Having traveled to other locales to see ND play and being the subject of loud, sarcastic comments… or worse yet, concern for potential safety…I think it is great when fans of both teams can cheer passionately for their team but, outside the stadium be friendly.

I recall the Texas A & M fans years ago showing up at ND in a huge bus caravan, everyone fully dressed in team colors, to enjoy the game and the campus experience. They appreciated the ND hospitality (directions to campus landmarks, offers to sample tailgate food and drink, etc.)

I love it when I feel I can walk through a tailgate area at an away game in my ND attire and get invited to a stranger’s tailgate…

Yes, I live and die with each game, BUT, it Is a GAME.

Did ND place an ad in the Miami Herald thanking the ‘thug’ Miami fans for their barbaric behavior when we played them last in Miami?

True, but this is a family blog.

Plus, this myth of hospitable Georgia is a joke. Granted, we didn’t get our asses beat inside or outside the stadium but we did have no less than 10 Woofers (or whatever they call it) in our faces as we walked campus and inside the stadium, as the game remained tight, we had cheers in Section 102 against injured Irish and some less than hospitable exchanges otherwise. Was it hospitable for the SEC – yes. Did I fear for my life like at certain other venues – No. But nevertheless, it wasn’t All happy happy like when UGA visited ND in 2017 and like the “leaders” of the University would like us to believe. Again, let’s show our opponents how much we respect them by beating their ass while maintaining our dignity as human beings who treat each other how we’d like to be treated.

Spot on. We know we’re classy. We don’t have to thank our hosts for whuppin’ us.

I liken it to the “country club” Irish fan mentality who just wanted those nice Bulldog fans to have a great time in South Bend and didn’t really care that the stadium was 70% filled with red. These same folks were just happy Georgia fans were hospitable. They were overjoyed to take the close loss and well golly so happy to have not been spit on and cursed out during the game they wanted to show their appreciation. Always follow the money in all things and this clearly represents why the football program won’t get over the hurdle of being just good enough to lose to all the best teams. Also shows further evidence that this coach is not the biggest problem.
