I HATE how people always knock ND Fans.. and go..well at least "you went there, so I understand that"...F those haters!
I was the first domer in my family because I sat and watched them every weekend in 1993 and had a dream of going there some day...
I was accepted off of the wait list, and it was one of the greatest days of my life! However, not going to ND does not mean you cant bleed blue and gold for our lady. Unlike some "institutes of higher learning", there are only about 2,000 spots available each year, and it is by far one of the most selective Universities in the World. ND is a dream destination for the best and brightest around the world. Unlike many schools with tens of thousands of students, Notre Dame is small and selective. Unlike many schools, Notre Dame actually stands for something. I am a lifelong fan of Notre Dame, not because I am an Alum, but because Notre Dame only does things the right way. If we used copper on our dome it would be worthless and tarnish. Accomplishments achieved by cutting corners(graduating student athletes) are also worthless.
