A New Name for Notre Dame
1-liner, College Football December 2nd. 2008, 1:30pmNotre Dame: How about Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald, asks Rick Telander. Probably not a big enough name. Good column, though, asking what ND is as opposed to what it wants to be: “Just look at yourself, Notre Dame, and see if you like what you see: a smallish (8,300 undergrads), private, history-laden (founded in 1842), Catholic institution in a Midwestern town with academic standards (almost three-quarters of incoming freshmen are in the top 5 percent of their high school class) just shy of Stanford and Yale.”

I’ve always wanted to say that.

Miz, I don’t mean to correct you but if you plan on using plural “Vols” you should probably make it “bitches” to make the synonym work. Of course “Vol, bitch” would also be acceptable.
/you lost to UCLA

last year when ND played in Happy Valley I saw the best Rudy related t-shirt
“Rudy sucks, we cut him”

Northwestern sucks because Mike Wilbon went there

Hey, it deleted my less than sign!

strangely, it seems like you meant to correct me. I believe you though.
by the way, “Vols, bitch” is an expression and not meant to be grammatically broken down and critiqued. and, it originated in east TN so…suck it.

Pat Fitzgerald isn’t going anywhere. If you think he could consider any other job, then you don’t understand NU and you don’t understand Fitz.
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Mole-why would carroll go to ND? does he have ties there?

Beano Cooke doesn’t see anything wrong with Notre Dame.

Fitzgerald is not getting the job… Same goes for Petersen.. And dare I say… Kelly.
Methinks ND wood rather stick it oot another year with Jueisse than potentially be saddled with 3-5 years of a Kelly or Fitzgerald if they cannot land the home run hire. Which still remains a real possibility, contrary to popular thought.
