Whether you love us or hate us, I'm proud to be in the SEC, so just don't include me as one of the ones who wanted to be in the big 10,11,12,...or whatever they want to call themselves these days.

I couldn't agree more!!! Couldn't be happier to be in the SEC!

I took his comment about "those damn Catholics" to be those that run Notre Dame University and not Catholics in general.


I have to agree with both of these comments. I think alot of people are making a big deal out of this just because they can. While it probably went a little overboard with the Catholics talk I also think that the ONLY people that can rightfully be upset would be ND people.

If this were Urban Meyer or some head football coach, nobody would care. The uproar exists because 1.) It is a college president and 2.) It is the president of Ohio State, the institution on par with Notre Dame, USC, and Texas as far as places other fans love to hate. If this were the president of Indiana or Purdue, nobody would give a flying frick.

"You know, for what was almost assuredly a lighthearted joke in an attempt to win the audience, a lot of you folks sure have your jimmies rustled over it. I can't say that it really offends me at all. Maybe I'm just not insecure about my education."


Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you the one who just posted a feed talking shite about the SEC..... Please STOP posting..... I asked nicely!

I noticed you're still relatively new here so I'll give you some advice: take nothing that you see on this forum seriously.

So I was correct? I just find it quite funny that you would talk shite in 1 feed then say "us" in the other.... I dont think the amount of time I have been here has anything to do with pointing out hypocrisy.... Just sayin.....

He's certainly come in guns ablaze. I wouldn't call it as much ownage as I would pointing out the obvious which occurs on the Rant everyday.

Yeah it may have been offensive. But nothing Gee said was inherently wrong.

Did you listen to the whole recording? Not only was he wrong but the ACC may have some ammunition in their lawsuit against Maryland in the exit fee case.

I was more or less referring to the major comments about Notre Dame's leadership, as well as the academic prestige of the SEC and Louisville.

Out of those comments, pretty much every word was spot on.

C'mon man, you know good and well that if Urban or any other coach said this there would be just as much backlash. And itd be even worse if it were Urban because youd have a plethora of bammers saying that king gump supposesly made him quit, yada yada yada.

Just sat and listened to the whole recording.

Conclusion: I really f'ing like this guy. He holds no punches, and doesn't really care who knows. There's no way he would've apologized if he wasn't forced to.

And ya, he was spot on with the majority of comments.

I heard him say that the B1G contacted Maryland to influence them to leave the ACC.

He may have just helped the ACC put a lot of B1G money in their pocketbook.

I'm glad you caught that.

I was beginning to worry.
