Too much money in college football to be had. 😊 My thought is that if they were motivated enough to have Michigan stop by to teach them the game, then eventually they would have had somebody teach them had the Wolverines refused. I said it once and I'll say it again. Most Irish fans that I know have completely forgotten about that game. Notre Dame's football program is focused on winning the national championship. If someone asked Freeman or anyone on his staff what the score of that game was, 50% of them wouldn't even know. I agree that Michigan fans think more about that game than Notre Dame fans do. But at the end of the day, both programs can hold their heads high knowing that they are the two winningest programs in college football history.

In the big scheme of things, that score is meaningless to both programs at this point as they have bigger goals in mind. However, in this particular event (a discussion where both fan bases are riling one another up) the scoreboard is the checkmate. It’s good natured ribbing.

At least at Notre Dame you can go get concessions without having to wait in line to get back in. Five 10-win seasons in a row. Michigan has two during that time period. Not bad, not bad. They're trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan also doesn’t have a 4-8 season sprinkled in there and has rivals that are actually on top of their game right now. USC, Stanford, Navy, FSU and Boston College are cute little rivalries. Try playing OSU, MSU, and PSU annually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why Parkview Field was rated higher than Lucas Oil in a recent study of the top sporting venues in the United States? They typically look at the whole package.

Muda69 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 The last time I was in Michigan Stadium, which I'll admit was in the mid-1990's, it was a crumbling dump. And they crammed you in there like sardines to the point that if you didn't sit down when everybody sat down you had lost your seat on the cold, hard, bleachers.

This topic went from two fanbases giving one another a hard time about program success on the field, to the origins of the rivalry to concession stand and toilet jokes in a hurry.

Hell, they just had their spring game and there was zero tackling allowed when the first string offense was in.

Worst Ohio State defense I’ve seen in years, not sure it can get any worse this year. I think Knowles is the real deal and the last opponent he faced…Notre Dame. Domers don’t have the horses to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
