Notre Dame Gets Smarter Every Day

Yeah, this season's been pretty tough already for the Irish. With the team's struggles, the departure of Demetrius Jones, and the heat Charlie Weis is taking, it would be great if the Irish could beat Michigan State tomorrow.

Will they?

I doubt it. Hell, they've basically given up already.

Adidas is giving out 75,000 white towels on Saturday for Charlie Weis' charity, Hannah & Friends, and the official Notre Dame Web site, UND.com.

The towels, given out on a first-come, first-serve basis, will read "Tradition Never Graduates -- Notre Dame Football."

Oh, that's just fantastic. Let's give all the Irish fans white flags to wave around.

What makes this even worse, aside from that whole "We Quit" syndrome? Well, as Blue Gray Sky points out,

So let me get this straight. Notre Dame stadium is going to be filled with Notre Dame fans wearing dark green Notre Dame shirts and waving white towels......while playing against a Michigan State team that has a rally cry of "Go Green, Go White."

Is this team trying to make me hate them this year? Do they not want me rooting for them anymore? Who in the hell thought that waving a white flag was a good idea?

Maybe next week against Purdue we can all war gold and black, you know, cuz if the Purdue fans can't recognize us they can't point and laugh.
