YOUR TAILGATE IS TEH SUX0RZ: NOTRE DAME

I’m so effing sick of white people bringing the worm out at every single crowded “dance circle”. There is one time I was amused by the worm, albeit only slightly, and that was during a drunk wedding in Vegas when we had the faux-double dutch going (sans ropes, hence the “faux”) and a dude jumped over the “ropes” and wormed it down the line. Slightly amusing, but so overplayed. It’s moving into “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” territory. Or “where’s the beef?”. Choose your played out joke. It belongs there. God damnit I hate white people sometimes. I’m thinking of going Brazilian, myself. Have you seen the asses on those women?

The shame. The shame. The horror. This is what happens when they try to de-emphasize drinking at my alma mater. This is one more thing we can blame Monk for.

Makes me almost want to burn my plaid pants and Navy blazer.

Good lord. Those people need some serious HELP.

As a lifelong ND fan and holder of an Undergraduate degree from said university, all I have to say is this: Kill me, please. Well, those tools first, obviously.

We’ve already been subjugated to this over on the Nd boards for three days now, and to a man, we have washed our hands of these people. Remember, ND draws from across the country, so not only do we have Jort conossieurs on our campus, we have overalls, A&F, Salvation Army, and hideous, hideous green-plaid pants dotting our campus on gamedays.

As an ND fan, I would like to toss a large, pointed rock at the vagina-pelt goatee boy for verbally fellating Lionel T. Willingham, and remind everyone that while ND may have the #3 b-school in the country, we all know what kinds of students get admitted into those programs (we’re one above MIT, that should say everything).

(It should also be noted they are in a grassy area, which means they’re not in the “cool” tailgate area, which would be the asphalt lot directly south of the stadium. TRhose f*ck-tards are exiled to across the highway, thank God. SKLM, you may fire when ready)

Where’s parking lot security when you need it.

Riding the highs of Clausen and Ragone commitments, this just knocks me off my pedestial. Thanks, Orson

and one for my homeys.

And I thought USC was having a bad week! At least those were allegations – this is actual video proof. Fucking MBA’s – damn you, damn you all to hell.

I am so utterly embarrassed by this, it’s not even funny. Look, there are some very incriminating pictures of me floating around out there (standing pantless outside Alumni Hall, kissing a 47 yr old on St. Paddy’s dat, most recently my dong’s cameo apperance at a party), but I make sure they never see the light of day, at least on the net.

What’s disturbing about this is the fact that the camera man, actually actively uploaded this to Youtube for the world to see. This implies that he is proud of this.

A tear shed for those lost.

Oh Fuck.

There really is nothing worse than a Catholic dork. All that guilt let out….in a spastic worm dance. Lose the poetry, Trotsky. And was Mrs Permanent Revolution on top of the van really necessary? Play a little game called “Make Beam and Cokes until you can’t form complete sentences” instead. Also, too much crap! That generator should be powering one thing, a TV, with or without a sattelite hookup—your choice. I was honestly expecting some Kenny Loggins from the Caddyshack soundtrack to come on next. I’m a fourth of the way to Argentine, so looks like that’s where I’m headed.

heh heh There’s a tail-gate hierarchy at NOTRE DAME! That just strikes me as hilarious.

New ‘spek for getting tossed out of a gay & lesbian midget cantina… in Manilla. Didn’t think that was even possible.

Oh my god. The horror. I can say that I witnessed that scene with my own eyes and I know several people in that video. Indeed, I was present at the recent wedding of the break dancing girl in the capris. She is a great girl, but in Notre Dame’s defense I will say this.

She is an FSU grad.

I only hope NCAA sanctions don’t come down as a result of that abomination of a tailgating party. Awful.

Before you laugh too loud and hard though, remember. The rumor is they are MBA students so they could have attended your school as an undergrad. A pox on all our houses.

Reason number 46 that I thank god I was an engineering major… Our tailgaters were the coolest!

Seriously though, this is just embarrassing. What happened to common decency, people? And Willingham? Were the grad students the last to get clued in on that train-wreck?

so…embarassed…by video….must….click…stop…

I can only hope that (besides the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow-in training) that entire spectacle’s sole purpose was a sort of protest to Willingham’s employment; a spectacle to be played out at each home game until Lionel’s presence as the head coach was terminated.

Now, having conjured up that hypothesis, I haven’t a clue (or excuse for) why the onlookers to that pitful display of prose actually applauded his “effort”.

It is not a rumor, I can confirm we were all MBA students (now graduated). I was there.

The offenders involved were MBAs. This video occurred at an MBA-sponsored tailgate. If you’ve ever met most of the MBAs, you’d know that this wasn’t out of the ordinary. They are, by and large, a degenerate bunch.

No ND undergrad with any ounce of self-respect would ever be involved in that shennanigan.

The MBA school apparently recruits Appalachian State film majors heavily.

You also omitted Charge Four: Football Ignorance, as demonstrated by the “I heart TY” shirt.

If the football players touch a “Play Like A Champion” sign before their games, I am guessing their must be some sort of “Dance Like A Honkey” sign hanging in the B school.

And by “Charge Four,” I meant “Charge Five.”

Change “their” to “there”

Yeah the I heart Ty shirt really takes the cake.

Or is it the Chicago Bulls intro music? I really can’t tell as I’m going Oedipus on my eye sockets right now.

Where was the Loggins. Playing with the boys is flagrantly omitted.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Simply awful. Simply stunning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something so white and I’ve seen a lot.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

Thank God I live below the Mason Dixon. Every girl I’ve ever seen from north of it is a cud-chewer.

Hanging. Head. In. Shame.

Wow … just … wow.

To quote Spinal Tap, “they are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry.”

Hey, idiots, yes, it’s an awful tailgate, but it’s from a couple years ago. Everyone that pointed out the Ty references should go die in a fire

That was hilarious, and even better are the comments by their fellow alumni.

I know understand completely why most every Yankee that comes South for a college football game looks around in amazement, and say, “Wow, y’all really know how to do this right.”

Thank the good lord I’m from the lovely state of Georgia.

Holy shit, THAT’S what Notre Dame people are like?!?! I don’t know which to renounce first, the Catholic Church or the white race.

Seriously, that makes the average Georgia tailgate look like a state dinner at Buckingham Palace by comparison. Or to put it another way, it was the tailgate equivalent of an Appalachian State recruitment video.

2nd Viewing Impressions:
That is some truly terrifying Honkeyjutsu. Twiggy O’Drunkley has nice legs for a 10 y/o boy. Worm-man is at an advantage with that big gut to roll around on.

The worm? Pop-locking? Break-dancing? And a horny old-white-woman grinding up on a young boy? Alright! Fighting Irish got white-soul-jungle-fever!

If it wasn’t bad enough getting spanked, gagged, humiliated and sickened by watching the USC Trojans the last for years do it to you, now you’re doing it to yourselves.

Fight On!

just shameful

God, I hope this were grad students. Because as every ND undergrad knows, the grad students are the weird ones. Can’t count on them to show up to games or act appropriately when they do. Really, its worse than the freshman…must be because they got their undergrad degree somewhere else.

what happens in South Bend, really needs to stay in South Bend.

I’m also a double-domer, and this is just gross. These might be some of the same clowns that wore the pink Irish Drinking Team t-shirts last season that refused our overtures for shotgunning beers. Leave the Linebacker Lounge at…the Linebacker Lounge.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse – here is a copy of that shitty poem!

No regular weekend
No, not one indeed
Today is our day
We’re sure to succeed
An opponent will travel
From far and from wide
The band will start playing
The fight song with pride
We’ll bring out the thunder
No small task at hand
The echoes of thousands
From cheers from the land
Build it bigger said Sorin
Father Ted helped us learn
Rock first made us Champions
Soon we will return
We bring back their vision
To this glorious place
As she stands on the dome
With passion and grace
Now GO LIGHT A CANDLE
And say some good prayers
Our lady will listen
Believe me, she cares

We are Notre Dame

i’m going to the nd/michigan game and if i see that god forsaken dance floor i will beat the life out of everyone within 25 ft. of it.

I had to stop it at the ode to Tyrone. You can’t make me watch that. I won’t let you. This solidifies all previous decisions to get the hell out of the soccer fields as quickly as possible and head directly to Joyce South.

Is this tool a future MBA student?

http://img500.imageshack.us/img500/5087/priceless1compressed4va.jpg

Worst…beer bong….ever- I mean really, does no one else think to just put a valve on those things? It makes it easier, encouraging practice, and avoiding embarassing incidents like just happened at the end of that video.

That’s a fake. I’ve seen Capricorn One. I wasn’t born yesterday. The giveaway comes halfway through the video when the camera pans and catches, in a clue worthy of Lost, some orange and blue balloons tied to (what else) a white pickup. This is an obvious Gator Fark.

Nice try, Orson. One question. What did you do with all the trailers you moved to make way for the set dressing?

I saw this video the other day, and I am embarrassed to be a South Bend resident.

Usually the quality drunk tailgaters at ND games just urinate on themselves or others, or they run around campus singing the Victory March and praising saint Weis, all the while spilling their beer on everyone as they pass by. Sometimes they even go topless (well, to be honest, unfortunately it is the men that go topless, not the ladies).

I am ashamed to be a Catholic white boy…maybe a local priest can perform an on-site tailgate exorcism next season.

