Texas A&M got absolutely screwed. Unbelievable.
— Adam Spencer (@AdamSpencer4) March 13, 2022
Texas A&M: 22-11
Notre Dame: 21-10
A&M: 4-9 in Quad 1
ND: 2-8
A&M: 42 in NET
ND: 53
A&M: SEC tourney finalist
ND: lost in quarterfinals
🤔🤔🤔
when factoring in the whole season, A&M is above ND in every metric:
— TrashTripod (@TripodTrash) March 14, 2022
NET, Pom, Sangarin, KPI, BPI, SOR, SOS. Twice as many Q1 wins. Over twice as many Q1 + Q2 wins.
AND a fucking head-to-head win on a neutral court OVER ND.
Every single god damn metric.
94 Cotton Bowl was my first Aggie football game. I brought the curse.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:

I've never had any issues with Notre Dame. I think their uniforms are the best in football. I think their stadium is awesome. It's an elite academic school. It did piss me off when they started spewing hate toward A&M. I definitely thought that was rich coming from them but I also realize, in the world of social media, the words of a few can make it seem as though they speak for everyone. In the end, I don't root for them but I also don't root against them either(unless it impacts us).
Are you kidding? It was the Notre Dame Vice President for university relations not some anonymous internet troll.
Or, if we're being real, that dude was an out of touch moron who had no connection to the sports program, nor idea who he was quoting.Quote:
I know. Which proved they are scared AF. They are insecure. We need to embrace their insecurities..
This #NotreDame fan is girding his loins for the future when he can watch the Irish tromp those hicks at #TexasAM and make pig fart noises in #Arkansas. pic.twitter.com/XYxgXj4F9v

I think real reason is more (I) that they are Catholic university, (ii) they are independent and (iii) they have national tv deal.
I don't hate ND. Actually, football wise, I don't give them much thought. I think that is because they are not competing to win any conference on annual basis.
As a fan of CFB I love to think about the times when as the ND head coach Bob Davie would regale the ND fans about stories of A&M traditions while they fumed that he wasn't talking enough about the gipper and Rudy.Jarrin' Jay said:
I don't have anything personally against ND and as a CFB fan I like their history and watching them play when they have a big game..... but overall their schedule is soft and they are always overrated and benefit from their name and history vs. what they accomplish on the field.
ANY other team with the exact same resume in 2020 A&M makes the CFP over that team, but not ND.
They probably have the best game of opening weekend.... and will probably move up in the rankings after the lose by 20+...

Fans were not excited about Davie's promotion. His habit of referring to the traditions of Texas A&M University rather than those of Notre Dame alienated many fans.[url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Davie_(American_football)#cite_note-eden42-4][4][/url]
Early on, it was a time when there was not near as much college football on TV as there is today. Nothing close. So to have a game - even one game a season in some cases - on TV was a big deal for a program.Quote:In the80s & 90s they were on TV every freaking Saturday across the nation…they had a huge advantage and still were mediocre most of the time. Anybody else would have worked that into multiple championships Screw the ND favoritism .
I guess the company owners thought everyone loved "Rudy". I doubt these folks went to Joliet Catholic, much less Notre Dame.rootube said:
Here's my Notre Dame story. I once worked for a consulting firm who was outsourcing a call center for a cut rate insurance company owned by ND grads. As you can imagine, morale was terrible and most people who had options had already left the company. We discussed various incentive programs to encourage employees to stick around until we could move their jobs offshore. Ultimately the ND grads chose to print cards for every employee (at an insane expense) in Notre Dame colors that described the Notre Dame fighting spirit and included excerpts from Knute Rockne's speech and implored the employees to play like a champion today! Keep in mind, the majority of these employees never went to college. That was a rough ride the next couple of month until they closed the office in south Chicago and moved the company to the burbs.

You weren't the only one. Navy, gold, and green confetti from the rafters. I noticed it when it happened. Either someone flipped the wrong switch, or the Final Four really didn't think our women had a chance.Double A said:
Not football, but remember when our women's basketball team won the NC over ND? Was I the only one who noticed the confetti that rained down on team was in navy blue and gold? Coincidence? Guess the NCAA thought they knew who would win the game. I wasn't mad about it, but it did amuse me.
