Guest Snatchy_McPants Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Yeah, I know, none of you are shocked to read that subject line, but I plan on giving you some photographic evidence tomorrow. In no particular order, the following are things that really piss me off about "the best college football team in West Lafayette, IN." 1.) ND SUCKS! F*** THE IRISH! RUDY SUCKS, THE IRISH SWALLOW! ETC. -Um, newsflash guys, you actually have your OWN team that you can root for. It never ceases to amaze me how caught up the "Lil' Engines that Couldn't" get in trashing the other team. Sounds like little brother syndrome to me. In the vast sea of all the aforementioned ANTI-Irish shirts, rarely did I see any PRO-Purdue gear. 2.) BOOOOOOOOO! -Uhh.....guys..........it's only the second quarter. Granted, you are getting a red-assed beating from the Irish, but are you not there to support your team? You simply do not boo your team, period. I shudder to think what the fans would be doing if it weren't for the band leader telling them all what to cheer and when. You'd see more open jaws than Brock Spack on a D-Walk run. What a bunch of mouth-breathers. 3.) Hey, something happened, let's throw stuff! -This one pissed me off the most. During about the 3rd quarter, the students started chucking water bottles and whatever else they could grab down into our section. Granted, most of them were to weak to make it there, but a few did. I shouldn't have to see EMT's and cops in my section after every score, but that's exactly what happened. A guy 2 seats in front of me had to leave and get a couple stitches in his forehead(I have a pic of this for tomorrow). They even threw water bottles when THEY scored. The worst I got was some water splashed in my shoulder, but that was enough to set me off. How often do you see things like this happening at ND? How about NEVER. Bottom line, we will always be ND, they will always be Purdue, no matter how much that sucks for them. It's like I told that fat kid who shouted "F*** the Irish" at me as he ran across the street and away from me. "You're fat and you go to Purdue, keep running. That'll solve half the problem anyway." GO IRISH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SirJohn Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Sucks! I imaagine eventually they will need riot poile at certain points. Makes you wonder about some "college educated" people. Ancient Rome maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mightymjolnir Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I agree with Snatchy McPants, primarily because I was sitting right in front of him as all of this crap was going on. It made me think back to last year's game, as we were getting spanked, and all of the Irish fans started throwing...no wait, that NEVER happened, because we are not cow-f***ing state school savages. This is why Purdue is not a rival. If you got to a ND game at Michigan, it is rowdy, but it rarely if ever crosses the line. There is a mutual respect. The average Michigan fan can hold an intelligent conversation with you about football. Makes the whole thing better, even if you are losing, say, 38-0. At Purdue, the goal is hostility for hostility's sake, because what the damn else are you gonna do? It's West Lafayette. A rivalry contains evenly matched programs. Even though they beat us twice before this year, even though they had some streaks against us, we OWN Purdue. They know it, they hate it. We don't even regard them highly enough to disrespect them. They barely exist in the college football, let alone Notre Dame, conversation. Purdue's wet dream is losing in the Capital One bowl every year. They inexplicably start off with high expectations, then they explicably blow it every single season. THAT is why they celebrate EVERY FIRST DOWN with that stupid cheer - each tiny victory is likely to be their last. I hate that chant with every fiber of my being - I felt dirty after like the second time we mocked it. But I digress. My point is that when the power and glory of Notre Dame comes to town, it is a sign that very soon (probably that very day), their stupid team will blow it yet again. They figure they better get all of their celebrating in at once. As the failure and disaster accumulated over time, the line between celebration and abject frustration blurred, and now "jubilation" means "hitting an elderly man in the head with a water bottle." Sad, but all logarithms and fat chicks and no WINNING makes Boilermaker Pete a stupid, classless, dull boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snatchy_McPants Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 As promised, here's my proof. Thanks to mightymjolnir for taking the pic with my terrible digital camera. The guy was a good sport, especially considering he had to miss almost the entire 3rd quarter because of some less "Thomas the Tank Engine" wannabe who's only claim to fame has now changed from "Remember when I felt up that passed-out chick?" to "Remember how tough it looked when I arbitrarily chucked a water bottle at a defenseless man from a distance so far away that even if I was spotted, I could have run to the safety of our precious, precious corn to escape?". Sorry, still seething a bit. http://www.geocities.com/snatchymcpants/classy.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
