hate is such a strong word

I think most of the guys on the team are actually likeable (except Zmikowski or whoever's name I just butchered).
In addition, about half of the students/alums from there are good people in my eyes. The other half are a bit tainted by being born into privelege...oh well

I don't like the military-industrial complex built up around ND. They just happen to fit ESPN and every other network's sports marketing of making a hero/villain. They focus the attention like Yankees baseball and Duke basketball. This creates overexposure and overanalysis. I was upset to see so many authoritative books by and about Charlie Weis at the bookstore the other day, but that's not really his fault. I'm upset that he's the greatest thing since sliced bread since there are other coaches doing an excellent job and not getting the same white gloves treatment.

Hate is strong

really good post; your points remind me of why i grew up despising notre dame

Edited to add that this is also why it people with strong negative feelings towards nd don't really bother me