I puked in my mouth when I watched that. Most ND tailgates aren’t that bad. We segregate the grad students for a reason.

God, the fucking business school.

Even Rey-rey would be in his happy place after watching that.

I want to soak my ND diploma in Jim Beam and burn it after watching that whitebread debacle. It is just more proof that ND hit rock bottom during the Ty years. Even the tailgating was embarrassing back then.

All that video needed was a bunch of drunk girls getting in a chick circle and singing “Only the Good Die Young” or “Paradise by the Dashbord Light.”

To quote my brother, who is a graduate of another lily-white Catholic University:

“Wow that makes ‘Vanilla-nova’ look like Howard.”

Watching that video (TWICE) had me laughing uncontrollably for a while, but left me in need of answers to the following questions:

a) How happy is Ty Willingham now that he is not associated with that mess anymore?

b) Are there any, at least, semi-attractive ladies in ND?

c) Should country-dancing be limited to the South, or at least to people who have a semblance of rhythm?

d) Why does ND just have one token black guy at the party?

e) I do not know who should be more offended – White people or Robots?

f) Jimmy Clausen: These are your people now: How do you like ‘em apples?

g) Is this what happens when you cannot get into the University of Chicago or Northwestern’s business schools?

I about wet myself when I read Bill’s post (15).

Somehow, crapping in coolers doesn’t seem like quite as much of a party foul any more.

“Back then”? That was a year ago!

Holy hell, that embarrasses me. I first saw that on a computer that had no sound, so when it started I couldn’t tell that they were playing standard NBA team entering theme music, and there were a couple guys chugging a handle of beam. At that point, I had no idea why everyone was calling it the Worst. Tailgater. Ever.

5 more seconds, and I was convinced. Trust me, nothing like that would’ve been tolerated when I was at ND (’93-97). Someone should submit this to student affairs, maybe some of those people are still in school, we could get them expelled.

““Back then”? That was a year ago! "

come on…give us a break. That was at least 18 months ago. Those green shirts are from the 2004 season. Unfortunately, those MBA students either graduated last year or should be graduating this month, so those people are loose without any adult supervision, possibly living in towns with more people than South Bend.

I wasn’t going to watch – damn you all. PSU nd – september 9th – it’s a 3:30pm kickoff – so tons of time for dancin’ in the mornin’. Except we serve food at our tailgates – I guess we’ll have to ship it in.

Watching that really made me think that beer might be evil – or at least outside, in the daylight – with a camera rolling. For me the worst part was the old(er) guy dancing with the anorexia girl – oh no no no no no no.

I honestly didn’t know that domers looked like that – the few I know are uber-cute – perhaps it’s just the business school – or the kelly green. Navy is so much more flattering.

I believe they were dancing the hustle.

I want a tailgate dance floor.

“Back then”? That was a year ago!

Brian, I was trying to put as much distance between the current incarnation of Fighting Irish football and the disaster that has been coined as the “Davieham Era.” I wish that the ND Athletic Department could get all Stalinist and pretend that those years didn’t exist at all.

First of all, if you come down south, girls dont sing stupid billy joel songs, they sing “Love in ya’ mouth.”

I for one welcome the ND tools to the campus of Georgia Tech this fall. I will have the camera there ready for when some bourboned up frat boys stumble into this mess of humanity and start punching skulls. I’d rather never win a game ever again than be part of this abortion of humanity.

The good news here is that there is no way any of these fools could possibly procreate and pass their jeans…er, genes, along. With hip action like that there is no chance of genital contact.

Of course, it also explains why doofuses (doofi? what is the plural?) have to go to business school — unless they are making six figures they’ll never get laid.

This could only end appropriately if there were a Jonestown style Kool-aid toast.

I’m sure the lone black guy in the video, like Tyrone Willingham, was thinking: What am I doing here? What am I doing here?

Several things to keep in mind… It is the undergrad business program at ND that’s ranked third in the country. ND is primarily an undergrad institution, and the vast majority of undergraduate students here at ND wouldn’t be caught dead at such a lame-ass tailgate. The real tail-gaters, alumni, postgrad, and undergrad students, party in the parking lots. Those business school people bring shame to an institution with a long history of excellent tailgaiting.

Christ! No wonder they dont allow people at ND games to park until saturday morning, not tailtgate during the game and force them to leave soon after the game: they are the worst tailgaters ever….

Parquet floor?

Bad dance music?

At least it looked like some of them were drinking – probably friggin passed out before gametime too…

Domers….

a) How happy is Ty Willingham now that he is not associated with that mess anymore?

Oh, come on…he didn’t see any of this or knew it was going on. This was south of the stadium…the golf course is north of the stadium.

b) Are there any, at least, semi-attractive ladies in ND?

yeah, but the cameras seem to seek out the bad ones. And really, not too many girls look good with the baggy tee-shirt on the way to a football game.

c) Should country-dancing be limited to the South, or at least to people who have a semblance of rhythm?

Country-line dancing should be limited. Period.

d) Why does ND just have one token black guy at the party?

Because the rest of the black guys are either on the football team or having a good time at a real tail gater. You think they want to be associated with this mess, especially if there’s someone taping it?

f) Jimmy Clausen: These are your people now: How do you like ‘em apples?

At least he can count on them being at all of his home games and watching his away games on national television. Can’t say that about most other schools.

g) Is this what happens when you cannot get into the University of Chicago or Northwestern’s business schools?

Gotta go somewhere to see some decent football…

grad students shouldn’t count. can we take away their right to tickets? please?

Ty Willingham buttoned up every button on his shirt, played golf in his spare (and not so spare) time, and roller-bladed around campus for exercise. If we’re going to dig into all the white guy stereotypes here, Ty was the whitest guy on campus.

Except for that guy doing the worm.

Gotta go somewhere to see some decent football…

Yes, ND ALum, may I suggest Columbus or Austin for your viewing pleasure.

That video was great but it can’t hold a candle to my friends at Applachian St.

I am officially trading in my ND tailgating card after see that. Man, I love those jort wearing Accounting types.

“Yes, ND ALum, may I suggest Columbus or Austin for your viewing pleasure.”

Ouch…now why would you go there? I was referring to University of Chicago and Northwestern as being crummy places to watch some football. Granted, Austin is one of the best college towns I have ever visited but Columbus is, well, hell on earth (unless you’re from there, in which case I’m sure its perfectly lovely place to grow up). Notre Dame is Notre Freakin’ Dame! There’s a reason we attract weirdos like this video and have die hard fans across the country.

Maybe if you had an ND MBA you’d actually have a job and wouldn’t have to sit around posting stupid commentaries

I went to Georgia Tech. We tailgate in a drive-thru restaurant parking lot and in the parking lot of our Physics building. It’s a dorkfest beyond all dorkfests.

This is 100x worse than anything I’ve ever seen at Tech. Horrid, horrid, horrid. As Orson can attest too … even the Asians at Tech who don’t know football from badmiton can get down better than that.

Better at line dancing, those Asians. Cheap dates, too—two beers and they’re stratospheric.

Looks like the stupid MBA removed it. Anyway we can watch it now?

You have die-hard fans across the country because you automatically claim all Irish, Catholic or Irish-catholic humans. (I still don’t understand why the French are bigger supporters.)

Being such a small school, ND only has a few thousand living alumni.

Well, one thing’s for sure, Clausen’s Guido hair will fit right in!

Quoting above:
“Look, there are some very incriminating pictures of me floating around out there (standing pantless outside Alumni Hall, kissing a 47 yr old on St. Paddy’s dat, most recently my dong’s cameo apperance at a party), but I make sure they never see the light of day.”
1) You did WHAT on St. Pat’s Day!?
2) The dong picture is gone

Damn, the bastards took it down.

As a USC fan I need to see this and have something to brighten up my week. Is this up anywere else on the net?

Hey Like I said, the cool kids party in the South Joyce and Senior Bar parking lots. No self-respecting undergrad would be caught dead with those fucking losers. At the end of my 4 years of tailgating, I remember asking my friend one day where he’d been tailgating, and he said “by the soccer fields.” To which I replied “There’s a soccer field around here? Who the fuck wants to go that far away to drink when you can do it under the watchful eye of Touchdown Jesus?”

He was a dork.

Yeah Stacey, when Ty was shopping for his latest pair of Rollerblades or those fuzzy things you put on the heads of golf clubs he was positively freaked out about how ‘white’ Notre Dame is.

Ummm…since when does Notre Dame have the best B-school in the country?

Does The Hague recognize hate crimes against one’s own race? Cause, God, I have to go cracka’ killin’.

If they cannot find the video I am sure that the guys from the House that Rock Built or Blue Grey Sky will happily reenact it for us. Orson can join in the role of the Flat-Assed Girl in Tevas.

Sure. We do a mean Robot.

Update:

There is a GOD…he spared us from having to further view the ghastly carnage that is that video.

54

For me the worst part was the old(er) guy dancing with the anorexia girl – oh no no no no no no.

I believe that guy has donated over 50 million to ND.

Wow, you spent a lot of time ripping on people drunk before 9am. Where your lonely morning masturbation video from 9:30 am November 1, 2003?

And as far as i remember, there wasn’t any production team for that video. Just one drunken idiot’s camerawork (and screaming) with some gay-ass titles in the beginning.

