It’s the Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rule. Wherever money is involved, you can be sure that people will act in their pecuniary interest, regardless of what they say publicly.

That aside, does anyone else find the whole College Gameday presentation to be rather cloying and annoying? I mute them.

As for GM, does anyone remember the story of National City Lines? It’s worth a look.

But, ESPN as part of its corporate strategy does a recurrent anti -ND number, to make money. I would deplore Lou being a part of it but the priests shafted him and I see his point. Any ND fan who wants to watch that is free to do so, but stock up on asbestos footwear for the long haul.

I was at Soldier’s Field for the Miami beatdown, and it was great! The next game with Miami will be even more of a tough ticket!

Enjoy the ride! It has been too long since we had a reson to be proud of our football team and their accomplishments.

GO IRISH!

I’m sorry you considered it a joke. I certainly didn’t intend it as one. I find their continued use of Corso reprehensible and yet another example of them putting the dollar ahead of the well-being of the sport.

The hypocrisy of a spokesman for the most widely read ND blog pleading for ND fans to represent the school well and not act like morons on national TV, while using a sophomoric joke about a stroke victim to make his point. Well done sir, well done.

Actually, I’m not so much ridiculing Corso, who I feel sorry for, nearly so much as I’m criticizing ESPN for taking someone obviously in need of retirement and parading him out there every week.

Corso provides plenty of fodder for ridicule without stooping to that. Beyond yourself, such comments reflect poorly on ND.

Absolutely it has. The advent of ESPN and the Big East killed ND basketball in the late 1980s. If ESPN has been fair in their treatment of ND basketball, it’s only because ND basketball can make them money. I don’t like being in that position.

It’s good that you can see hoops games on ESPN, but as the technology develops, there’s no reason you won’t be able to see it via a dedicated ND channel through und.com.

As an alum living in North Carolina who loves ND basketball as much as football (and I was there during the McLeod era!) I have to say that, although I agree for the most past about Gameday, I am thrilled with being to see almost every ND hoops game thanks to ESPN. More than that, I think the WWL has been quite fair in their treatment of ND Hoops. No?

I think it’s OK to acknowledge the first 8 games of the 2002 season….
