I'm 31 years old and beginning to think I'll never see ND win a championship. I know they won when I was 2 but to me that doesn't count since I didn't see/experience it. Ever since I was 5 I had a passion for watching ND football with my dad. I poured my heart and soul into every Saturday and anytime there was a big game it usually ended with me crying. The older I get the the tears have turned into cursing rants where my wife gets upset with me. It has gotten to a point where I'm depressed watching ND football. I have a 6 month old son and want him to have memories like I had with my dad. The only problem is I hope he doesn't become an ND fan. If he does it will only be a lifetime of disappointment. I'm tired of ND claiming to have higher standards blah blah blah. I'm tired of pouring my heart and soul into ND football. I don't have it in me to become a fan of another school but I can't continue watching the pathetic administration, pathetic coaching and downright pathetic emotion the players play with. The stress this causes me affects my health and the relationships of those close to me. I will always love ND but it's time for a change. Time to enjoy life with family and no longer make Saturdays in fall about ND football. I respect all of the hardcore ND fans on this board. I have enjoyed reading posts on this board to keep me entertained at work. Until ND makes changes with their administration and coaching which will probably never happen I have to step away from following them. I have nothing but the best wishes for all of you that continue to hope, pray and expect ND to become the ND I grew up hearing stories about.
Notre Dame football is depressing

can't disagree with the title of the thread.. or most of the rest.. ND football hasn't been good since 1993.. That is 24 long years of sucking..
Boy, you have hit a nerve. Watched a lot of big games with my dad; 66 battle with MST.
73 NC game against Alabama; Sunday morning Lyndsey Nelson replays after Mass.
Lou Holtz used to say you owe it to all the players who wore thst jersey before you to give your all plus some.
That is so true except Swarbrick missed that memo. Keeping this embarrassing coach and theme of the program around is doing a total disservice to all the very players of past years.
This has become a joke.
Sadly.
You said it best with your second to last sentence. Nothing will change though. Girly glasses AD will start the spin tour of what a heckuva turnaround this has been in 2017.
Sunday morning replays was what really made me a fan when I was a kid. They were the best!
After last nights performance, I seriously doubt any NY6 bowl is calling. I’m 39 so I feel the posters pain and every year I buy my tix along with my “lucky” hat since every years’ gear before has proven otherwise. Don’t know what else to do and I’m not going to stop cheering but as most of us have stated, it’s been much easier these past few years to find an excuse on Saturday’s and DVR the games. I think blaming Kelly is the obvious choice but Swarbrick and Jenkins have as much too do with the current predicament of this mediocre program.
