    Ehh...they'd have no problem hitting "B" (no BCS wins) and "D" (Declan Sullivan). But then everything else after that would just be some rehash of those same lines. This dude makes some of the guys on here look like amateur ND haters.

    "A" is for Ara as in Parseghian the "genius" who was too much of a ***** to play for the win in the 1966 Michigan St "Game of the Century" and settled for a satisfying tie but is still considered one of CFBs all-time greatest coaches...joke!

    OK who's next?

    Gotta love John L Smith, especially when he had players guard the 50 yard line in East Lansing the following season.

    The Sullivan incident was an accident, but this is the story I find far more disturbing. I would hope the Seeberg family finds closure with this situation at some point.

    The aftermath of a loss has not been so satisfying for the Lizzie Seeberg family. After an interaction with a Notre Dame football player on the night of Aug. 31, Seeberg sent a text message to her therapist that said: "Hey- can we talk in a little bit. I've been drinking and something bad happened. I can't talk right now because I'm kinda in an awkward situation but I'm on my way back to saint mary's." Upon returning to her room, Seeberg wrote and signed a description of having been assaulted by a Notre Dame football player in his campus dorm room and gave the paper to Notre Dame's campus police the next day. Two days after the encounter Seeberg received a text message from a friend of the player, which said: "Don't do anything you would regret. Messing with notre dame football is a bad idea."
    Eight days later Seeberg committed suicide by ingesting a lethal dose of medication that had been prescribed to treat depression and anxiety. Notre Dame police didn't attempt to contact the accused player until nine days after the alleged assault and didn't reach him until five days after Seeberg's death. The story of Seeberg's accusation and death remained largely unreported until the Chicago Tribune broke it in mid-November of that year. On Dec. 16, 2010, the prosecuting attorney for St. Joseph County announced that there would be no charges filed in the case, most pointedly because Seeberg's written statement would be ruled inadmissible as hearsay, because she is dead. In his first interview on the subject, Lizzy's father, Tom Seeberg, told the Tribune, "Ultimately, there's a sense of betrayal."
    In conversations with SI, Tom Seeberg declined to make further public statements, but it was clear that his outrage has not ebbed. The player accused by Lizzy is still a member of the football team. Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame's president, refused to meet with the Seeberg family, 11 members of which have attended the university (and two others Saint Mary's). Two years ago, Jenkins made one statement to the South Bend Tribune in which he explained that as the final arbiter of campus discipline he couldn't meet with the Seebergs because, "I try to remain somewhat distant so I'm not tainted by one side or another presenting their side of the story." A Notre Dame spokesperson declined further comment this week. The Seeberg case did trigger an investigation by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights into student-on-student sexual harassment, including sexual violence at Notre Dame, and resulted in significant changes in the ways such incidents are handled by the university.

    Agreed it's not funny and it's impossible to ever know exactly what happened. What we do know, the girl suffered from a mental illness, accused an ND player of touching her breast and then she OD'ed on some her mental illness meds.
