My God do you Domers feel so slighted by Meyer's rejections now you have to CONVINCE yourselves the Kelly hire was the right choice by comparing his record to Urban's? That is really pathetic, even for you dilweeds.

alright all we need is sleeper and ncf to join in and we have another successful ND thread. You guys should troll as a group and call yourself the Four Horsemen.

At least Urban had the dignity to stay and coach Utah in their BCS game.

naa, i never expected meyer to leave for notre dame. why would he?

i am totally satisfied with kelly as the head coach. he was always my first choice.

Why do people keep bringing this up?! It was Cincy's AD's choice to have Kelly not coach in the bowl game.

riiiight. I can see how this went.

BK: "I am taking the position at Notre Dame, but I realllllly want to coach in the Sugar Bowl"

AD: "no Brian"

GTFO. You and I both know damn well that in the end, if Kelly WANTED to coach the Sugar Bowl he would be coaching it. Lets leave it up to ND jerkoffs to play the role of "everybody but his own fault" scenario out for us all.

Awesome job Brian Kelly, way to downgrade to Notre Dame. Good Luck there douche bag, you're going to need it.

Notre Dame fans, we live for the days where chicks had hair on their vaginas and our football program actually didn't suck, Man we miss the 80's. Way to live in the legacy of your past successes. Notre Dame's program is so well respected that the best movie anyone could make based on the football program, was about a little turd from "Tardtown" that got in for a whole two plays his entire career. Wow, congratulations.

I would bet it was Notre Dames choice to keep him from coaching the Sugar Bowl.

How many movies have been made about Ohio State? And by the way show some love for Knute Rockne: All-American. Rudy isn't the only film made for Notre Dame football.

what in the hell does Rudy have to do with anything? That might be the worst attempt at ND trolling the world has ever seen. That is saying something with the likes of some of the jag bags that frequent every Notre Dame thread. What a fucking joke.

Drop the fucking word TROLLING. Jesus Christ, just because we DON'T like the same damn school you idiots are jizzing over, we are trolls? Hell, I made an educated, thought out, respectful post on another thread regarding the Brian Kelly situation, and a ND lover calls me out why, because I have an opposed view on the matter than he/she does. Get over it, for Christ's sake, just because we don't like Notre Dame, and feel the situation is absolute bullshit doesn't make us trolls. Oh, and karen, queen of the troll patrol, why don't you take a look at one of your own ND lovers rocket31, and realize that perhaps there's a little trolling done on both sides. I guess you missed that part though, unfuckin believable! Grow up, get a life, enjoy "Tardtown" with your other ND flamers!

So basicaly I could save you alot of typing and saying the word fuck alot to try and make yourself look sweet. You basically just typed out a long post where essentially all you said is I know you are but what am I.

Is this an example of one of your educated, thought out, respectful posts?

In some people's minds a few well-placed F-bombs seasoned with some wrongful use of the name of the Lord our God drives home the point and clearly demonstrates the person's intellectual self-aggrandizement.

Translation: Don't disagree me or I will put some letters in CAPS and get all ANGRY!!! Read my swear words and see that I am angry!!!!!

That's fine that there are a lot of people on here who don't like ND. I have no problem with that. And yes....there are a few ND posters who troll at times. That being said, you had one helluva meltdown there. But it is pretty funny that you talk about your well thought out and respectful posts and then your last few posts on this thread are absolute trash.

Fortunately, not all of the people on here who dislike ND feel the need to flip out and bash ND and their fan base.

ncf doesn't troll because that wasn't his intention.

Touchdown Jesus? Does that mean God doesnt root for the visiting team? Doesnt sound like the God I know.
