South Bend...more than just Notre Dame?

Today I was busy working in lovely Northeast Indiana, specifically South Bend. As much as I hate to concede this, I would wager that most people with any modicum of knowledge about college sports know that Notre Dame is located in this lovely pocket of Indiana. Similarly, most people who know anything about yours truly know that I have a deep dislike for all things Notre Dame. I know, you are all shocked! How does an Irish Catholic girl from the south side of Chicago come to despise the good ole' Fighting Irish? First of all, it was bred into my psyche by my equally Notre Dame hating father. For my immediate family members that are certainly reading this, we will ignore the transgressions of my junior high years when I wore ND sweatshirts and thought that I would some day attend the aforementioned. Secondly and more importantly, Notre Dame fans have a way of believing that the sun rises and sets based on the movements of ND football.
