I hated these alumni when I was a student and now that we share a status I hate them even more.*** #NotreDame /1
I don't even want to point out that, even leaving aside his baggage, Urban Meyer lost by 29 to Purdue last year and 31 to Iowa the year before, or that he was 22-3 in 2017 and 2018 where Brian Kelly was 22-4. #NotreDame /2
Because you can't "leave aside his baggage." I do not want his ass anywhere near Our Lady's University.

Florida and Ohio State may be okay with the results of their devil's bargain; I'm not. And I sure as hell don't want to pay millions for his shady taint. #NotreDame /3
He's not that good, he's got a sleazy legacy, and even if he could win clean and wanted to try (he doesn't, by the way, or he would have already), since when have we been about doing it the easy way? #NotreDame /4
I expect flatulent hot takes about how ND can't compete from the haters who need to take us down a peg to feel better about how their school churns out dumb jocks who leave no mark on the world. I'll be damned if I listen to our own "fans" who want us to sell out. #NotreDame /5
And for what? To make their degrees worth more? (They won't.) To make it so they don't have to endure mockery on social media? (Still will.) To make their balls feel bigger? (Nobody's fooled.) #NotreDame /6
They want it all but have no idea what it's like to struggle and fail and work and fail and overcome and fail and fight and fail and fight and FIGHT and FIGHT SOME MORE. Jesus, some of them have quit as fans, and being a fan is, like, the easiest thing in the world. #NotreDame /7
That's not how life works. You don't get the gold without digging for it.

We're all out here trying to make Our Mother proud, and they're being the pretentious, entitled crybabies everyone thinks we all are.

I said it twenty years ago, and I repeat: Screw them. #NotreDame /8
***I am aware that many of them don't share a status with me because many of them aren't actually alumni. The irony tickles me, but that's not what this is about. #NotreDame /end
