There were many events in that short span of time that I left unsaid. You said it was not dark of night bag packing and I showed that it very much was. Some here are upset about Notre Dame conducts it's business as though Notre Dame has been pulling the wool over their eyes. Notre Dame has been consistent and has up front in its actions for as long as I have cared anything about college football.

I brought up the 2003 issue because every VT fan I spoke too felt justified in doing whatever they felt was necessary to survive. For WVU fans it was the crappy way in which it was done that stuck in their throat. The shoe is now on the other foot and I was pointing that out, it does not feel so good does it?

I do not think Notre Dame is doing anything wrong. I do not think VT did anything wrong back in 2003. But, it is not what do that is often the problem, it is how you do it. You say I am passive aggressive concerning WVU. There was a time when that might have been true but I have fallen mostly out of love with them as I have stated in the past. I stall care about them, probably always will. But I seldom watch a game and have not watched a whole since the Oklahoma BCS game.

But if I am exhibiting this passive/aggressive quality, who better to point it out to me than you, who has mastered it in all of its nuances?
