beat Pitt ?

They convincingly beat OU in their house. ND's offense isn't any great shakes, but their defense (especially their running game defense) is elite. I think their line can hang with Bama's offensive line. Plus they manage ball possession and by virtue of all their close games, they know how to play tight. I don't think they beat Bama or Georgia, but I don't see a blowout.

I'm predicting Georgia upsets Bama.

Oregons shiny helmets must be blinding everyone. I am glad they are out of the title hunt and hope ND beats Bama or Ga.

[hollywood9826]

ND has played a tough enough schedule that undefeated earns them the NC game. I dont see how anyone can complain about that.

Yes they barely beat beat Pitt. But point is they won the game. Bama didnt win when they did not have thier A-game. Neither did any other team besides Ohio State. When the season began Notre Dame had as tough as a schedule as anyone. And I think it still holds up. They have more than earned the right to lose to the SEC in the title game.

LOL Jaggy. : )
Yes, I counted FIVE people who cared. (see pix below).

At the ND-SC FOOTBALL game, I counted FIVE as well...give or take 92,000. ND-SC football was "standing room only." ND-IN soccer was "standing around only"....hell even the soccer tix scalpers (Biff & Skippy) working the local Starbucks were complaining ...

"Guys!!...enough of this...let's get back to campus in time for the Indiana 'SOCCER' game!!!!"



South Bend Tribune, Nov. 26, 2012:
"Now that the on-campus buzz over a coveted BCS appearance versus a vaunted (and most likely favored) SEC conference champion has died down, all attention was then drawn to the compelling ND-Indiana soccer match. Before a standing-around-only crowd (with the occassional car horn honking in the distance), the Hoosiers..."

In the "College Football 2012" thread, you'll get some legit reasons for the thumb-nosing (i.e. reasons extending from years back). This EXPIRED, NOW IRRELEVANT-FOR-2012 thread title pretty much says it all...should be retitled "LMAO@USC" or more to the point, "Butt Hurt Central" (smirk)

I would agree--I see 'Bama winning the title.

Further (my "'Bama like" aside), I think 'Bama on its AA+ night is capable of blowing anyone out who's left in the mix with the possible exception of an improved (esp. at QB) LSU team. Overall, the SEC (esp. their defenses) are just a cut above the rest of the pack.

[hollywood9826]

The top SEC teams are just deeper in pure atheletes than any other conference. Just check the maps of blue chip recruits. The south east almost has a lock on the blue chippers.

If these maps dont break it down I dont what does.
