A school that wouldn't be shit if it wasn't for football. Everything it has it can credit to football. The only reason its considered a good school is 1)people give money, because of football, so they have money to be a good school and 2)They get a flood of football bandwagon applicants, so they can only pick the best. So, really, a bunch of rich assholes. And with all that money they get, they can afford to pay referees to win football games for them.
How the hell did (name of college) win that football game against (name of good college)? They must have pulled a Notre Dame, and paid off the refs.

Get the Notre Dame mug.
The act of playing a patsie football schedule during the regular season against a bunch of inferior cupcakes, then receiving and accepting a bowl bid you dont deserve (because of your artifically inflated win-loss record) then proceeding to get utterly spanked by a superior opponent who legitimately deserves to be there.
Dude - did you catch that game? They got Notre Damed

A University in South Bend, Indiana with an economically, ethnically, and religiously diverse student body comprised of rich, white, and catholic assholes that think they are better than everyone else. They think their football program, which rarely makes a credible, if any, bowl game is the best and most storied in the nation. Their fans hate the University of Michigan, which is superior athletically and academically to notre dame. Michigan has more overall wins, a higher winning percentage, more all time bowl appearences, more national titles depending on who you ask, a winning record against ND and has produced two heisman winners since notre dame's last heisman winner. Michigan also wins in the intangibles, as the Michigan fight song, The Victors, is superior to the notre dame victory march, which, coincidentally after one of the many times Michigan destroyed notre dame. Michigan stadium is also superior to notre dame stadium, whose design was copied and scaled down from the former. HAIL TO THE VICTORS! Michigan is also academically superior to Notre Dame, as we all of Michigan's graduate schools are ranked in the top ten and undergraduate programs like business and engineering are ranked in the top 5.
ND student: We are the best and most storied football program in collegiate history. I am also white, republican, catholic, and rich, and everyone who is not is inferior to me.
Michigan student: Shut the fuck up.

Notre Dame claims to be a top school in the U.S. Unfortunately, they do little to earn the reputation. As of the 2004-2005 school year, they have no computer class requirement; they have no required communications class; their required writing class only insists that students turn something in and show up to class in order to pass. Notre Dame is a place to network with a lot of people who have "made it." It's not really a place for a serious education.
The University of Notre Dame is no better than a typical state university despite the hype.

One of the Best Colleges in the Nation. Not only is the school of the Fightin'Irish one of the top 20 schools in the nations (according to US News and Report), it is also one of the top 20 schools for Latino students. (notice how Latino = not all white people). Not only is it accredited as one of the finest educations in the lands, it is also one of the best Catholic universities in the nation. Notre Dame has a diverse selection of students, sports, and activities all on one of the most beautiful campus in the nation. Along with it's long standing academic and religious tradition, the Irish's football history and current program is top in the nation. (Charlie Weis is a good man). So if a Notre Dame student or alumni seems snobby, it's because they have every right to be, they go/went to Notre Dame, and not everyone can be so blessed.
hey did Notre Dame beat Michigan in that big ol' ugly stadium they have in 2005? OH yes..they did.

Tom: hey what is that redneck ass hole doin peeing by my dorm?
John: oh don't worry, he's a Michigan fan..he's most likely illiterate and drunk already.
Tom: but it's 5 AM
John: Like I said..michigan fan

ND fan: I go to Notre Dame, and therefore I am better than you. I am also catholic, republican, white, and rich, and I like a football team that blows.
Michigan fan: No shit...
