I think it's good all these young folk are able to witness the aura of ND entitlement and delusion. Most thought I was exaggerating about how bad it used to be, now they'll get to witness it the next few yrs.

I've definitely seen this before. I remember in 2002 (I think? It was early 2000s) ND started the season unranked, and after starting off 2-0 was in the top 10. I was shocked. But I think the biggest factor for me personally (and probably many others) is that I live in the south and don't know any notre dame fans. I don't have to interact with any domers, and only really hear ND love fests if I watch ESPN. However, I know many many alabama fans and interact with them daily, not to mention UGA recruits heavily against bama year after year.

And let's be totally honest here, it's not like bama doesn't have that same "aura" about them too

These are older folks, 40-75. I just think its funny that the main fault to the heisman in recent years has been, the best player on the best team issue, and then they redeem themselves and actualy give it to a great player, then madness ensues. Teo stats were very meh, he should not have even been a finalist
