Everyone who uses the GID needs a reminder if they haven’t donated. Especially those who are the most loquacious. You’re welcome.

You're quick to throw certain members under the bus. Donation just went down 50% this year.

Love the name calling Chief, does irrelevant work for you?

What exactly is your role here? I don't revere you the same way I do Coach Nowlin, DK Barons, and Irishman.

He’s the Dwight Schrute self appointed volunteer moderator of the board.  He specializes in attempted shaming, spell checking and failed attempts at humor all on a zero dollar per year salary.

The mods would be well served to cut bait with him because his actions make me less likely to donate.

I’m a longtime Booster and fundraiser. 
I don’t ask for affirmation or reverence.

I haven’t called anyone any names. Unless you consider the word loquacious an offensive term??

His conduct is unprofessional, no other way to slice it. Now, back to the topic at hand. Hopefully any more jabs about donations will be executed via private message. Unless of course the message is directed at the entirety of the forum and not just three people. Anyway............

Nah, it goes out to anyone in the cheap seats who has replied in this thread, whether or not they've ever participated in/tried to dominate an IU or Notre Dame thread before.

Damn, really? That's not just a cheap shot at the IU Contingent? I think these Hoosiers are ready. Vegas is spot on in my opinion. I have one bet riding on the game with an IU fan, I gave him the spread and that's it.

Actually for those lacking a stick up their ass, or the self anointed, he’s pretty funny.

I mean, at least Notre Dame (A&M) has a win they can hang their hat on.  This has become the “we haven’t beaten anyone bowl”, especially after Army’s loss yesterday.

Maybe wishful thinking on my part because not sure how much I trust ND.

As I stated elsewhere, I think this bracket perfectly sets up for the Irish, but if history is any indication, they’ll find a way way to screw it up.

Either way, I come out giggling..especially if it’s lopsided.

You kill me. I don't know how you can reside in Indiana and not like either team. I know you like controversy, but damn! It's like when I was a kid, I rooted against the Bears because everyone else liked them. But I grew out of that Temp. I support local. C'mon!

Hating ND is in my blood and until 5 months ago, had no reason to dislike IU.

A&M counts as a quality win? Really? Does Northern Illinois count as a quality loss? Glad IU beating Michigan counts for nothing for your beloved 5 star loaded team. Please tell me what CFP team did the Irish beat? Who did SMU beat in the CFP? Same for Penn State? Arizona State? I’ll wait…

A&M is still ranked, so yes.

No, NIU is not a quality loss.

To be honest, I’ve been told by some on here to discount September results when assessing a team’s playoff worth, so there’s that.

Michigan sucked this year.  No way around it.  Not sure how many different ways I’ve gotta say it.

A&M on the road? C'mon. That's a good win.

You.  

“Anyone using the Northern Illinois game to discuss the strength of this team is wrong.”

For the record, I sort of agree but I’m not ready to speak in absolutes as the entire résumé must be taken into consideration.

The hilarious part is talking out of the other side of your mouth when assessing IU because they played their worst game of the season in week 12.

Honestly, I think the "we're better now than at the beginning of the season" excuse is overrated. I just like  to give you a hard time about it since you stated that Snider was better served playing Warren Central at the beginning of the season. More times than not, if a team loses to a good team at the beginning of the season, they suffer the same fate at the end. I'm not sure how much better a team really is from Week 1 to Week 10. Throw Northern Illiniois out the window. The beginning of the season had nothing to do with that loss. They lost that game because they played it half asleep coming off their big win over A&M. 

Did I say IU played their worst game of the season against Ohio State? I believe Cignetti stated that, maybe I defended him. Normally when you play bad it's because the team you're playing caused some sort of disruption. The only thing I think IU could have done better against Ohio State is special teams. Wouldnt' have mattered in the end, either way, the Buckeyes were winning that game. It just may have been closer. Also not sure how Rourke's thumb injury affected his play.

Not sure what that is, but it sounds pretty sick. Editing my post without my permission is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Just sayin.
