on this board ought to be pretty clear.

In fact, it's caused me to become a persona non grata around the athletic department.

It's got nothing to do with "deference."

It has to do with fans knowledgeable enough to realize that Notre Dame, despite wandering in the desert for 30 years, is worthy of respect as an iconic program.

That respect doesn't translate to points on the field, bumps in the polls, points on the betting lines or berths in the playoff field.

Obviously, I'm talking about fans and to a lesser degree, institutions, who have no ability to grant those things, even if they were inclined -- and they shouldn't be.

But we shouldn't be spending our time or money or giving the platform (ho-hum, another record crowd with "irrelevant" Notre Dame in town) to institutions and fan bases that are too fucking stupid to realize and appreciate who we are -- current state of the program notwithstanding.
