I was reading the CBB forum and someone brought up the fact that "over half of the OSU fans on here prolly graduated from MAC schools", which I did. That got me to thinking, are there any Notre Dame grads on OC? I know that one of the more outspoken posters is in grad school at OSU (not sure where he went for undergrad), and another is an Owens Community College alum, so I was curious as to the college affiliations of some of the other more prominent Domers on here....and how they became fans of ND.

In before Sleeper--they're all bandwagon fans or offspring of bandwagon fans.

Athlete37 goes to Notre Dame. Not sure about anyone else.

How the fuck did he get in OSU Law with a ND undergrad?

Excellent.

Its very common knowledge that 99.9% of Irish "fans" did not attend ND. And 95% of that 99.9% couldn't find South Bend on a map if you gave them it was in Indiana.

Athlete37 is the only one. He graduated and goes to OSU Law now I thought.

As many know, I go to OSU. I was a pretty big fan of OSU too but that faded around the 2006 Fiesta Bowl. I still root for OSU and OSU sports that arent football. Im a HUGE Buckeye wrestling fan.

I guess I could say that I'm an Irish fan because I'm a partially-Irish Catholic who went to Catholic school for eleven years. I dont really know. I found an old Lou Holtz autographed football in our attic when I was young, and a 1932 USC-ND ticket and thought those were pretty cool. I really have no idea how it started.

Come on, man, stop derailing my thread-go somewhere else and troll.

That's pretty sweet. I talked to Lou for a minute during pregame stretches for the Sugar Bowl before they went on air. Got a pic and thanked him for hating on Mark May.

Thanks for the correction. Haven't seen any of his posts in awhile but knew he at least went there. I don't troll ND threads so not up to date.

I know zero people that go to ND. My friend got a scholarship offer from there and turned it down to go to Ohio State. Best decision of his life.

Serious question, how does your love of a team just fade away? Especially during successful times? I dunno, I just can't imagine a scenario that would make me lose the desire to support the teams I root for.

my wife is an ND grad and has a masters from OSU.

You rooted for the Cavs didn't you?

I went to Xavier. I had an opportunity that would have just about guaranteed me a spot at Notre Dame, but I was young and stupid and wanted to "do it on my own." I got put on the wait-list at ND and then ended up getting the rejection letter. The nice thing about going to Xavier is that I didn't have to feel like I had to split my allegiance since Xavier doesn't have a football team.

Ever since I was a baby, my parents had me dressed up in Notre Dame t-shirts, coats, and hats. I used to watch games on Saturday with my dad. So I guess I'd fall under the "offspring of a band wagoner" except that my dad was a fan of Notre Dame his entire life. He was accepted by Notre Dame coming out of high school, but decided to stay closer to home instead.

No, I'm a Heat fan.

I was joking. I was just pre-empting Sleeper's trolling.

Oh, I know. But I've actually heard that from people before.

he was one of the 99.9 percenters

And now you're old and stupid, since you're still a ND fan.

THAT'S THE FAULT OF THE TOWN NAMERS!!!! When I read "SOUTH Bend", I think "the south part of the state". Fuckin' Indianians...don't know directions!
