This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Some experiences by pmoose

Went to ND games @MSU and was heckled a few times. Once was when I was a student. I remember leaving the game and a drunk MSU student had proudly written an insult for ND fans to read in the grass with spray paint. It read "Noter Dame Sucks!"

Went to watch the Pitt game when Weis had just taken over and their QB was Tyler Palko. Many fans before the game yelled at ND fans, saying "Fuck Notre Dame!" That included some fans coming right up into our faces and giving us the bird. I dislike Pitt fans, but since they perennially suck, I don't I have big dislike of them. Also from that game, at the beginning of the game Pitt fans were standing up yelling "Palko for Heisman!" He basically sucked in that game, and in the middle of the 4th quarter when it was clear ND had blown them out, an ND fan got up and yelled the same thing, "Palko for Heisman!"

I couldn't have been treated more nicely when I went to games @Nebraska, @FSU, and by Alabama fans when I went to the NC game.
