Would be interested in knowing exactly what that means, but this isn’t the time or place.
At this point, who you pulling for ?
- Thread starter wondrboy
- Start date
What do you see as the difference between the two? He has made comments / done things which the media can use to try to ruffle feathers or push a narrative, but I am unaware of any statements / actions which would be contrary to fundamental catholic teachings.
Never align against Jesus. You will lose, every time. Choose your words more carefully next time.
I get the hate for Sandusky, Paterno, and all others involved, but why hate the school today? This all happened years ago. Paterno has been dead for nearly 13 years. Is there anyone still remaining at that school who was involved with the coverup?
I never root for Notre Dame unless I completely despise the opponent.
So, go Irish!!!
So, go Irish!!!
I’m really pulling for Tom Brady to land on his feet after his devastating divorce…..
Exactly. Tell that to 60ish % of American Catholics lol. Because they seem to want the faith to be something like it has been throughout history at times, which is an abomination.
Exactly. PSU is tied for my second B1G that I cheer for with OSU since they were our fellow rebellious covid buddy. Huskers first and foremost though obviously.
1. Notre Dame
2. Tie between PSU/OSU
Fvck Texass.

Looks like there was something lost in translation. The teachings are the teachings, that hasn’t changed, nor should it. What’s the abomination? Because I don’t think Francis has changed anything.
It's probably an Iowa troll. They love to live vicariously through winning programs. Why they are always on our board.OMG we have a Texass voter
I think we’re mostly deciding based on whose fan base is the most insufferable. personally, for most of us, that’s gonna be Texas every time. It’s been a long time since any of our skirmishes with Penn State have been personal. We share a mutual hate of Michigan with Ohio State.
I believe we’ll be mildly satisfied as long as anyone but Texas wins.
We're college sports fans. There's no room for rationality.
For me is the arrogant and naive status of the big. Remember Covid when NU said they wanted to play. Then the pitch forks were all sharpened about kicking NU out of the league for the audacity of such a thing. Led by Desmond Howard and at the time commish Warren. Penn st should have at least had a few suspended seasons but the media almost went sympathetic on PSU. That is by far the worse scandal. But there has been many more by schools. And none of those scandals resulted in a call to be kicked out of the league.
Or pulling for explosive diarrhea, projectile vomiting, raging STD, or painful rectal itch. Those teams are kinda a distinction without a difference.
A million years ago when I was in HS playing football we had a playoff game against Humphrey St. Francis. Our school bus pulled up to their school next to the church with the giant spire, dead silence on the bus - and a guy on our team uttered these words, "Boys, I don't think God is on our side today." It brought the house down. We won.
I think there are still a lot of PSU fans who have serious blinders on about Joe Paterno being totally innocent in the whole deal - so it's not so much the school that a lot of people dislike, it's their fans (I live close to PSU country - I have met many such fans)
Eh. Nebraska fans would do the same if it was Tom and came to light post championships 🤷🏻♂️
I won't say I like OSU but I dislike them much less than the other 3. Top 4 reasons below.
1. They were sort of with us during the covid year and didn't talk shit about kicking us out of the conference because we dared say we wanted to play football.
2. I spent a fair amount of time in Ohio for work last year and anticipate the same for this year, so I'm buddies with some OSU fans.
3. They almost always curb stomp Iowa.
4. Their fans are generally less arrogant than Notre Dame, Texas or Michigan.

Talk to anyone outside Nebraska about Lawrence Phillips. There are a lot of opinions formed about Dr. Tom’s handling.
I’m not comparing these to the tragedies at Penn State but just saying the opinions of LP handling are waaaaaay different than most views from TO supporters.
I don’t care too much. Would prefer Notre Dame. Had OSU +500 from the middle of the season and just hedged with Notre Dame at +325
Get a grip. Touchdown Jesus is a Notre Dame football thing. I won't go to hell for disliking it.
My thought as well. I also think it’s less likely that Rhule would want to take that job if they had just reached the mountain top with somebody else.
If they are still not able to get over the hump, and Rhule has lots of success at Nebraska then I think that door is more likely to be open for him to want to be their savior down the road.
Notre dame for sure. Freeman brought back gameday mass, their offense is fun to watch, the defense is smashmouth with a great secondary. I enjoy watching them and as another stated ready for an old school blue blood like Nebraska get back to the top.
OSU I could live with.
Penn State Nah.
Texas HECK NO.

Yeah I don't think there's any way K-State finishes tied for 8th place in the Big 12 if Howard stays. Johnson is a media darling.
Agreed. I've always hated Notre Dame. I don't like Ryan Day. Penn State harbored a child molester and covered it up and there's an undeserved arrogance among their alumni that is very annoying. And nobody likes Texas.
Which makes it concerning when a catholic (presumably) differentiates between the pope and tradition … and then won’t respond.
