Inside the Minds of Irish Haters

Notre Dame- 11 National Championships, 7 heisman trophy winners, and 95 consensus All-Americans.  They never get in brawls (Miami). They rarely if ever get in legal trouble (USC). So why are we hated so much? I'm probably going to get a lot of hate mail on my profile for this, but I've  figured out why.

When I was looking through the Truth and Rumors college section, I found an article on Notre Dame's quarterback race.  It basically said that Charlie Weis had narrowed its list of contenders to Sharpley, Jones, and Clausen.  I looked through the comments, just to see who people thought would start.  Instead of finding comments about the quarterback race, most of the comments were about how much people hated Notre Dame. This is why they hate us.

Notre Dame 2007 predictions

Here it is...game by game predictions for the 2007 Irish.

Georgia Tech: Starting QB Evan Sharpley (yes, I said it) will have a slow game against Tech. However, dual backs Munir Prince and James Aldridge will carry the Irish over against the rebuilding Yellow Jackets.

Georgia Tech: 14  Notre Dame: 24

@Penn State: The Nittany Lions are back and out for revenge after the crushing that was given to them last year in South Bend. The Irish offense will be slow and Morelli will be much better than he was last year.  Look for the Nittany Lions to overpower Notre Dame.
