Someone asked me yesterday why I hate ND and I explained it to him.
Anyone here under 40 know why most LSU fans hate them?

I think it started in 1969, when LSU was 9-1 (only loss was to Archie Manning led Ole Miss Team). Notre Dame came in late and got the bid to play for the Title and LSU was left out. My dad was on that 1969 team, and they all got a plaque with a big brass screw on it that read, "we got screwed in 69'".

Do you not remember when we played them a few years back? Absolutely the most self entitled bunch of fans I've ever encountered. That and the media love year in and year out for absolutely no reason.

I assumed it was the same hate we have for all media darling teams that get undeserved praise. The very praise LSU covets and never receives.

Pretty close. In 1969, LSU had several bowl bids but turned them down, waiting on the bid for the "Title Game". ND (8-1-1) decided to lift their 20+ year Bowl ban, so the Cotton Bowl took ND because of National coverage. LSU (9-1) never went to a bowl game.

Are there not a lot of ND fans in LA still? When I lived there it was either LSU or ND...and that's it. I thought the hate centered more around that. Never knew about the '69 thing.

I'm under 40 and I started hating them purely because of the excessive media attention they get even their team is below average. Same goes for my friends.
But imo 1969 was too long ago to still carry a gripe. Same for 2003 and USC hatred.

When I was at LSU in the early 90's, I grew to hate on all of my classmates who I saw wearing ND gear. It drove me crazy. The gates at LSU don't have locks, so if you like ND so much, go ahead and enroll there.

The 1969 decision to get into a bowl and bummping LSU out is why I hate them, and their OVERWHELMING sense of entitlement orchestrated by the lead conductor, Lou Holtz, makes them even more of "The Team YOu Love to Hate." The game we played up there I think was stolen from us on a few bad calls. As a good Catholic, you would think the pope is the head coach. I certainly can be at communion on Sunday with no lost for ND, the swellheads of the college football world.
"This year, (substitute any year), will be the year that ND competes for the national championship." Asentence that runs continually in the head of Lou Holtz.

quote:When I think of Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami, FSU, etc. I always draw the visual in my mind of those annoying people we all knew growing up. They went to the mall and bought a Starter jacket for bandwagoning team of choice. They watched bandwagoning team on tv yet never went to a game, not even when those teams played in the Sugar Bowl. Those types lived in Baton Rouge, and if you tried to talk about college football and LSU, were laughed out the room as though you were the retarded one not pulling for the cool team. LSU was definitely not the "cool" team to pull for (whatever the hell that means).

When I think Notre Dame, I get memories of that. I also get satisfaction bumping into a few of those types now, and now they're all of a sudden these "huge" LSU fans, 25 years after the fact.

Frick ND and their NBC contract.

THE GHOST OF ROCKNE SNUCK ITS WAY INTO THE COTTON BOWL SELECTION COMMITTEE because ND decided, that year (1969) to get back into the bowl business. They were highly ranked (Joe Theisman and friends). Folks in Dallas thought ND was a better draw than LSU (we were 9-1) and was wanting a National draw instead of something regionally. We played 'em in late in 70 at South Bend (lost 3-0) and again in 71 in BR (won 28-8). Kind of Bert Jones' coming out party...I was 15 at the time and that's what I remember...

I can say why ND fans hate us......the arse whoopin they received in the 06 sugar bowl was the last time jamarcus russell looked like a real qb lol

When I was a kid growing up in Slidell, it seemed most fans rooted for LSU on sat and rooted for notre dame on sunday. That schitzophrenic split personality made me loathe nd

Watching the game in NYC, Tiger fans went nuts when Pitt was up on ND. Some New Yorkers there (ND fans) were confused. Why the hate?
I got to explain the '69 Cotton Bowl scenario.
Chronologically, I'm over 40.

ooooh. that would be quite nice to play USC this year in a bowl game. i didn't even think about that. that'd be bad-arse.

I'm under 40, but I'm still a man, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the arse kicking we gave them in 2006 in person.
God that team was stacked. Jamarcus, Doucet, Laron, Bowe, Hester, and on and on and on

They were college football's "Americas Team" much like the Cowboys claim today. The '73 Sugar Bowl for the NCC against Bama in old Tulane Stadium was one of the greatest games ever played. ND won.
Some have a sense of entitlement and can be snobbish, my ND friends who came in for the 2007 LSU Sugar Bowl complained about the city, food and anything else that came to mind. LSU's win in their mind was b/c we played at "home."
Used to follow them but haven't in many years. Their rivalry games against USC are well worth watching.
