EDSBS LIVE! THE NOTRE DAME SHOW.
What: EDSBS LIVE online radio Click that or the banner thingy to your right to listen…because Peter Bean is back, Ragin Cajun Rebel is back in the mob where he does his thing, and because tonight we will be discussing one of the greatest questions in the world: Does Notre Dame exist?
Where: At NowLive, where you can chat with each other and the show hosts throughout the broadcast in the online forum (which remains damn lively–last week one commenter who shall remain nameless but is named Holly from Ladies… called an intruder on the board a cunt. Don’t mess with the parallelogram, y’all.)
To phone in to the show, just call (310) 984-7600.
What: Tonight’s special guests are…Jay from Blue-Gray Sky and Brian Cook from MGoBlog and the Fanhouse. They will face each other in a Lincoln-Douglas Style Debate on the topic: Does Notre Dame exist, and should we care? For two Sun Belt football fans raised on Texas and Florida, this remains a very legitimate question.
Four Questions: As always, our four questions for the night.
1. 1. ND–do you care? Simple enough–do you care about Notre Dame, ESPN and media borgs be damned?
2. Is the grief ND fans endure proportional to the crimes? We think not, especially given all the unwanted attention they receive when things turn turdulent in South Bend (ex: media hailstorm in 2004/05 surrounding Willingham, Weis, Meyer, etc.)
3. What do you like about ND? If anything? The hellacious student section. If the entire stadium were filled with fans doing what they do, they’d have to make the supports of the superstructure out of Nerf.
4.Would you sleep with a leprechaun? A better question would be “Have we slept with a leprechaun?” Silence defines us here.
See you tonight.

1. Yes. Notre Dame will always be relevant to the college football nut.
2. Probably not, but that’s what you get for thinking your farts smell like lilacs, or maybe Shea Butter.
3. Great fight song, cool traditions, un-Nikefied unis.
4. Who says I haven’t already?

1. Yes. I don’t like them because they are consistently overpublicized. The problem is that I’m a Michigan fan, and UM usually plays ND early in the season. As a result, when ND beats a team that UM doesn’t play (typically anyone but MSU or Purdue) it makes UM look better, so I must admit that I usually don’t mind when ND wins. In years when UM does not play ND, I almost always root against ND.
2. Only the knuckleheads. Every fan base has its share of reasonable people and its share of knuckleheads, and I don’t know that ND fans are any worse than usual on average.
3. They usually run a pretty clean program.
4. No.

Thanks for the correction irishdevil, it’s kind of what I was trying to say.

1. Yes, and probably too much.
2. Yes, but only because we are the only big time program equipped with the brains to actually handle that much grief (at least the actual alums are). If you thought Ty’s firing was bad, I’d love to see some dumbass U (see LSU, UM, OSU, Bama) from the SEC or Big Ten program get scrutinized in the national media for the fact that they collectively graduate something like a dozen black football players a year (if you’re from Northwestern, Vanderbilt or Florida, my apologies, you actually give a shit about academics sometimes).
3. The stadium. With the ivy at Wrigley finally taking the plunge, we may be the only major historical sports arena still left unblemished by senseless advertising.
4. I had a make-shift leprechaun suit that I would wear when I attended games as an undergrad, and one time at an afterparty, some girl I was dancing with stole and wore my hat so as to lure me away to a bedroom. Is this sufficient?

#99. He said that USC is a fairly liberal school that is tolerant of all sexual preferences, (more so than say, Mississippi State, or more appropiately, Notre Dame) that, combined with being located in a large west-coast city is reason for the ambiguous promiscuity.
He also said that Opus Dei put a curse on USC which will cause a losing streak longer than the Lou Holtz era.
I said “Really you can do that?”
He said “Damnit! You know too much!”
He then sent his albino priest after me and he bit off my arm.
So thanks a fucking lot SeaTrojan, may you burn in hell like your gay classmates.

OC - I think Weiss has done well with what he’s had to work with so far. I’m guessing you aren’t as familiar (and I wouldn’t expect you to be) with our depth problems since you’re not a fan. This year will be a tough one as I believe we have only a handful of seniors that will actually play. Next year we should get back to the 10 win level and in 2009 I fully expect to be in the MNC hunt. By all measures Weis has done a wonderful job; from recruiting to coaching. Are we “there” yet, no, but I haven’t had this much confidence that we’ll get there since I was a student in the early nineties and that, at least to me, is something to be happy about..
