Throwing Stones In A Big House
I’m usually game for Notre Dame bashing. Here is a team that hasn’t fielded a nationally worthy team in decades, has lost 15 games in the the past two years, and is still showered with bizarre amounts of national media attention. One of my favorite non-Cal, non-Northwestern college football moments was the 2001 Fiesta Bowl, where a clearly undeserving Notre Dame team got obliterated by a scarily talented, and nationally under appreciated, Oregon State squad.
So I should be down with Jon Chait’s having some fun at the expense of the woeful Fighting Irish. But seriously, Jon, do you really want to use your Michigan Wolverines, who were 3-9 this past year, as a point of comparison? I mean, they lost to Northwestern. At home.