But seriously, quoting henry V while critiquing a home video of a tailgate party!?!? Inadequacy + overspending on a useless Liberal Arts Education + Desperate need for attention + fear of human interaction = relentless internet critiquer of stranger’s videos.

You need an intervention.

http://static.flickr.com/56/139261616_5f26acd623_o.jpg

That wasn’t God. God would’ve stopped it from happening.

The Vatican had that video pulled.

Establishment, we were on scholarship, we’ll have you know. The taxpayers paid for our four years of glorious football.

I didn’t see this post until today and now the video won’t work. But from the comments, alone, I think I have a pretty good sense of what’s gone on here, and I just want to say that abortion should definitely be legal. We don’t need so many awkward white people doing so many awkward white person things.

I guess I should amend that until “just now” as this was posted earlier today.

Charge Five: Humorlessness. See posts #68 and 84, supra.

Joey, you didn’t miss much. Imagine your Penn dancer only whiter and wearing green.

As an Irish Catholic who hates ND I resent the repeated lumping of all catholics in with those people (ND fans, not the tailgaters). Also, I don’t think too many MBA students look at religion when picking a program.

This is the only appropriate answer to your tripe:

Scene: Weis is escorted into the room by White. Ty Willingham, Bob Davie and Urban Meyer are already seated)

Weis: Let me have your attention for a moment! So you’re talking about what? You’re talking about…(spits out his gum)…bitching about that win you blew against Pittsburgh, Erik Lorig doesn’t want to visit, the schedule is too hard, Gary Berry doesn’t want what you’re selling, you’re trying to screw Joe Moore and so forth. Let’s talk about something important. Are they all here?

White: All but one who is coaching at Central Florida and doing a good job Monday through Sunday.

Weis: Well, I’m going anyway. Let’s talk about something important! (to Davie) Put that clipboard down!! Clipboard’s for closers only. (Davie scoffs) Do you think I’m fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. I’m here from New England. I’m here from Jenkins and Affleck-Graves. And I’m here on a mission of mercy. Your name’s Davie?

Davie: Yeah.

Weis: You call yourself a coach, you son of a bitch?

Willingham: As I understand it, I am discouraged but not disappointed and I don’t have to listen to this shit.

Weis: You certainly don’t pal. ‘Cause the good news is — you’re fired. (to Davie) The bad news is you’re a lousy announcer and Texas A&M already has a coach. (to Willingham) Willingham, you’ve got one shot to coach Washington and keep your job, starting tonight. Starting with tonights in home visits. Maybe make one or two offers before June. Oh, have I got your attention now? Good. ‘Cause we’re adding a little something to this years BCS contest. As you all know, first prize is a national championship. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize’s a house in South Ben that you won’t be able to sell. Third prize is you’re fired. You get the picture? You’re laughing now? Is Kirk Herbstreit your man? You got prospects. You want an interview with John Saunders? Jenkins and Affleck-Graves paid good money. They made the jet available. Get out there and sign blue chippers! You can’t close the prospects you’re given, you can’t close shit, you ARE shit, hit the bricks pal and beat it ’cause you are going out!!!

Willingham: Well, the system is complex, and if I understand correctly, we are no more than five plays away from implementing that system, but the players are aware of their shortcomings and that has been explained to them and the staff is cognizant of that fact and is endeavoring to conclude in a positive way, but that is a mixed bag of blessings…

Davie: The players are weak.

Weis: ‘The players are weak.’ Fucking players are weak? You’re weak. I’ve been in this business fifteen years. I won with your players.

Willingham: What’s your name?

Weis: FUCK YOU, that’s my name!! You know why, Mister? ‘Cause you drove a three wood tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar Hummer with a Gold ND on the side. That’s my name!! (to Urban) And your name is “you’re wanting.” And you can’t play in a man’s game. You can’t close on offensive linemen. (at a near whisper) And you go home and tell your wife your troubles. (to everyone again) Because only one thing counts in this life! Wins! Get them to sign on the line which is dotted! You hear me, you fucking faggots?

(Weis flips over a blackboard which has two sets of letters on it: ABC, and AIDA.)

Weis: A-B-C. A-always, B-be, C-closing. Always be closing! Always be closing!! A-I-D-A. Attention, interest, decision, action. Attention — do the alumni have your attention? Interest — is Brian Toal interested? I know you are because it’s fuck or walk. You win or you hit the bricks! Decision — has Ryan Baker made his decision for Christ Sake?!! And action. A-I-D-A; get out there!! You got the prospects comin’ in; you think they came in to get out of the rain? Guy doesn’t visit the campus unless he wants to play. Sitting out there waiting for you to get back from a quick round of nine! Are you gonna make it back? Incarnato’s family waits around for someone to show up to open the fucking office! Are you man enough to take it? (to Willingham) What’s the problem pal? You. Chauncey.

Willingham: You’re such a hero, you’re such a genius. There is a certain segment of our fans who believe winning is important. I deal with it every day and that is very costly with the proliferation of recruiting and making improvements in certain areas. Why you coming down here and waste your time on a bunch of bums as that does offer some nice options for our guys?

(Weis sits and takes off his super bowl ring)

Weis: You see this ring? You see this super bowl ring?
Willingham: I have a clearer picture of it in my mindset, yes.

Weis: That super bowl ring is more important than your house. I made Maurice Stovall $1,000,000 last year. How much did you make him? I turned Brady Quinn into a household name. You see, pal, that’s who I am. And you’re nothing. Nice guy? I don’t give a shit. Good father? Fuck you — go home and play with your kids!! Molder of men? Send a few to the pros!! (to everyone) You wanna work here? Win!! (to Urban) You think this is abuse? You think Wenger and Young was abuse, you cocksucker? You can’t take this — how can you take the abuse you get?! You don’t like Lorenzo Edwards and Major Wright coming north? — leave. I can go out there tonight with the players I’ve got and whip your ass. 9 wins is not enough to make a team a champion! Can you? Can you? Go and do likewise! A-I-D-A!! Get mad! You sons of bitches! Get mad!! You know what it takes to win?

(He pulls something out of his briefcase)

Weis: It takes nasty brass balls to win at ND.
(He’s holding two brass balls on string, over the appropriate “area”—he puts them away after a pause)

Weis: Go and do likewise, gents. The recruits are out there, you pick them up, they’re yours. You don’t—I have no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those home visits tonight and close, close, they’re yours. If not, you’re going to be shining my shoes. Bunch of losers sitting around in a kid’s living room, refusing to leave and staring at him with a blank expression on your face. (in a mocking weak voice) “Oh yeah, I used to be a head coach, it’s a tough racket.” (he takes out large stack of red index cards tied together with string from his briefcase with names on them like Ragone, Trattou and Kamara) These are the new kids. These are the New Jersey recruits. And to you, they’re gold. And you don’t get them. Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. (he hands the stack to White) They’re for closers.

I’d wish you good luck but you wouldn’t know what to do with it if you got it. (to Willingham as he puts on his watch again) And to answer your question, pal: why am I here? I came here because Jenkins and Affleck-Graves asked me to, they asked me for a favor. I said, the real favor, follow my advice and fire your fucking ass because a loser is a loser.
(He stares at Willingham for a sec, and then picking up his briefcase, goes into inner office with White)

Maybe if you had an ND MBA you’d actually have a job and wouldn’t have to sit around posting stupid commentaries

So the fact that you have time to sit around and respond to those commentaries means… what, exactly?

Just kidding. You looked H-O-T-T doing the worm.

I can’t speak for the MBA Guido’s here at UF, but the graduate students in the College of Liberal Arts can attend a tailgate without shit like that breaking out. I’ve even pushed back getting my MA to the Fall so I can squeeze another football season out of Hogtown (Year 7!)

However, what does this mean?

f) Jimmy Clausen: These are your people now: How do you like ‘em apples?

At least he can count on them being at all of his home games and watching his away games on national television. Can’t say that about most other schools.

What other big-time programs (excepting Miami, as always) don’t sell out their home games and watch his away games on national television?

Christ, you couldn’t tell I actually write for multiple hours a day. That looks like I attend FSU

Claiming the “#3 B-school” in the country is a little like claiming to have designed Britney Spears’ third classiest outfit. Oh, and ND is third, just behind (according to USNWR) Harvard, Stanford, Penn, MIT, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Berkeley, Chicago, Columbia, Michigan, Duke, UCLA, NYU, UVa, Cornell, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, Emory, Texas, Washington, tOSU, UNC, Purdue, Minnesota, Rochester, USC, Georgetown, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Arizona State (and tied with Georgia Tech, Michigan State, Texas A&M, and WashU). That’s two, right? Oh, in Indiana.

GG,GR, the comment was long…and brilliant.

“Fuck you, that’s my name” really should be a part of the everyday vernacular.

AHHHHHHHH, my eyes, they are burning!!!!!!! The link has been restored…proof that evil really does win over good every time.

“…because good is dumb.”

Being drunk is no excuse for that behavior.

I don’t know what’s worse. The girl doing (or shall I say attempting to do) the “Robot”, or the fact people were cheering her on in a serious manner.

Just saw the video again. Awesome.

This has got to be the POST OF THE YEAR!

It would have been perfect if Chris “You’re with me, Leather” Berman were down there trying to pick up on some of the more inebriated ladies, during one of those ESPN stinkin’ pre-game shows.

