I couldn't agree more.  Oh, I have no problem acknowledging that ND has sustained football success to a degree we can only dream of.  And it looks like they're genuinely back after a bad (for them) decade or so.  And they've done so while paying at least passing attention to academic standards - particularly compared to any of the other elite tier all-time programs.  All of that I stipulate.

But having grown up in the Chicago area with the insufferability of the domers I've known over four decades, I also have the perfect right to hate ND.
