Classic, take downs. I esp liked the embarrassment you heaped upon the board mod at NDN who claimed “secret sources” said that our our 20 yo ND student RB Jafar Armstrong was soft. Armstrong had gone down with an injury which later proved to be an abdominal wall muscle tear which required surgery - and he made it back to the team in the same year.
Perhaps said board mod lacks any abdominal muscles of his own with which to relate to this kind of injury?
NDNation is not worthy of your prowess DM871. I peruse boards now and again, and I know real talent when I see it. May you flame gloriously as you exit to a better life here with actual ND fans.

I pretty much very politely called him out a few years ago on a subject on which he was both hypocritical about and the "secret" knowledge he claim to have he couldn't have had, and he booted me.
Hey, it is their site and they can run it however they like. It used to be a solid site but it has become the a shallow reflection of what it once was. The raging joke (to everyone but them) is that they have always claimed to be the higher ground but just aren't anymore. It almost as much fun to read it as it is to go on Facebook.
In the meantime, this mod's fellow brute squad member (a self-acknowledge expert on most everything) violates the board rules ( that he is supposed to be enforcing ) on almost a weekly basis and he just backs him up.
We all know the real board rules over there:
1. Brian Kelly is a bad bad man.
2. Jack Swarbrick is a downright evil man who enables Brian Kelly and is responsible for other 'crimes.'
3. Jenkins mindlessly enables both of them.
4. If you agree with us, you can post virtually anything and have free reign to attack and bully those who don't agree with rules 1, 2, and 3.
5. If a poster has the temerity to even politely disagree, they are attacked and booted while the attackers range free without repercussion.
It has really become quite predictable.

One mope was hoping that Jurk and BC beat ND to show up Kelly because “he never gave Jurk a chance”. What a joke. Jurk was horrible in the spring game and never progressed. Clark looked better.... but hey, ND Nation are the smartest people in the room. LOL.

there. Hope he comes here now, or maybe it will be later after he eventually pisses off the “all is bad” crowd over there.
I don't miss posting on their main board.
My "banning" was basically a child-like temper tantrum from a bully who had been called on his line of baloney. Funny thing is I had another posting encounter with that same mod on another part of the board when he posted a pretty nonsensical know-it-all comment in my field of professional expertise. I basically tried to have a polite discussion with him re: his misinformation in-wherein he proceeded to denigrate my profession as generally filled with "incompetent clowns" ( I used to have his post saved somewhere) or something like that. I just let it go, knowing that any further discussion which just result in another ban and make the bully feel good about himself (insert meme re: Tim Allen ape grunt).
I couldn't tell, there were so many ads loading...
They are the political equivalent of Never Trumper Republicans while UM fans would be Democrats in that analogy
(ok, even I would apologize to Dems for the comparison, but I was trying to make the point).
When in fact, there are the antithesis of that , I know many ND fans, they are passionate, loyal, love the school, and live and die with its fortunes on saturday afternoon....Other schools posters who peruse that site, have a small opinion of ND fans They dont realize those people arent ND fans, hate the school , and some are just trolls..If I was a mod, and a grad, Id be ashamed of that site..
It is their sanctimonious "curating" of the message boards that make it so pathetic.
If you dare to disagree with what has become the board raison d'etre, you are quickly suppressed with posts by board mods or their proxies(yep no one there is allowed more than one handle....yeah right!!!!) that frequently violate their sacred rules. Heck if you dare to even disagree/pose an alternate theory involving one of the board gods..oops sorry I meant Mods, on one of the non-football boards (which can be somewhat interesting), you can get what amounts to a stare down. so if you want to post there you quickly learn who to stay away from them..
And while attacks by board minions are tolerated with "if you don't like what they say, block them..," the disagreeable heretics are frequently eradicated.
As I posted, it is their site and they can run it however they like.
Why bother posting that crap on a football board? You don't care, or you aren't going to watch? Fine, now STFU.
The Loathsome Asshole to Normal Person ratio over there is pretty high.
I managed to sneak back on after a few years but only because I enjoy the women's basketball board, which is uncharacteristically positive!
