Stop being a little baby. We bullied the shit out of them

I’m sure that the author knows the difference between the words “bullying” and “dominating”, in fact he uses the word “dominating” in the heart of the article.
What you and others missed are the words that preceded “bullying”
The headline states “ Notre Dame BRINGS BACK BULLYING …………”
That implies dirty play !
Only a moron would deny the generally excepted definition of the word.
Those of you who claim to be sports fans might recall that was the term used to describe the Detroit Pistons, and it was term that was used with a highly negative connotation..
“ Bullying” Look it up
That headline was a cheap shot
It’s obvious that you didn’t attend Notre Dame, otherwise you would have known the definition of the word “bullying”
It implies intentional harm !
Have someone who understand the English language explain that to you?
We bullied the piss out of them. We emasculated them. We dismantled them. And we buried them
Great job ND Lax.
Great article by that guy. He hit the nail on the head in that article
The article was a good one.
The headline was terrible and a backhanded complement at best !
You can't read no surprise. The author basically gushed over the Irish. He couldn't say enough good things about the Lax team. It was an awesome article and a true one. We did bully them. We physically beat them up and down the field. He was exactly right. He was more than complimentary.
You PC police are embarrassing
The article was complimentary to Notre Dame. Very complimentary.
Based upon the comments in this thread I think you may be the only person here who read the headline as some kind of cheap shot. To bully someone can also mean to use intimidation to get your way. It doesn't automatically connote dirty play.
I may be wrong, but I believe you are a hockey fan. If so, I expect you recall the Philadelphia Flyers were called the "Broad Street Bullies" back in the day, because of their aggressive and physical style of hockey play. I am pretty sure nobody in Philadelphia was insulted by the name. To the contrary, I think they considered it a badge of honor.
And as you probably know, headlines are frequently written by editors, not the author of the piece. So it is highly likely the headline you are complaining about was not the work of the author.
Yes, I remember the Broad Steet bullies and they got that moniker for fighting and beating up opponents in hockey brawls and for setting the record for accumulating the most penalty minutes due to their tactics and enforcers.
Remember the phrase, “ I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out”
Everyone keeps avoiding the words that preceded the word, “bullying”,
The words“ brings back” !
When were we known to previously bully opponents ?
Last year., five years ago, 10 years ago ?
The headline was a cheap shot and whomever wrote that headline is irrelevant, it’s a cheap shot regardless of its author.
How could the article be anything but flattering?
The Lacrosse team only lost one game and that was in overtime
The lacrosse team won a good number of games by double digits, including the championship game.
I think the lacrosse team ranked number one in offense and number one in defense
The lacrosse team repeated winning the national championship
So how could the article be anything but favorable?
If I’m a child, I’m a child prodigy !
The headline was definitely a cheap shot,
As I stated previously, if the headline came out of ESPN, there would be almost unanimous agreement that it was a cheap shot.
The body of the article has nothing to do with the headline.
As to growing up and manning up, as the saying goes, you couldn’t hold my jockstrap and you’d have to add about 20+ points in order to come close to my IQ.
Where did we bring back bullying from ?
No it wasn't. It was a huge compliment. Stop being a PC p****
We did bring back bullying. We bullied them up and down the field
Extremely impressive. Stop crying and enjoy the win
It wouldn't be patty if he can't argue or bitch about something. He'd bitch if he got laid by Jennifer Aniston
The headline was complimentary and flattering to Notre Dame's style of LAX play.
There’s nothing wrong with arguing and debating different points of view,
Did you happen to look up the definition of bullying, it implies intentional harm.
I don’t think you’ll find me bitching about any subjects
Jennifer Aniston ?
She’s not my type, I tend to prefer a different look, like Heather Graham, Tia Leone and Kim Bassinger, but if you can arrange things with Jennifer, I won’t complain, ……… promise !
Sluggo longs for the day when the term BULLYING is used to describe the football team
So I guess I’m gonna have to explain it for the morons.
Most on this site are avid Notre Dame fans who have an inherent fondness for Notre Dame
But what about the people who read that headline who aren’t Notre Dame fans?
Those sports fans who are neutral or non-Notre Dame fans and anti-Notre Dame fans
That headline has a negative connotation, it shines to negative light on Notre Dame’s image
Keep in mind that a lot of people JUST read headlines and don’t bother to delve deeper into the article.
That headline just feeds into the negative bias for the anti-Notre Dame fan
That headline presents a negative image for the non-Notre Dame fan along with the neutral Notre Dame fan.
For those three fan categories, the headline puts a blemish on Notre Dame’s image.
It was a cheap shot intended for the broad spectrum of readers, and not just for Notre Dame fans.

That would mean that Notre Dame didn’t bring back bullying, that it always existed
So, as usual, your interpretation is dead wrong !
Shut up already. You are the only one who thinks that. Stop your bitching
The party continues!!!!.....
Kavanagh is your 2024 Tewaaraton Trophy Recipient!!!

It would appear that I have a greater interest in protecting the Notre Dame brand, image and reputation.
Maybe that’s a common thread amongst those that are more invested in Notre Dame, such as Notre Dame graduates,
Perhaps that sentiment isn’t felt as stridently amongst non-graduates.
