Notre Dame. Students and alumni are called "Domers" that comes from the big dome I. The center of the campus. Notre Dame, like the U, has pretty soft schedules. This week when they played some better teams, ND went down and Miami almost did. I just thought maybe they'd be better prepared for big games if they'd been playing stronger teams.

Ah, true for a lot of teams, probably all 5 of the AP Top 7 losers this week.

"Somerset" came from a drunk Spellchick? Domerset?