I believe that guy has donated over 50 million to ND.

okay, now that’s the worst part.

Orson,

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a more lame tailgater at a D1 school. I look forward to your weekly updates come September.

I believe previous posters were not being clear. ND’s UNDERGRAD business program was ranked third, according to business weel.

Link here:

http://bwnt.businessweek.com/bschools/undergraduate/06rankings/

No PSUGirl, the worst part is that the b-school is named after him. And he looks like he’s trying to hook up with Skeletor there.

And Statprof, you’re right, my bad, we’re #3 UNDERgrad b-school. Nice of you to be an asshole and research it for me.

Absolute abomination. All these losers chould be flogged and sent to confession (do catholics self-mutilate, if so then 50 lashes for each of you).

Thanks for making my week a little better after all the crap coming out of SC.

Classic.

While in no way attempting to defend the video, I find it hard to believe that attrocities of this sort do not occur regularly at most D-1 games each fall. I know we ND folk can be pretty lame at times (and often deserve some of the shit you all bring up) but every school has goobers like this.

I never saw this type of thing in person while tailgating at ND, as I was out in the cemetary smoking dope while avoiding the ROTC Nazis, but I am confident it still happened.

I defy you to tell me this isn’t the case at most other schools as well…

I am literally horrified. I’ve been to South Bend and know that it’s a pit of the ungodly (how paradoxical), but I had no idea that it was this bad. (I was at a tailgate with Bill Martin and the Alumni Association at which we saluted Lloyd Carr by watching a highlight reel of his greatest decisions to punt.)

It probably is, but being scientific, we can’t confirm this theory without evidence. Notre Dame’s just the first to end up on YouTube.

That said, we should take our shots while we can, with Weis carving up passing records and ND all but guaranteed a slot in the BCS. There won’t be much else to poke fun at for years if Charlie keeps it below three hundred pounds.

If I ever see any of those people near my next tailgate, I’m going to throw them onto the Beirut table, and beat them senseless. Not really, because that would be a waste of a perfectly good Beirut table.

Here’s Tom Mendoza when he’s not trying to hook up:

http://investors.netapp.com/bios.cfm

http://www.gartner.com/research/fellows/fellows_interview_gil_shwed_tom_mendoza.jsp

To quote a classic SNL skit:
“We’re white guys, we’re extremely white. We walk with our buttocks extremely tight.”

As Charlie Weis said “You are what you are”

Statprof, the #3 ranking is for the undergraduate business school.

Hey Wooderson,

If you ask me, the asshole move is using an undergrad ranking and trying to pawn it off as a grad school accolade.

He looked it up not to double-check you (anyone who knows anything about business knew you were wrong anyway)… he just wanted to call you out with the correct information.

No, I can assure you, this DOESN’T happen at every school. At FSU at least, our tailgates have more in common with the Filipino midgets than the Catholic Shame (their stage name).

Are Fulmer Cup points awarded for crimes against humanity?

Even after watching that I’m still glad that I didn’t go to BC.

Speaking on behalf of all people of color…that may be the whitest thing I’ve ever seen!

I don’t think that kid funnelling the beer had ever done that before. Did anyone notice the dude wearing the pink plastic hat?

Hey matt, at BC they don’t tailgate because you have to park like 3 towns over and take a bus to the game. In that case it appears nothing is better than something.

The only thing that could have made that worse would have been seeing those yahoos dance/sing:

“YMCA” by the Village People
“Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw” by Jimmy Buffett
“Future’s so Bright, I gotta wear shades” by whoever
“Hot Hot Hot” by whoever
“Love Shack” by the B-52s
“Let’s Get it started” by the Black Eyed Peas
“Who Let The Dogs Out” baha Men
Sadly, pretty much the entire pre-1970s Motown catalog
The Macarena, The Electric Slide, the Achy-Breaky

Ben,

I am an Idiot. what can I say, I didn’t go to business school, I therefore can’t count.

But the asshole move is listing every single school in front of our grad school. Simply saying “You’re not #3, you’re #30” would have sufficed.

re: post 121
“Future’s So Bright” was by the immortal “Timbuk 3” who, by the way, have actually played at ND (An Tostal 1991! Rock on!). That doesn’t help our case any here, but…

“Hot Hot Hot”

Did you HAVE to remind me of the Godawful App. State video, which someone in their marketing department thought was actually a GOOD idea?

Are we sure these aren’t scenes from the Revenge of the Nerds remake?

I enjoyed picking out the pink fedoras that kept showing up.

Did I just get served?

Who would have thought it possible for someone to make us look (much, much) worse than that child-molesting priest who was photographed outside the courthouse wearing an ND sweatshirt a couple months back?

Things to acquire for next year’s tailgate:

dance floor
lots of uncoordinated white people
fans wearing NFL attire
skinny bitches
mustachioed poets and spouses

It looks like my “to do” list shrunk considerably.

Damn, and Dante from Clerks wasn’t even supposed to BE there that day! Nice poem, toolbox.

That these people exist should clear up any confusion or conflict over why abortion should be legal. Had their parents made that proper decision 20-something years ago, the world would be a better place.

Could someone please clarify for me: is it ND’s undergraduate or graduate business school that’s ranked No. 3 by a glossy newsmagazine?

Wooderson:

I am an Idiot. what can I say, I didn’t go to business school, I therefore can’t count.

But the asshole move is listing every single school in front of our grad school. Simply saying “You’re not #3, you’re #30? would have sufficed.

But so much less entertaining. And, to help with that counting, ND’s in a five-way tie for #32, actually!

Wow. GG, Gr had Weis channeling Orgeron. Did he tell them to remove their balls and put them in a box unless they were going to use them?

I went to ND and most of us can’t dance that well.

Seriously, thanks a lot. I’m going to go light myself on fire now.

I glad Simmons could stop by again.

The only thing that could have made this better if it was the game where BC beat the echoes back down.

Somehow these douche puppets managed to ruin one of the 6 days a year where South Bend only sucks moderately.

I don’t get the embarrassment by ND Alumni. Tailgates of this magnitude are rare and people this out of control should be applauded. Where can I download an admissions application?

oren (#131,

it’s the undergrad b-school.

Point 1 – Can we please not assume that MBA students are representative of ALL graduate students? MBAs are tools anywhere you go, but there are many grad students who can have a good time without doing THAT…

Point 2 – Where do I sign up for the Dave Chappelle/Tiger Woods/Wu-Tang Clan Racial Draft? After seeing that, I want out of being White.

GG GR:

Very creative adaptation of one of my favorite movies, Glengarry Glen Ross. Just some cast changes:

- Urban Meyer as “Ricky Roma” (the Al Pacino character in the movie)

- Charles Weis as “Shelly The Machine” Levene (Jack Lemmon, movie) Until he at least beats a top 25 team, I would not give him the Blake (Alec Baldwin) role.

The bonehead who gave millions to the school and is then seen dancing like a dork (twirling himself around) with a dorkette ought to have his name removed from the school.

Suggestion: When the holier than thou Domers come to your school for a football game in the future, it would be cool to re-enact the scene, parquet floor, robot dancing, “I heart Ty” tee-shirt, poetry reading, bad-hat wearing….in all of its glory, during the halftime show. The local university dorkiest dorks would be welcome to dance their heinies away. (Yes, that would include law school types too.)

GG/GR,

Wow! Did you just watch the movie before reading this blog? Your synapse fired a hail mary. From painfully tasteless party tricks to ND coaching staff renactment of Glen Gary Glen Ross. If you have these type of thoughts often, please, bring back Ren & Stimpy.

Good God, please post something else so the wounds can begin to heal.

I always thought those MBAs were a little… off.

Now I have proof.

The law school tailgates don’t involve a parquet floor or dancing of any kind. However, this video still makes me wish I wasn’t a white Notre Dame student.

What amazes me most, however, is the sheer number of people who stood there, not just enthralled by the embarassing display, but actually CHEERING.

That video makes the baby jesus cry.

Fucking fuck ass shit piss, I didn’t have audio the first time I watched it and now that I have the sound on I couldn’t even get past the broken robot chick/swim-worm portion to even HEAR the awful poem. I’m losing soul every time that video is played, I swear. God damn Notre Dame. God damn them every one.

This seems like appropriate payback for years of racism towards minorities. I think all people are now officially equal again.

Re: 108

Thinking about this horrendous display as a possibility at my own school, I could only think one thing: (paraphrasing Lawrence from Office Space)

"No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked doin’ something like that, man.

you’re with me, leather.

-Chris Berman

If this is limited to just the MBA students, it would appear that ND is not very selective given the sheer number of people surrounding this train wreck.

And is it just me, or does the break dancing dude in the #34 jersey look like he shat in his pants before his routine?

In thinking about this some more I realized that this is the single strongest argument on behalf of academic affirmative action that I’ve ever run across. Heck, as far as I’m concerned it could be used as the basis for excluding certain people from universities….

hey, no one got arrested, shot, beaten, cut, stabbed, no police were called in, nobody disrespeted any other clique, nobody had to keep it real, – what’s the problem?

“…what’s the problem?”

As Louis Armstrong said, if you gotta ask you ain’t never gonna know. It’s a zen thing.

My eyes are on fire…..that was horrible.

As a proud ND UNDERGRAD alum I refuse to believe that actually occurred at ND. I will file that in the black hole that has been ND football since 1993 (right before the BC game anyway).

