Pat I can’t imagine what your blood pressure is but it must be out of control for you to get this worked up on a stupid message board.
Irish, my blood pressure is consistently 124/62 or slightly higher.
I‘m not “worked up” at all, I’m having fun and enjoying the exchanges.
Although, I’m sometimes stunned by some of the posts.
The problem with the internet is that you can’t determine one’s mindset or disposition, you can’t interpret their body language or tone, so we’re all in the dark with regard to each posters state of mind and/or intent.
One of the things that I’ve observed over the years is how passionate Notre Dame fans are when discussing football.
You don’t see that intensity regarding basketball, hockey, Lacrosse, etc., etc.
My uncle went to ND and “88 Brennan” remembered him when I attended many years later.
The first football game I ever bet on was ND vs Oklahoma in 1957 when my new neighbor who just moved in from Beaumont, Texas kept telling me how ND was going to get killed. So I broke open my piggy bank and took all the money I had and bet on ND. I had no clue about point spreads so it was an even- up bet.
A month earlier the Soviets launched Sputnik, which caused me to want to become an Engineer.
After ND beat Oklahoma the die was cast and I set my sights on attending ND.
There years later I entered my freshman year.
No matter the score I stay or watch the game until the clock runs out.
So, i’ve been an ardent fan af ND’s for over 65 years.
I was apoplectic about the Faust hire, disappointed with the Davie hire, hopeful with the Weis hire, resentful of the way that Kelly left and dubious about the Freeman hire.
BUT, through it all, I‘ve loved Notre Dame and Notre Dame football.
So, I’m not worked up or upset about anything, but thanks for your concern.
GO IRISH ! 🍀
