The world has always hated Notre Dame. If you are amongst those people, I would run for cover.
Even the Bible supports Notre Dame football. Exodus 22:20 states: "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed."
The Lord in this case, is Touchdown Jesus. Maybe that's why they've won 76 out of 110 games in the shadow of Touchdown Jesus since 1990.
In 1909, Notre Dame slaughtered Michigan, and the Wolverines refused to play the Fighting Irish for 33 years. John 7:37 says that, "Jesus stood up and shouted, "If you are thirsty, come to me and drink! Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you."
The Fighting Irish have been drinking God's water on the sidelines for centuries of football games.
In the 1913 game against Army, Notre Dame slew the Black Knights using the power of God himself. The press would later say, "In an afternoon, the university had acquired intense emotional commitments from a whole generation of Catholic working-class supporters and defenders that would endure for years."

Notre Dame does not just have the power of God working for them: They have the power of the people.
What the general American public believes in is correct—and that is why Notre Dame football is on national television. Even when they play the Duke Blue Devils, there is national coverage of the game.
This is despite the fact that John 8:44 tells them to kill all members of the Duke team: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
And Notre Dame fans want to win. I remember before the national championship game in 1989, my neighbor, a longtime fan and alumni of Notre Dame, sacrificed his family dog before the game.
The LORD demands it, and Notre Dame alumni shall obey: "Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will point out to you."
Exodus 21:20 also states that: "When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property."
This probably explains why Notre Dame holds a 73 percent winning percentage against the SEC since 1920.

This has to be the worst article I have ever read. Why would someone sacrifice a dog? That's not funny at all, and this article is a disgrace to God.

Inspired and inspiring. Those scripture quotes are slightly less mis-interpreted in your article than in Catholic Mass.

The Bible also teaches that "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18), and even though Israel was God's chosen people, He helped their enemies defeat them numerous times to teach them a lesson. Perhaps this explains Notre Dame's fall from prominence in recent years. Have they been humbled yet? We'll see.

I have to assume this article is a back-handed attempt at ND bashing which I am all for. If that was your slant, you should have added a bit more hate to the mix.
BTW, I thought the Dallas Cowboy's was God's team? He has a college football team as well? I wonder who he roots for in WWE?

Though it appears to be a mock against ND I actually found it to be a solid article. Nice work.

This is one of the many reasons why people dislike ND. The fans have a god complex like stated within.

What are you talking about? Who says the author is an ND fan? Its meant to be a funny/joking article. Stop taking yourself so seriously.
NOW REPENT OR ELSE YOU GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!

I've been a Notre Dame fan for about 50 years and I really don't think God cares one way or the other who wins a fotball game but if we're going to pray for something before a game, lets pray that neither team's players are seriously injured. Now I think that's something God would be willing to listen too. Harold

My priest always gives me $hit for bashing Notre Dame, but I guess I'd rather be a bad Catholic than a delusional college football fan.

God must have been napping during the 38-0 thumping Michigan laid down last season.

He was certainly wide awake when Harry Oliver kicked a 51-yard field goal to beat Michigan in 1980. The wind was blowing in his face before the kick, and then magically stopped.

Well he came through for you guys in spades last year, didn't he? He must have been sloppy-drunk all year, passing out in front of the toilet when you needed him.

In the Bible it was a miracle when a jackass spoke, but with you I see that it has become a daily occurance.

you guys are retarded. Its a tongue in cheek article having some fun. Stop getting all high and mighty. Most of you who read the article probably are not ND fans, and only read the article hoping it would shred the team.
nothing from the article gives you reason to believe the author is even and ND fan. (see the arkansas helmet).

yah and notice how he always finds a way to trash the SEC.

Thomas, you were born in the wrong era. The late '60's to early '90's would have appreciated you more.

Well to explain why they had a miserable season last year it is because they covered up Touchdown Jesus with a score board. Way to got AD's

Pretty funny.
I think, though, all the good references to Notre Dame in the New Testament have been expunged by the last Congress of Italian Cardinals. They wanted to spite American football in favor of soccer.

If Abraham is Notre Dame and Isaac is Boston College, do you think he (or she) will intervene this year to prevent the slaughter?