Thank God that isn’t currently a crime or ND would be hands down winners of the Fulmer Cup.

Is the guy in the No Peace jersey Frank Trigg?

I first wached the disaster of a movie this morning and had to ruminate on it’s shittiness all day long, until I forced myself to watch a second viewing of that debacle.

I, for one, am ashamed to be both white, and from the midwest. I also believe I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

May god have mercy on their souls….

The dancing man in this video is Tom Mendoza, ND undergrad and $35 million donor with his name on the building. And this was not an MBA sponsored tailgate, they are located on campus and don’t even have alcohol, they are more alumni/family oriented.

Its Ty’s fault.

Not only did football games suck when he was coach, but tailgates obviously did too.

I just vomited on myself. That whole scene was disgusting.

Re 148:

Yes, this is limited to the MBAs. I am an ND grad and current engineering grad student, and the tailgates I attend (both grad and alumni) only have beer, brats, and bags.

I take delight in the juice of the barley,
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

okay, taking the contrary view here…at least there were tons of people out drinking and having a good time before a football game. I’m thinking half the people here would be bragging if they had a video of the namesake of their school at their tailgater, looking like he’s having a good time. Granted, it was a pretty poor display, but at least it was more than just a bunch of fat guys, standing in a circle, taking turns shotgunning beers. And frankly, there shouldn’t be any crap coming from BC fans. Having been to a BC football game, tailgating is non-existent except in parking lots that are no where near Boston (not that its saying much since Boston College isn’t in Boston).

MORE COMMENTS!!!

It’s Ty’s fault?LOL Ohhh… how whitey of white of you.. Blame the only Black guy within 10 miles around for that?? Isn’t that ironic— Maybe he did teach those buggers how to dance.

If this doesn’t explain why Elvis had to steal music and dancing from Black people then I guess nothing ever will.

“No Peace” is known as the Manimal.

We should not be blaming Notre Dame here. These douches likely did not go to Notre Dame for undergrad. The real blame lies in their undergraduate institutions where they were allowed to develop these habits without being verbally or physically assaulted. Merely enrolling in graduate school at ND and putting on a green shirt does not magically repair years of unabated douchebaggedness.

158 Responses!! That says a lot, noth the least of which is that if you are number 159, ain’t nobody gonna read it nohow. Be that as it may, I would respectfully observe the following.

If, after watching the Notre dame tailgait thing, you were not an ND fan, you never will be again. Think about it….

that beer bong was the weakest thing i’ve ever seen.

That guy in the Thurman Thomas jersee makes Carlton Banks look black.

Yikes…double yikes. If you’re smart enough to make enough to donate $35MM to your alma mater…how can you not be smart enough to avoid this shit? Or possibly have the man with the recording erased.

As a life-long LSU fan and big time tailgater, I’ve always hadd this innate feeling that I was superior. Call it faith. Watching this video was like a Christian seeing the face of God – or more aptly, Satan. I know now I am indeed part of a superior tailgating school.

The MBAers may or may not have gone to other undergrad schools, but I didn’t hear any shitty poems about the Bulldogs or the Billikens.

Wow. So much finger-pointing. Listen up, kids: I was at that tailgate. Let me clue you in on a few points:

1. The dancing middle-aged guy is indeed Tom Mendoza, and unlike a previous claim, this tailgate WAS sponsored by the MBA association, it was NOT on campus, and there WAS alcohol there. A lot. Fortunately for me, I had enough sense to stay the hell away from the camera. Though I am white and lame, I, apparently, do still have my wits about me when I’m drunk. Good for me.
2. If indeed there were any serious crimes committed, it was primarily the act of being caught on camera. Everything else, while appalling, is, sadly, drunken white behavior.
3. Yes, drunken white people are lame. You’re all acting like it’s some sort of earth-shattering revelation. Here’s a clue: every white person who posted to this board and mustered their best indignation is a transparent hypocrite. Admit it: you’re lame when you’re drunk too. You just have enough sense to stay away from cameras when you commit your own crimes against all that is decent.

All that being said, those are some of the most painful minutes I have spent in front of my computer lately. I am shocked at just how appalling this kind of behavior looks from the outside.

You guys are being pretty harsh…Honestly, if you were WASTED at 9 am, wouldn’t some of this look pretty damn funny to you?

It appears as though when looking back at the 94-04 football seasons, football won’t be Notre Dame’s only black eye. Furthermore, it appears as though said black eye will be the only thing of color associated with the era.

It was a shitty poem about Willingham. That should be grounds for public stoning.

Sadly, it could be worse…

http://tinyurl.com/zaema

I have no idea who they are, but they’re apparently former Greeks, and thus, I have assurance they are not ND alumni…

That’s the #3 undergrad B-school in the country! We’re in big, big trouble.

Only at ND would the girls wear baggy T-shirts to a game. In the South, football is a religion, and we dress appropriately. Of course, it’s a good thing most of the girls don’t wear the same dresses to church. There’s nothing more displeasing than a pastor with an erection.

It is a documented fact. ND has flat assed, flat chested, pasty faced women.

In a contest for SAT scores, they rock. In a beauty pagent, they take the Alpo honerable mention ribbon home.

As I recall from my ND undergrad experience, The Shirt (as the annual student shirt is referred to) used to be sold only in size XL. This may explain why the shirts were so baggy on the girls in question.

Or, really, they may just be jumbo-sized business women-to-be who got their undergrad degrees from BC and worked out their catharses about rejection from ND by piggy-backing on to its business school (tied for 32nd, apparently, according to…Some Magazine).

don’t know what’s better, the video or the serious debate amongst Domers deciding whether or not it was the B School or the Undergrads who took turns taking a dump on the proverbial Four Horseman.

Quite frankly, I don’t care if it was the Semi-Annual Janitor’s Dance-Off (although I would have to think they would have better moves) the thing is and was a savage abomination. Or more plainly put, it was AWESOME!

Nothing left to add. I’m embarrassed to be white. Fortunately I’m dark enough to pass as Iranian. Thanks ND.

Oh and you left “play that funky music white boy” and “wings beneath your wings” off the wedding song list.

As an ND alum, I have to admit I was so embarrased by this clip that I could not watch the whole thing. I feel a need to respond to the t-shirts comment, though. It’s not as though ND fans wear some random t-shirt to the games. Instead, we wear “The Shirt” which unites the Irish faithful. Have you not seen how incredible the ND student section looks during the game? Also, proceeds from the project support charities, student organizations, and scholarship programs. I would argue that wearing a shirt which shows support for your team is more appropriate than wearing a dress which causes pastors to have erections.

Here is more information on The Shirt: http://theshirt.nd.edu/about.html#beginning

By the way, any and all MBA students are now banned from my tailgates.

I will be bringing a weapon to defend my tailgate from any ND folks. No ND MBA students this fall at my tailgate. Unless they have big boobies.

Easy to see why a fanbase still stinging from Ron Zook’s shakedown of a silver-spooned frat would be sensitive to tailgating and party protocols (not to mention that Danny “freakin’” Wuerffel is literally your blog posterboy), but seriously, Domer undergrads, you should know better. Your need to discuss rankings and academics at the drop of a hat is amusing, but so be it. Congratulations, you just brought a knife to a gun fight.

Anybody that knows anything about ND undergrad knows two things: First, that while its recent students have adopted their “pillar of academics” attitude, somehow justified by their remarkable 18th place standing, not a single one of them has ever been in a street fight. Ever. Come on, do us all a favor and drop the tired “we’re smarter than you” mantra because it’s obviously not impressing the pollsters. It’s like trying to convince the BCS that Boise St. belongs. Nickel please! Secondly, while the clowns in this video may not be your style, they’re certainly not slobknobbing Daddy McWarbucks in Senior Bar parking lot just for a job. Leave your tuff stuff cyberchat for Katy McBullshit or Sarah O’Suckit’s broke ass. After all, while you were busy taking off your backpack so as not to struggle with the grueling push-up regimen demanded during the Holtz, Davie, and Ty 10 ppg. blitzkriegs, these guys were carrying your wrecked trolls home for a jerseys-only party.

Like Tupac even needed to ask, “Wonder why they call you bitch?”

that’s “Mister”, bitch.

P.S. – UF, you can keep Urban.

The apologists for the tailgate say as much about their school’s gameday atmosphere as the video itself.

‘At least people show up before the game and have fun,’ seems to be the common refrain. Tailgating isn’t the SAT. You don’t get 400 points (600 now?) for showing up.

Besides, from what I can gather, they barely make it before the game. I think someone siad there is no tailgating allowed until gameday. If true, that alone should be enough to get a school knocked down to 1-AA.

They are enjoying themselves, but I think 90% of the people on this planet that would consider that a good tailgate were located within a half-mile of the dancefloor.

Well…

THAT ought to take care of 2007 recruiting.

I was SO hoping the poet and/or his wife was gonna pull out a life jacket and jump off of the truck.

What’s with the undergrad NDamers hating the ND MBAs?

I bet most undergrad NDamers could not even get into ND’s MBA program – even though it is ranked 30+ or something.

Take the opposite tack, Domer Nation, and embrace the geeks from the Tom ‘dances like a sissy’ Mendoza School of Bidniss at ND and say:

“They may be a-holes, but at least they are our a-holes!”

