Posted September 18, 20213 yr That’s some petty nonsense the administration is pulling over a drum… let them bring it in… total horsesh!t nonsense…
September 18, 20213 yr ND is being petty here. Let them roll the drum out pre-game and just leave it on the field till half time.... And fire the designer who made the visitor tunnel too short... Peacock, now the drum. Some really stupid stuff this year.
September 18, 20213 yr This will just rile up the Purdue team even more. If Notre Dame loses, I am blaming this decision as the root cause!

But not really worried about riling up PU lol.. Just stupid that they can't figure out a way to get the damn drum on the field. Let a couple ND staff guys roll it through the tunnel and the PU guys can wait outside the tunnel. Just can't understand the level of pettiness here. Just super dumb.
September 18, 20213 yr I mean, not to be a dick here, but, a link would be nice so everyone knows what you guys are talking about. I get the gist, Purdue can't have their drum. But if you're going to make a thread about a story, post the link the the story.

September 18, 20213 yr Guess I'm the only one totally amused by this, who cares if the visiting team can't do what they want. Love that tiny visitors tunnel, hope we actually fill the stands this week!

Love that tiny visitors tunnel, hope we actually fill the stands this week! Purely my opinion, but it's a dick move to a team we played 60+ years straight. If it were FSU, Miami, USC, scUM, etc., I'd have no problem with it. But in-state PU....

If other teams cry because they can’t do what they want, good

And they've been a very friendly in-state rivalry at that. Sure the drum is dumb to us, but why be petty to a team we've owned for the last 20 years. We just look dumb.

And peacock is where college football is headed, that’s just how it goes

Local Benders are mostly blue collar Catholics who stand and yell as much as anyone. Pretty clear you don't understand the history here.... Peacock feedback was horrible, even by the people who signed up for it, or already had it. I already had it (with my Xfinity), and it was the worst ND experience ever..... If ND wants to piss off the locals, the national Catholic base, ect., they'll lose what national respect they still have. In the South, everyone thinks they're a joke already. And Catholicism which accounts for the majority of fans (not alumni) is on the decline. Add in the fact the school has become a lot more liberal which hasn't set well with some... But hey, I'm guessing you're young and really don't care about what ND means to most, or at least used to mean.
