I have a long line of family who are tOSU alumni, and then my brother goes and roots for ND? The family is laughing at him, I am laughing at him. I remember living in OH and having to see the ND game on Saturday, then it replayed on Sunday just to remind us, and it felt like it was rammed down our throats.
My brother has no such memories.
Back to the point, when they are good, they are the perfect "bad guy" but they havn't been for a long time. It's gotten to the point where it's pathetic for their fans to have the arrogance they have. People say "they are college footballs version of the yankees/lakers/cowboys" but the difference I see is they have been down for 15 years, those other teams, even though they are professional, have not been. So there's a reason for those fans of the professional team to cheer, when the hell does ND fan actually sit back and go "[censored], we need to change some things" instead of "we're independant so we can schedule who we want."
Here's a dose of reality for Notre Dame fans, everyone wants you on their schedule, you know why? You suck and everyone wants a piece of you. Don't feed me that academic standards crap because that's not your problem, your problem is your unrealistic coaching expecations.

I don?t hate the program either, I don?t pay much attention to them, I?d actually prefer they became irrelevant than bounced back. Thinking about it, it probably hurts domers more when people don?t care about them than if we were to hate them, it is representative of how far they?ve fallen. I don?t mind them doing poorly though, I don?t like the thought of them becoming irrelevant because I hate them, but for the hope that it might help other Big Ten schools. I know that Notre Dame takes kids from all over, all national powers do to some degree, but Notre Dame is in Big Ten country and they take a lot of kids from Big Ten states. I like to see Ohio State win the conference, I like to see Ohio State go undefeated, but I like the Big Ten and I don?t like to see Big Ten schools absolutely suck when their state produces talent.
I like Illinois not being a W we chalk up at the beginning of the season, I like the players in Chicago and the state as a whole telling Notre Dame to peddle their [censored] elsewhere because they have a place to play. I would love for Indiana or Purdue to be far and away the best program in Indiana. I want any territory we share with another major player in college sports to be dominated by the Big Ten, I want Iowa to beat the crap out of Iowa State every time they play, I want Penn State to make Pitt look foolish for scheduling them, I of course want Ohio State to run roughshod over Cincinnati every time we play, and in my opinion it would be great to see Purdue and Indiana own their own state.