Dozens of people enjoying themselves at a party. Drinking, dancing, socializing, and loud noises. Why am I not surprised that dozens of Internet chumps feel the need to mock it. But hey, take comfort in the fact that people you’ll never meet agree with you and can also make sarcastic one-liners. I’d rather have friends.

As a current undergrad it is our right to trash these honky grad students. The fact that most current ND undergrads could not get into ND grad schools is irrelevent for two reasons – 1) no one wants to be a double domer – who could spend more than 4 years of their life in south bend and 2) ND tries hard to limit the amount of double domers so that they can diversify their alumni so they can get more donations.

That was terrible. That is not indicative at all of what a football weekend at ND is like. That is a bunch of kids who had no fun in undergrad and now are trying to catch up for lost time. I’m embarassed to even be associated with those ass clowns.

By the way – Mendoza College of Business (ND undergrad business school) was just ranked third in the country. So not only are the undergrads infinately cooler than the grad kids – we’re also smarter.

You know the real sad part? Some of you pricks will be Yes sirring or yes mamming these dildos in a few years. You will be working for them. Ha Ha Ha

dragonash, you are assuming that we all went to schools that are not as good as ND. thankfully, you are incorrect.

Must…Get…200…

As an ND b-school grad myself (many years prior), I can tell that we were dorks back then as well, but thankfully, we knew where to draw the line. Our dorkiness was displayed only in private, not on the world wide web. Now everyone knows….

Play the fight riff!

Man, I’ve heard of dorky but this shit is just wrong. If you want to see how a tailgate is really done, go to any PSU game. I hated Notre Dame before, but I hate them so much more. And what gets me about the video is A) the loser who says dude we have to document this near the beginning and B) the girl who was like “did you see that, did you see that.” Yes, hunnie we saw that, we saw that along with your awkward whiteness. I’m going to go cleanse my eyes out now so I don’t remember the atrocity and disservice I just spent nearly 5 minutes watching.

in the same vein as that prior Chappelle’s show reference, I got $5 says theonyl black dude in the video knows all the words to “every rose has its thorn”…cause they play it non-stop in south bend bars. Seriously though, thatm usic is all they ever play in the Bend, so it’s not like we’ve got much else to fall back on.

Lighten up Eric(#197) you to Stacy. The PSU game this year will be an ugly loss for your team Eric. If I were you I would start talking smack about the 2007 game verses ND, you might have a chance. It will be at PSU and we will be very young team.

Woohoo I got #200, nothing really to add……. well ok, that was horrible and if they are wearing green and are at a ND tailgate, you pretty much have to credit them to ND….. now hang your heads in shame!

I saw worse when I was doing my time at ND.

200 replies? On a site that isn’t about politics? That has to be a record. Orson and Stranko, my hat is always off, but now it’s no longer even in my immediate vacinity. You’re kings among kings: the Ghostface Killah and Phonte Coleman of the college-football blogosphere. The Greg Oden and Kevin Durant; the curry mustard and honey mustard; the Michael and Marcus Vick—er, nevermind.

And btw, that under-one-minute poem reminds me of the freestyle that Ali G busted over that accoustic-guitar beat he was using while at the anti-nuclear-weapon protest in the desert.

Wow, fellow domers, that was hideous. Just because “We is” back is no excuse for that display. Its time for those tailgaters to go underground.
Dave Collier ’67

I was at that tailgate and know most of the people in it. For those of you who are either ashamed ND undergrad alums or just believe that this atrocity could only happen in the silos of ND grad school, let me just say this. The major players in that video, namely the thin dancing girl and the two guys doing the worm, are all double domers… the robot dancer and the embarrassing bong guy were never even students at ND. You can blame other institutions on them.

the only thing that could have made that worse is a girl sweating out of her ass…oh wait

Bad football begets bad tailgating.

On that basis, I expect Bourbon Street-style bacchanalia this year all the way up to January 8th.

Besides, I’m sure Charlie’s on top of the situation and will not allow this sort of thing to continue — it hampers recruiting.

While I regret our grad students giving us a bad name, I take solace in the fact that ND will obliterate all the naysayers where it counts: on the field.

See you (well, a few of you) in Tempe.

Most of those in the video weren’t MBA students but undergrads and alums crashing. The real disturbing thing is that tailgate was the envy of Notre Dame. There’s not much to do in South Bend and the women… let’s just say the options are limited so what do you expect from a bunch of people trapped in purgatory? Binge drinking, that’s what. And I’d like to remind all of you that there were grads from Florida, michigan, BC, Penn State, Alabama, and host of other schools, so it could have been you…. Religious conservatism, alcohol and boredom drive people to do ugly things, luckily it’s all on video. Thanks Chad.

Here is Weis’ next pep talk, just before the Domers take the field:

“…..and beat the hell out of _ (insert college here) like they were ND-MBA tailgaters!!!…

and if any of YOUS makes a boneheaded play, you will be sent to their next tailgate party and must dance with Robot Girl.."

That speech would surpass the “win one for the Gipper” in ND lore…..

The guy reading the poem is a Double Domer, so you undergrads can’t disown him.

Someone sent this video to all the new MBAs as a way to “entice” us to go to the tailgates. It scared the crap out of me instead.

Excuse me, but did we serve together in the Selous Scouts back in Rhodesia? Or perhaps Malaysia? That being said, well done, very well done… you good sir are now famous in the ND circles.

JQP

Good Greif! What a bunch of hypocritical snobs. It is just a freaking tailgate, not Shakespeare. I guess none of you never had fun drinking a little too much. And you all are poet laureates and make your living singing and dancing.
If this is the worst behavior you can find at a ND tailgate then ND must have about the best fans in the country.
It is a real shame none of you have your singing and dancing on film to see how insipid you are.

I’ve been reading the comments on this since it went up, but have been at a client that blocks “fun” things and have been unable to watch. However, I have switched locations.

Let me say: Jaw on the table… eyes burning… make it stop… and THE POEM… who the fuck writes a poem and reads it at a tailgate?? What a pretentious, “look at me, I’m a douche bag” thing to do. I have never – in my 4 years of school and the 4 seasons’s since – seen anything so horrific.

I’d rather be known for the rude and offensive redneck fans that throw trash cans at Miami players and set fire to furniture then be known for THAT! God Bless WVU.

That said, I have a business degree (undergrad, mind you), and feel a little sad and ashamed of myself right now.

8. “Ballroom Blitz,” Sweet. Yep. That one is on the Universal White People Soundtrack too.

Sad that I recognized that one.

Three words:

NO. ORANGE. CAMO.

Case closed.

I’m digging into my heritage as I type. I [i]think[/i] I can claim African heritage if I trace my roots back to, oh, the Neolithic era. Believe me, it would be worth it just to avoid being linked to the white-crap-tacular display I just witnessed at that “party”.

Poetry, indeed….

This is a different take on whitey tailgating.

A domer friend of mine has been trying to convince me to a game at South Bend, and I’ve somehow always had something better to do. Not anymore – I am so there this year. I have to witness this first hand. One question though, is it appropriate to wear jorts in South Bend after Labor Day?

Please add in the previous post.

I can’t wait until Sept. 9th when Penn State fans will join us here in South Bend with their own uniques style of tailgating featuring:

- Chubbies drinking Bud Light
- Guy playing guitar a la Animal House
- Coed choking on 1" long brat
- Parents of undergrads trying to relive college days by taking shots of Gordon’s Vodka watered down with triple sec and sour mix.
- Guy hosting tailgate captured sitting down without beer in hand

For all those disowning the MBAs, I’m not the original poster of that comment, but I was at the tailgate and can vouch for everything said in that quote. Every alum, undergrad (yes, ND undergrad was amply represented both by alums and then-current undergrads), law student and townie who passed by joined in, as evidenced by the overflowing crowd that was greater in number than the entire MBA program. Everyone there was having a good time tailgating and that’s all that matters.

Some other points:
1. The dancing girl in capris was not an FSU grad. It was some other person visiting who wasn’t associated with ND MBA.
2. Some of the posts both here and on edsbs.com are inconsistent, with some saying that the MBAs all came from “nerdier” undergrads and others saying the MBAs all came from less academically prestigious colleges and universities in order to explain why ND undergrads can’t be faulted. Well, in addition to the fact that some of the key players came from ND, it’s inconsistent since some MBAs came from lower-ranked undergrad programs while others came from ones that are higher-ranked (yes, they do exist). Therefore, it’s pretty tough to accuse the group of being too stupid to know better AND too smart and nerdy to be cool enough not to participate, given the above.

As a card carrying member of Whitey Nation (I’ve been called a “cracker” in Cincinnati – you know the Deep South) even I was appalled at this display. (was that Brian O’Halloran reading that poem?)

But what do you expect from a tailgate that is being knowingly videotaped?

All you haters in the comments section, can you reach those straws over there?

Didn’t think so.

Orson, what’s the record for comments on a post? We’re probably not close to breaking it (I’m thinking it has somethign to do with Urbie’s hiring), I’m just curious, as most of these only go like 40-50 tops.

well, I guess you’re not going to PSU for the girls, either, based on that linked video.

And did anyone notice the prominant jorts? That’s how the video starts!

Im prepping my projecter and a nice flat white wall for September 2, 2006, Atlanta, GA. “Exxxxxxxcellent”

Yea what is the record?

