I'm trying to reconcile these two statements, made 35 minutes apart.

Ohio State is mentioned because Ohio State matters.
Although it obviously speaks volumes that 3-9 Notre Dame got mentioned every week (Speaks volumes about the loyalty of the fans, and how much prestige the Notre Dame program has historically), the bottom line is that I'd rather have a 3rd straight 10+ win season and get bashed on by sports analysts, then be mentioned casually on radio shows and have a 3-9 year.
I'm happy my team is the topic of so much discussion. Being the bad guy has a nice taste to it.

Let's be honest about this.
ND got mentioned each week through the UCLA game precisely because they were going through an unprecedented run of ineptitude.
They were the (as NDCHIEF's sig indicates) the unwilling circus clowns of college football last year.
Their run to zero wins and all losses would not have been news without ND's past history, nor their unique exposure on NBC. They couldn't run, they couldn't pass and they couldn't hide. And everyone else had a good laugh at their expense.

Can't attest to everyone else, but I sure did.
Chief has been level headed and even admits that maybe Weis is a little less (pun intended) than he was cracked up to be, but it seems that a lot of ND fans are living in a dream world thinking that their program is still relevant in ways other than as the butt of a joke, and that their coach is still the second coming of Rockne, just a little slow in arriving.
This head stuck in the sand, if I close my eyes you can't see me attitude is priceless and what makes people (me at least) have such a dislike for most things ND, their pure arrogance built on things that mostly happened well before most nearly all of their "fans" were born.
