As I understand it, if you didn't graduate from the college you are not a real fan.

I have to get my opinion from Dan Bernstein on Twitter before answering this post.

I graduated and I played 1 year so Hub can suck my balls.

Well apparently following Irish football since 86 and enjoying it this year is "jumping on the bandwagon"

Better than "getting on the lift"

My fiancee is telling me the same thing right now, she is enjoying the comment section of Dan Wetzel's Yahoo column...and she fucking graduated from there.

Boyd, threaten to call off the wedding.

Is he even allowed to like HS football?

She thinks the idea of "Bandwagon Fans" is absurd.

I am neutral to the whole ND thing. She got me a hat and a t-shirt that are pretty sweet, and I do wear them...I'm still a Gator fan through and through, though.

Just peoples reactions to yesterdays events on fb, twittering, and real life.

RPB, are people questioning your ND fandom? That is a joke. Do you have to pull out old, rusty Irish gear to prove it?

I understand it to an extent. I hate the bandwagon fans that come out of the woodwork anytime a team like ND is good.

Those fans are there, it is hard to root far a 6-6 team for a decade. Who wants to be a fan of a crummy team anyways?

Aren't you a Bills fan?

Exactly, when that decade comes that they are a contender again, I will wait for the dummies to say "you were never there when we sucked". Kinda what Irish fans are going through now.

You can be a fan, just be careful not to cross over to the point where you start using non-football related reasons to put others down.

There is nothing worse than a Notre Dame fan who couldn't even dream of getting into Notre Dame talking about how great the academics are there or how you are just jealous that you aren't an Irish fan.

*SIGH* Look, uh, eh, eh, you shouldn't be a fan of college sports period, uh, uh, I mean, again, in point of fact, these so-called sports are just lesser versions of the pros, and uh, uh, again, too slow, too small, and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TOO DAMN WHITE!!!, but look, eh, eh, eeeee, I mean, I covered this crap for a long time, a looooooooong time, and again, in my world, I've seen all the hillbilly yahoos in these jerkwater towns like Champaign and Lawrence and Lincoln, not to mention Pedophile Valley, Pennsylvania, and again, uh, uh, uh, some of the biggest walking rectums I've ever met are fans of college football.