You’re telling me all the 2004 MBA’s with Mr. Mendoza there couldn’t land 2 or 3 Joyce South parking passes? Tailgating out in the field across Edison is for proles.

That dancing display shames my cherished ND undergrad business experience. As does the poem. And the beer-bong chump. I am too mad to go on…

Long Live Club 23.

I can say I was there and yes it was painful to watch but at the same time that tailgate and every other MBA tailgate has been a great time! I really don’t care what anyone thinks from USC, Penn State, Florida or wherever thinks. Yes we look funny and silly and acted like idiots but we didn’t take ourselves seriously and still don’t. The music selection was brought by the only DJ in South Bend and let’s just say he won’t be invited to spin at South Beach anytime soon. But guess what, we didn’t care. We had fun. We drank over 100 cases of beer, numerous handles of tequila and Jim Beam went to the game to support our Fighting Irish (Even TY too), watched unranked Notre Dame upset #9 Michigan, rushed the field, and piled into the Linebacker to dance the rest of the night away to similar crappy 80’s hair band music. And each and every one of us loved it. So I agree it looks really funny in the video (And who the heck video taps it and puts it to the Chicago Bulls theme music anyway?) but so what. I hope the rest of you can recognize your own level of dorkiness, can put on a stupid plastic hat or feather boa for you ladies, can hang out in a field with your classmates and friends and have a blast! This is what college football is about.
I won’t apologize for this display and am honestly quite proud of it and say thanks to those who put it together for the rest of the class!
Proud to be a Dork and a Domer.
GO IRISH!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I just threw up a little bit in my mind!!!!!

go blue!

Orson is on the phone in the other room and this seems to be a burning question so I’m commenting in his place. The clear winner in the behemoth post competition is the “52 REASONS ESPN/ABC/DISNEY SUCKS” post—921 comments and still growing. We heart to h8 the WWL.

-The Conscience of a Nation

For all of those dying to know, the poet’s name is Bradley Wade Schmitt and his hometown is Poseyville, Indiana. I’m not making this up.

This shames my undergrad experience in ways that I can’t even describe. I’ve never felt as ashamed to be white as I am now.

And for the record, let me get on my soapbox about this ProuderDomerMBA individual. “ProudDomerMBA” is evidently proud of anything and has a ridiculously funny and ironic name. He/she forgot to mention in his absurd attempt at a defense the 3 wine coolers he consumed that morning and the fact that he probably spent the last 4 weekends before the tailgate probably burning the aforementioned “blanco mix CD” while the rest of the cool kids were out getting laid and doing some real drinking. Not even Johnny Cochrane and the rest of OJ’s dream team could make you look good after that pernicious insult to mankind.

I’m proud to say that the men of Keough 2001 never once embarrassed Notre Dame in that fashion. In fact, I personally know that any of the behavior seen in that video would have resulted in immediate death by firing squad at our tailgaters.

Proud Domer MBA:

I’ll take my schtick hat off for a sec and say that:

1) The hundreds of comments, almost all in agreement that your buddies made asses of themselves is sort of complimentary. If it were a school with a cheap football tradition, such as Temple’s or UCLA’s, a similar video post would have gotten a few comments and that’s it. So, take the abuse as a sign that, at least your program matters, for better or worse, to a lot of people.

2) The almost 100% abuse of your graduate ND MBA students by your fellow ND UNDERGRADS is truly despicable. I can barely understand the Undergrads thoughts of superiority of the rest of the unwashed masses that make up college football. But, for the Undergrads to turn the guns on their own fellow alumni, well, that is truly sad. (See Blue Gray Sky for more ND on ND self inflicted abuse.) Just shows that what most people think of Domers is true, that they’re arrogant a-holes, especially the undergrads.

Advice to ND undergrads: Show a little class and respect and treat your own graduate school mates like they belong, because like it or not, they are a part of the Domer family.

These nerds are a threat to our way of life.

Re: Harvey’s comment in Post 234 -

“But, for the Undergrads to turn the guns on their own fellow alumni, well, that is truly sad. (See Blue Gray Sky for more ND on ND self inflicted abuse.) Just shows that what most people think of Domers is true, that they’re arrogant a-holes, especially the undergrads.”

If you take the anonymous comments of some internet trolls as being representative of the entire University (or of the entire undegrad population), you’re as ignorant as the people making those posts.

Objectively, was that tailgate a little lame? Probably. Did the people there have a good time? Looks like it. Were they out there supporting their team, regardless of the general quality of football of that era? Yes. Do they deserve the heaping of abuse from fellow Domers? No. Does the fact the some other Domers out there have insulted them justify your biased opinion about ND? Nope.

Internet anonymity affords anyone who wishes to do so the opportunity to insult others, without having to look in the mirror at their own actions. It’s easy for the trolls to bash that tailgate and proclaim their own greatness, without having to offer any proof…and just as easy for you to take that as “evidence” for your weak generalization.

Well said Domer’99

Domer’99 & Walkernd95:

Wireman may be old and crochety, but he may be on to something.

When everyone began to pile on (me-self included) when this great video came out, it was amazing that ND types joined in the dog-pile. Besides the usual sites, such as Michigan’s, Deadspin’s, Bruins site, and a bunch of others, the good ol’, award winning Gray Blue Sky had some of the more vindictive commentary. (Check it for yourselves.) If it were just a few comments, I could buy your argument. But, as Wireman said, it was almost blanket negative commentary from Notre Dame B. S.’rs. (pun intended).

But, next time something like this happens, it may be a good idea to show more solidarity with your brethren there.

By the way, I would like to see more footage from that tailgate party – The Sequel! There has to be some additional footage that is pure gold. A group Macarena?

Domer 99: Just FYI, the content of these comments is not entirely serious. Thought you might want to know that.

After watching this… thing, I promptly called my local congressman and denounced my Caucasian status and had them remove my name from their registry – you can seriously do this (ok no you can’t, but I wish you could). As a Michigan student and fan, this video just makes losing 3 of 4 even more disappointing.

Domer ‘99 makes the unusual point of bringing “reality” and “standards” to the internet. We’ll submit that to our supervisor and get back to you on that soon as we finish up these TPS reports.

I’m going to be in South Bend this fall to watch UCLA 187 notre dame.

A haiku perhaps? Only seems fair as this bit is capped w/bad poetry:

Oh, vapid Domers!

How you make us laugh! And still,

the Spartans own you.

Re: DC Trojan

“Domer 99: Just FYI, the content of these comments is not entirely serious. Thought you might want to know that.”

Whoa! I thought everything on this here interweb was purely factual. Now you’re telling me that sarcasm, hyperbole, and jokes may be part of the equation? My whole world view is now shaken!

Joking around is one thing…resorting to calling the entire population of University a-holes is just weak. I mean, come on, there are more creative insults against us Domers out there! Don’t just resort to some tired old cliche. That would be like me making a condom joke about USC…sure, it’s an easy joke, but wholly lacking in originality and interest.

See, Shawn’s got the spirit! That haiku gave me a good chuckle, despite making me swear about continual lossed to Michigan State.

Stewen-

UCLA?
187?
Notre Dame?

How much did you pay for that crack rock you’re smoking, and where can I get some, cause damn it seems potent.

Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani

Whoa! I thought everything on this here interweb was purely factual. Now you’re telling me that sarcasm, hyperbole, and jokes may be part of the equation? My whole world view is now shaken!

Don’t sell yourself short, you’re obviously a quick study.

I mean, come on, there are more creative insults against us Domers out there! Don’t just resort to some tired old cliche.

Well, at the risk of being lambasted for not managing to come up with a haiku:

There once were some business school Domers
Trying to be tailgating homers
But their poem to Ty
Shows they plainly were high
Still, you guys did better than Oklahoma

Stewen:

Take your video camera to the UCLA-ND game this fall. Make sure you videotape as much as you can stand of these type of tailgate parties that they have in Domer-Land.

If UCLA wins, find that #!#$ Rudy and take a shot of him cryng in his root beer, or of Weis drowing his sorrows eating a gallon of vanilla ice cream with Tom Mendoza.

First off, i’m a current MBA at ND and was a little shocked about the tailgating antics of a a select few. But what you ignoramous clowns need to realize is that half the jokers watching these shenanigans during this video are actually laughing at these ‘stars’ as they are trying to have fun. What happens at every tailgate? people show up hungover or drunk from the previous night. Some people who only drink 6 times a year come out and lose control. Once everyone has 4, 6, 10 beers in them, they could care less what everyone else is doing. People are having a good time, some in a very unusual manner. As for all these posts of jokers that say their tailgate is better i find that hard to believe, I’m sure you fags are either throwing bean bags or playing yahtzee. Hey i didnt dance or wear any fedoras, but those clowns provided hours of entertainment before the game. Are we in Hollywood? who gives a shit. As for the poem, i have that printed and placed above my car visor and read that crap everytime i’m stuck in traffic and wish i could trade places in a second. Lastly, you undergrads that want to disassociate from the grad students, THANK YOU, B/C YOU SUCK…. I hate the fact that I have spent 2 years here but I made the most of it. 4 years here would ruin me. You guys stick out, like Vanilla Ice in a NAACP meeting, in the real world. Shut up already about domers and tradition. I have never seen a school detach itself from their graduate students. There is no wonder that the alumni network is so strong, b/c no one else wants to be associated with you. By the way i’ll see you at the next alumni event to give you my resume.

