Does everybody heat that? probably not, but Dan obviously is off his meds because he can hear the black helicopters out to get Southern Cal football. Sack up and take some responsibility for YOUR actions.

I agree with everything you said 100%. All I heard from friends that go to usc were, “It’s bullshit, the NCAA was out to get us.” and different variations of that. I honestly hate usc with every bone in my body, and would love nothing more than for ND to just beat the living shit out of them Saturday. It’s something that is long, long overdue.

WAY past time. But this is classic USA fan–you hear it all the time. For years they’ve talked endless smack, ignoring the blatant flouting of the rules going on with their program. Then, when the hammer finally drops, it’s everybody’s fault but theirs. Everybody’s picking on us.

Perhaps the sanctions were unprecedented (which simply means they established a new precedent.) Perhaps that could be because the violations ALSO were unprecedented. (the Bush payoffs got most of the press but there was OJ Mayo, agents prowling the sidelines, etc.) SC acted as though one set of rules applied to them and another to everyone else. And that continued on even AFTER the NCAA started investigating them for basically having not just Reggie but the entire Bush family on the take. I’d argue that, beyond the violations themselves, what provoked the NCAA’s wrath was the pervasive attitude (which persisted to this year) that the regular rules didn’t apply to the Trojans. And still, Trojan fans continue to whine that they are being treated so unfairly. Cry me a river…

Keith, what a good choice for the oppositions (twisted) viewpoint of things. As far back as 2004 you could see what had to be going on in LA. Of course $C fans blame everyone else for their problems. In 2 or 3 years when the effects of the sanctions really hit them, the whining could become unbearable.
I hope $C is going into this game thinking we’re not as talented as Oregon St.

re: “Even the unprecedented sanctions, the two-year bowl ban and loss of 30 scholarships over three seasons, a penalty of unprecedented severity and without any historical basis that the NCAA Committee on Infractions including Notre Dame deputy AD Missy Conboy inflicted on USC** probably won’t completely even things out unless the Irish improve.”

What a whiney, unrepentant, snarky, and condescending comment. And this was just the part that wasn’t edited out. It’s past time we beat these bastards.

Interesting, you hit on some key “trends” if you will….I am from Ohio, I am a Notre Damer, and I lived in Ann Arbor for 3 yrs… When I was a kid, USC just tormented ND under Ara and Dan Devine. Lou Holtz and even Gerry Faust were very succesfull for a long long time against them. Now it has reversed, and everyone forgets about how USC could not beat the Irish to save their lives.
Reminds me of OSU and Michigan…John Cooper almost had pro football teams at OSU but could not beat Michigan. Now it is the other way around with Tressel

The point is, if we are going to reverse this psyche thing, with a new coach, this is the chance to do it

Go Irish
