College Football Tough Calls Week 3

[InvincibleCakeEater]

Good grief, I hate Notre Dame as much as anybody and I find the "domaz" thing obnoxious. Using it in place of the school 5 times a post makes you look like the one incapable of any type of logical construct.

I don't even know what the hell it means.

"Domers" noun, pl. Notre Dame fans, referring to the Golden Dome adorned with Touchdown Jesus.

I've been to a lot of USC-Notre Dame games and have always seen Notre Dame fans as just passionate in support of their team. The worst fan experience I ever had was the 1994 Rose Bowl, UCLA fans were arrogant to the point of insulting until Terry Donahue's boys committed 6 turnovers and Wisconsin won, 21-16. Many had left by the end.

Fans with a sense of entitlement are annoying from any school. ndistops you are welcome to post in these threads but it shouldn't be a surprise if you get some back and forth banter.

I won't deny that I loathe the domaz, but where have I mentioned Purdue in this thread? This is about why I think Michigan State will win this week at home...hell, I even TOOK the domaz over Michigan in Week 2!

It just sounded like you were on NDistops a little for being kind of a 'homer', I'm just sayin he's probably as much a 'homer' as you are a 'hater' (as in the rivalry makes it hard to be objective), and I mean that in the nicest way. Michigan State/ND game is always wild. What was it, 3 years ago that Michigan State was up like 30 points and blew it? I went with the home team and can't say I disagree with you on Cousin's. I picked MSU as well, just sayin knockin on ND for being fan is a little over the top.

And TT is right, there are half a dozen pronouns you can use instead of domer/doma/domas/domaz. Irish, ND, Notre Dame etc. Variety is the spice of life.

Please...he/she called me out, and I responded. I was "on" him/her for a poorly constructed argument; the fact that he/she is a partisan of the University of Our Lady Located in South Bend, Indiana, USA is simply an added bonus.

My apologies to any and all whose sensibilities were assaulted because of my lack of deference... as Isaac Hayes so succinctly put it in the Theme from Shaft:

"I'm jus' talkin' 'bout (Domaz)!!"

Denard Robinson ain't got [expletive] on Kirk Cousins.

This tells me all I need to know.

To be fair, Purdue displeasure with ND runs pretty deep and you're probably likely as colored against ND as most fans for.

Edit - I thought when someone said x ain't got [expletive] on y, that means y is way better? So he was agreeing with you?

I was being sarcastic. Kirk Cousins isn't a bad quarterback, but to suggest that there's any way that he could play BETTER against ND than Denard Robinson did is patently insane.

Thanks. I'd have gotten in on the contest if I'd noticed it before the season. College football is the sport I'm most passionate about (as, I'm sure, is the case for a lot of people, including it would seem Messr. PurdueSTL) so I'm prone to the occasional bout of impatience.

Go ahead and enter the contest from here on out. You've only missed two weeks, and the final results are based on winning percentage among everyone that has enough entries (if you do the rest of them, I'd be shocked if you didn't have enough).

Alright then - in that case, here are my picks:

Arkansas
Wisconsin
Texas
Notre Dame
Iowa
Georgia Tech
West Virginia