Are you serious?? I love Notre Dame, but OUCH. ND grad geeks! Gotta love ’em.

Harvey Re: 234

You’re right—what was I thinking blasting these MBA’s? When I was an undergrad at ND, many of the grad students I knew sold their tickets, never tailgated, and were completely outside the whole “college football” experience. (or course, many of them were Asian/European). We should claim these grad students, because at least they made an attempt to act like they cared.

For those like Harvey who are bashing on the ND undergrads who are bashing on the ND grad students, chill out. There’s a huge cultural gap between the majority of grad students and their undergrad brethren. Much of the time, we don’t mix. So yeah, there’s a bit of a desire to “not associate” with these dorky biz school types, since we didn’t (for the most part) when we were undergrads as it was.

There once were some business school Domers
Trying to be tailgating homers
But their poem to Ty
Shows they plainly were high
Still, you guys did better than Oklahoma

There you go, DC Trojan! I’ll give you credit for the limerick, since adding a dig at the Sooners allows the creative “rhyming” of Domers/homers with Oklahoma. Well done! Isn’t that much more fun that just reading some guy calling Domers a-holes?

Domer ’99: it beats working.

The slant rhyme at the end does work a little better if you are a stranger to saying the letter “r.”

Re: 252

You actually knew grad students while you were an undergrad? The only ones I knew were my TAs, and they definitely were outside of the typical ND culture.

ND is very heavily geared towards the undergrad experience and has a relatively small graduate program. And the two seldom mix, especially in the classroom. Most clubs on campus have few, if any, graduate student involvement and those grad students that are involved (PSA anyone?) are usually outside of the mainstream culture of the undergrad student body. And I don’t think the grad students are going way out of their way to hang out with the younger undergrads. Its just the way that it is.

Frankly, as horrifying as this video was, I can see myself going to a tailgater like this and having a good time. The alcohol seemed to be flowing, a good crowd was having a good time, there was football enthusiasm (okay, so it was towards Ty, but it was still enthusiasm), and it was a nice day before a big game at ND Stadium. Definitely beats some of what I have witnessed at other places and stories I have heard from people at other places (and those people were proud of what they were telling me…).

ND Alum & Oda:

Do not blame the infamous video on the Asian/European grad students.

I did not see many berets, liederhosen or kimonos at that tailgate party.

At any university there is not much mixing between grads and undergrads. However, there is usually mutual respect between the groups. The grads usually think that most undergrads were wiz kids that were able to get in (unless it was because of daddy’s $ or connections) and the undergrads think that the grads were studs to be able to get in one of their graduate programs and wish that when they apply that they will be able to get in a comparable or better program.

Geeks? Nobody has a monopoly on these, believe you me.

But, who would want to go to a place like ND that strikes out in the three key facets of wine, women and song? No wonder Domers are nuts about football, it is all they have.

I find it funny these tools from EDSBS are picking this thing up and lampooning it. We really don’t want to get into what kind of idiocy happens before SEC games do we? Seriously, this is like the pot calling the kettle black here. I mean, yeah, this video is pretty damn lame and shows some goofy white bastards drunk, behaving badly. So what? There’s plenty of this exact kind of thing that goes on across the country on game days, and even in EDSBS’s beloved SEC. Fuck you EDSBS, what soapbox did you climb down off of? Well, whichever one it was, return it to the store owned by the Notre Dame grad you stole it from. Aren’t you due back at Hardee’s right about now?

Hardee’s? Bitch, please. We’re at the Steak and Shake, motherfucker.

Andrew:

It was not just this site that picked up on the ND-Tailgate party video fiasco. It was a bunch of them.

And, I noticed that you pasted this rant in the Blue-Gray Sky site.

http://bluegraysky.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_bluegraysky_archive.html#114659104143083303

Are you going to go around and paste this rant on the dozen or so other sites that have the dreaded ND video?

Lighten up. Everyone is laughing, enjoying the Robot Girl, Man-Boob Man, Anorexic Girl, Worm Boys and Maya Angelou (dude reading bad poetry).

By the way, if anyone is caught reading poetry at a tailgate party for an SEC school, and/or wearing jorts, it will probably be his last.

Nay, I say to you SKLM. “Wine Women and song”, you say. I say Copious amounts of mad dog, a 45%-55% male to female ratio ( which means the wildebeasts get to stay home and play euchre on saturday nights. Not pretty trust me), and last but not least, the one school fight song that is pretty much generally accepted as the best fight song of them all, to the point where it’s used in commercials in Australia, and recognized pretty much around the world. yes, our women may swell up like balloons when they see the free yo-cream machine in the dining halls freshmen year, but do not EVER knock ND’s ability to drink. Like you said, it’s all we’ve got, so we’ve gotten pretty good at it.

Not to be redundant, but I came up with a slightly different take on my haiku. Call it, er, a remix?

Oh, vapid Domers!

Sad MBA-ers! Ice, Ice?

China’s rise explained.

To Whom It May Concern: As the Notre Dame Nation’s self-imposed Czar, I have declared a fatwa on each and every creton involved in the ND tailgate melay. Can you say Village Idiots convention. As a lifelong myopic, pychotic fan with twelve family members as grads and grads to be,I’d at least like to think they’re idiot savants. How can you have SAT requirements of 1380 and have such a marginal display of humanity. I’d like to think Subway,but… Sadly, and in hindsight gladly, my daughter chose Wellesley over ND. The Dome has been tarnished again. Father Sorin!!! BH

I am typing this blind as I lost my vision after the 1st minute of the video…but if it is as bad as what I heard for the last 3 1/2 minutes or so, ND should make it a dry campus and dry up the tailgating as well. The HORROR!

I did see one man of color in the video, but at least he was smart enough to hide his face from the camera.

And people were actually ENJOYING themselves!!?!

What we didn’t see in the video…at least I didn’t….

No flashing of the boobies, not that I saw anyone that would be good enough to NOT turn away….

Someone that could hold their liquor and not make a fool out of themselves.

And anyone with any rhythm.

Please God, let me not see this again, don’t restore my vision until this video has been purged.

I’ve always thought that voluntarily choosing to spend time in South Bend was a sign of latant insanity. These people get their jollies waxing endlessly about their unwarranted superiority complex over Boston College and Georgetown. If they are so smart, why are they stuck in a South Bend cow pasture instead of Chestnut Hill, a posh suburb on edge of America’s leading college town? Or Geogetown, the most affluent neighborhood in the nation’s capital? The can have Notre Dame. If you haven’t been there, trust me, nothing has happened in South Bend since Studebaker closed in the 1950s. It is the epicenter of the rust belt.

And it seems to me that the Eagles have studied enough theology to have the good sense not to erect quasi-blasphemous icons of Jesus signalling a touchdown, or to engage in candle-lighting before graven images, or for that matter to think that it is acceptable to seek diving intervention in athletic contests.

It is also astonishing that no one notices that the Fighting Irish is insulting and based on the stereotype that the Irish are always brawling in bars. Can you imagind the uproar if a college had “Stabbing ’Ricans” or “Gun-toting Blacks” as a mascot? Anyway, apparently all these smart people never noticed that “L’Universite de Notre Dame de Lac” isn’t Irish, it’s French.

What the hell is Dante Hicks doing reading poetry?

Clearly, they were the wanna-b-Black Irish.

All I can say is I am extremely humiliated and offended by this clip as a person who has an undergraduate degree from this institution. MBA students need to stop damaging ND’s reputation for undergrads. Seriously…. I swear MBA students fill up half of the Backer any given day. No wonder almsot 50% of the graduating class does not have a single job offer( Yes, this stats is from ND MBA program’s own source, and hence reliable). I happen to witness MBAs gone wild at Rum Runner’s last week and conveniently had a cam with me, so I filmed it.(Who wants to see it, now?) If you are going to get drunk and act dumb, do it at your privacy. Do not dance around next to the stage where everyone can see you, when you can’t even dance. Please stop ruining ND’s reputation for those who are proud to be associated with ND. I think there are many MBA students who think that they are back in college. Those days are over, guys. Maybe you guys need to start focusing on getting a job than partying.

I grew up in South Bend as the child of a Prof who took mercy on my soul and did not make me go to ND for college. And this video is why. ND alumn can try to distance themselves by claiming that these are the dorky, nerdy, MBA grad student who are not even partying in the “right” area. But this is the prevailing social enviroment of the entire university. Anyway, is there really a right place to listen to Jock Rock, line dance with girls in Khaki capri pants, and drink Natty Light from beer bong until you puke?

I think we are all overlooking the real villain in this debacle; the guy behind the camera. Seriously, what sort of dumbass decides that filming this and sharing it with the world is a good idea? On one hand, this video is a sobering (npi) display of extreme Notre Dame idiocy. On the other, take a video camera onto any location with excess alcohol and more than 20 people between the ages of 20 and 30 (with a couple of inappropriately old people thrown in for good measure), and we could all make fun of the result for the next week. Of course, the women would undoubtedly be hotter, but we already knew that…

Funny how the undergrads denounce the MBAs while a few of their own, including T. Mendoza, a former ND undergrad and president of Net Apps, were shown partying with the “shameful” “degenerates”

raise the drinking age and assess an idiot tax
