[QUOTE="chiefini, post: 1654064, member: 11271"] I am an Irish Catholic. I absolutely DESPISE Notre Dame. Illinois Football has never beaten them; we’re 0-11-1. I do not understand how any Illini fan could cheer for them, ever. Many “subway Irish” in Chicago show no allegiance to their state school. The last two times we played them, the Illini lost to Notre Dame in 1967- 47-7 and in 1968 58-8. I was in high school when I sat through (with my dad and my brother who was a sophomore at U of I) that entire 1968 slaughter in Champaign where Notre Dame just kept pouring it on. In addition, Brian Kelly, ND coach, let a student photographer/videographer, Declan Sullivan, die while screaming at emergency personnel to get off the field because they were interfering with practice. He kept the team practicing while he went to check on Declan. That win at all costs mentality and arrogance is despicable to me. I will never forgive or forget. [/QUOTE]
