Honestly, I don’t give a damn for what that guy thinks of ND.

Why?

Well, I feel like he has spent most of his career actually taking
subtle digs at us. I have no examples, I don’t write down what any of them say, the announcers, obviously. But he has always struck me as someone who either damned us with faint praise, or, even more unbearably, patronized us by praising our valiant effort in losses to teams like Clemson and his alma mater.
Again - it’s just my perception. ND is cool for the moment, so he is talking nice.
I know he’s a fine dude. No objection to him as a guy in any way. But I do not believe he likes ND.
Fowler I get, but for the most part Herbie is very high on The Irish when we're good..
If he wasn't a Tosu alum he could almost be mistaken as an ND fan at times.
He seems like a nice guy, owns a beautiful Golden Retriever and knows
What the hell he’s talking about.
But then again I don’t get into all this vitriolic hate people have for college football announcers.
I could care less where he went to school. Hell half the people on this board didn’t even go to Notre Dame.
He knows his football stuff. I think I remember a story where he had a dislike for ND because KenI
Graham transferred in and took away his potential playing time at Ohio State. He probably has a little bias like we all do some ways in life, but he is pretty darn good as far as football knowledge. When we are good he acknowledges it. Fowler is blatantly biased in my opinion.
I literally mute the broadcast. Neither one of them is much of a ND fan so I block em out.

He did come up with a few “ what” comments about the D but he’s better better than Brad & Gary D of
the sec.
FYI since CBS lost the SEC contract, Nessler and Danielson call the Big 10 now
I wonder if we get them for our Purdue game
Very possible. Danielson really dislikes ND
