INDIANAPOLIS -- Having put up with hecklers at Notre Dame, President Barack Obama got in a shot of his own at the school whose renowned football team has gone its longest stretch without a national championship. After giving the commencement speech at Notre Dame, Obama spoke at an Indianapolis fundraiser Sunday night for the Democratic National Committee. He began his remarks by joking that he told The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, that the controversy surrounding his campus appearance "paled in comparison to what to do about the football team." The Fighting Irish "That's an issue we may not resolve within my four years," Obama said. had records of 3-9 and 7-6 the past two seasons -- the most losses at the school in a two-year period -- and haven't won a national championship since 1988. "Eight," shouted someone from the audience. "All right, well, maybe in eight we might get it done," Obama said.
Hahaha, that's what I'm talking about. You know your team sucks when President Obama is ragging on you. Just throwing this out there, you guys lost to Syracuse last season...at home. If I were Jimmy Clausen I would quit football. You even had a chance at a last second field goal. Couldn't make it. We haven't had a decent player in about a decade. I'll be there in the fall as Greg Paulus wins the Heisman, and Cuse brings home a share of the National Title. Charlie Weis who?
Let me repeat that: The Syracuse Orange. Won. At Notre Dame. And if that's not bad enough, the Irish's own fans turned on them, pelting the bench with snowballs.
At first people started by throwing the snow in the air, but then began quickly tossing snowballs toward the Notre Dame sideline. Defensive lineman Ian Williams got hit in the helmet, defensive end Ethan Johnson was struck on the left cheek and a St. Joseph County police officer on the sideline looking into the crowd got hit in the chest.
