  1. I'm tired of reading the George Bush, Bill Cinton, Iraq, Iran, Hilliary Clinton, Obama, Rush Limbaugh...ideological crap. This is a Notre Dame football site (ok, other ND sports are discussed, but fairly infrequently). I just do not see where my -- or anyone else's, political views/flames advance the mission of this site.

     

    There are plenty of sites dedicated to political discussions -

     

    Notre Dame football is and should be apolitical.

     

    Wah, wah, wah.

     

    Is someone holding your eyes open (ala A Clockwork Orange) forcing you to read political posts?

  2. Are you kidding me? Dont you have any real sources? All that is just a bunch of crazy looney right wingers. Glenn Beck videos as a source. LOL

     

    ad hominem argument.

    No substance.

    Refutation: fail

    Chief Diversity Officer Seeks To Stifle Free Speech

    The White House “Rush” to the Fairness Doctrine

    Watch out for Big Brother Barack and his thug thought police. Hasn't anyone noticed how sensitive BO is to criticism and how he tries to do everything he can to attack and discredit those who dare speak out against him?

     

    Carry on Obamatrons.

  4. If this would have been handled differently, no one would even have known that SJ wasn't carrying out his mod functions. He could have still "acted" like a mod, like JoePa "acts" like the head coach, and we could have all been spared the drama. Not a happy ending for SJ, but it could have been. Still can be in my view if the mods reconsider their decision.

  5. so the "I'm retiring" thing was not the time to do that?

     

    Yes it was but obviously the decision to take everything out of his office and not allow him to work there anyomore was made without his knowledge and acceptance. He came into work the next morning and was told to give up his key and that he can't work in his office anymore but can only come into the building like anyone else.

  6. you mean he's a zombie?

     

    Nah, I mean he's the guy who should be out to pasture but should be kept around as long as he wishes because he essentially started DD and he should be respected as such. JoePa these days doesn't do much as a head coach even though that is his titular position. They took away many of his responsibilities but just couldn't fire him and humiliate him. A nice way to handle the situation in my view. How they handled Bobby Bowden is another story.

     

    I don't agree with much of what SJ says even when I can understand what he is saying but it doesn't seem like he's getting the BB treatment. More like the JoePa treatment. The only thing that should have been done differently in my view was to discuss with him upfront the decision about removing his ability to mod, tell him why they think it is a good idea, and get him to buy into it, which he probably would have had they done that. But now you got the old feller all riled up. And given the way SJ hasn't let go of defending CW, I doubt he will ever let this go.

     

    If I was a mod, I would reinstate his ability to be a mod and have that discussion I mentioned above at later date when SJ is open and willing to step down.

  7. Every additional piece of information we get about BK is beginning to paint a pretty good picture of how things will be. I expect that good things will happen and we will get back to our winning tradition. BK is taking care of the little things and shaking things up a bit. He's been there, knows what he is doing as a complete head coach, something we have lacked for too long.

     

    Can't wait to see the fruits of his efforts on the football field!

  8. the more DD knows about issues the more we can try to fix the Tech side. I am not a tech guy but will pass on all,. I hope any issues get resoved... those things are $$%@ crap I well know, Give aspecific example and maybe our Tech gu Ausin can fix it???????

     

     

    You forgot to update us on your spell-checker.

  9. Some of you have responded to the above sticky, poster Bios.. It;s just a "let us know more about you. Don't worry we don't send you Spam... half my day here is spent killing spam/porn to keep DD and you free from that junk.

     

    Some of you do not respond to the request to make you a friend....try to do so.

     

    Some still have no Avitars.... See Announcements for how to do so.

     

    I'd like to see:

    1. Ability to edit threat title when you make a typo.

    2. Buttons for all of the html tags like bold, italic, etc.

    3. New html capabilities like fixed font (colums), tables, strike out, etc.

     

    Here is an example of a sports board that has these tags when you are composing a post and it makes it very easy to bold, italic, etc. merely by highlighting and clicking on the appropriate button. Take a look at this site for some other cool features:

  10. Palin is just a MILF with no sense. :llama:

     

    I doubt she would get near a lib like you. Only in your dreams. Libs love to fantasize MILF'ing republican babes and commiting adultry. (The party of Clinton)

     

    That's cause there aren't many good-looking democrat women:

  11. AGAIN, WHO IS PROMOTING HER AS A VIABLE CANDIDATE?

     

    i think you misinterpret my and others defense of her as support for her as a candidate. I think she is being treated poorly (attacks on her family and characterization in the press). I have explained already why i think she is such a target.

     

    Palin is unelectable in part because she is not liked by independents. The best way for another four years of the socialist empty suit would be for republicans to give her the nod. That would be just downright stupid! She is valuable to the party in so many other ways. But she is not presidential material at this time. And she is no bimbo. Just google some of her interviews on CNBC before she was VP. She is very knowledgable about energy policy and even though the dimocrats thought she was running for president, she wasn't, even though she had more executive experience in her right pinky than Zero had his entire life.

     

    One other reason that she should not run at this time is that the MSM did a job on her and "jacketed" her. And voters who rely solely on liberal news didn't really get to know the real Sarah Palin, who is bright, articulate, and a much better candidate than the current resident/socialist in the WH. Both the dimocrats and the MSM are very good at the politics of personal destruction. Once the false impressions are set in concrete, they are hard to change.

     

    As someone noted, Zero has made his share of stupid gaffes, but they don't get repeated ad nauseum on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc. as they did with Sarah (and other republicans) thereby creating an impression in the minds of viewers, albeit a false impression, that she is a moron. Yet the libs try and make excuses for Zero's saying there are 57 states. Hell, that's more stupid than misspelling potato.

     

    If it wasn't for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.

  12. Rockne, as a guy who often accuses people of resorting to name-calling and not making/refuting solid arguments, I'm surprised that you like Palin.

     

     

    We really just genuinely think she is a moron.

     

    Nuff said..........
