    I root for 3 teams. Penn State, Michigan State and anyone who's playing Notre Dame. :beer: (But I DID cheer for ND last week, hoping they would pound Michagan since they're in our league)

    Go Spartans!

    I actually think Stanton has a bigger arm. Quinn reminds me of Chad with the floaters he tosses up there. I honestly don't see anything in this kid that makes me think he is worth the heisman, the number 1 pick or even a first round pick for that matter. If he was at Oregon or Alabama or Clemson he would be a second rounder like Clemens, Croyle and Whitehurst (third rounder for some of them). But since he is at Notre Dame he is basically handed everything before the season even starts.

    And for the record I don't hate everything about Notre Dame or think all of their players are overrated.

    Well I don't see Quinn's games much so I am not sure whose arm is stronger, but seeing the games Stanton plays he doesn't have a cannon of a arm, but with all his other tools there shouldn't be a case where Quinn has to be the runaway #1 QB, it looks pretty equal even equating the Weiss hype

    Notre Dame thinks they are some branch of the United States government. The White House, Congress, Supreme Court, Notre Dame. They also represent every Christian entity on the field, to the point where people who don't know anything about sports wear Green because it's acceptable for people of their faith. I went to a Catholic school for 6 years before College, so it was pretty much unbearable.

    At this point, I'm shocked they don't have their own nationally televised network by now (and I'm not talking about NBC). So call me a hater, but I'll gladly take that label if that's the only option you give me.

    Ughh. That's just what you fill your head up with. Your imagination is totally running away from you.

    And I hate Cathlic shcool as well. But if I had the grades I would have went to school there. It's a good school.

    I'm going to pick Notre Dame in a tight game, 27-24 win.

    I am a bigger fan of Drew Stanton then Brady Quinn, because Stanton is very mobile and his arm is only a notch worse then Quinn's. I'll take the strong two-dimensional QB anyday.

    My first reply in quite sometime, but I just want to clarify something for you as an ND student.

    I obviously cannot speak for EVERYONE at the school but I can speak for the majority of the school when I say this:

    Everyone at every school thinks their school is the greatest. Everyone's school has the greatest academics and the greatest athletics. The only reason you hate Notre Dame is because of it's media attention, but besides the administration getting that big fat NBC contract, the people of Notre Dame in no way think they're better than anyone else. We're just the most popular school (and the most hated because of our popularity). You can claim all you want that it's because we think we're better, but deep down it's you (and every other hater) trying to be different from the mold and has nothing to do with the actual school.

    So let me just throw a couple of #'s out at you.

    US News and World Report Ranking: Tied for 20th.
    AP Poll: 12th.

    I'm not going to argue those numbers. They seem pretty accurate to me. There are better schools for both academics and football. The numbers don't lie and we don't pretend that they do. We take great pride in this school, regardless. It's kind of hard to think you're better than everyone else when you're not at the top of anything, don't you think?

    Everyone's got an exorbitant amount of pride in their school. We're center stage (probably always will be) and it's only because of the media and the popularity, not the students or the faculty or the football team even. We don't do anything to gain such a reputation. It's all about tradition and the school is trying to do its best to get back to that status on the football field, but anyone that tells you we're there or that we've proven anything in the past couple of years is just lying to themselves because we're not the best.

    Wait until we're #1 to hate us. Until then, ignore anything you hear about ND because it's just going to skew your opinion of us even more.
