ESPN.com: SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame football players were pelted by snowballs from fans sitting in the student section during their loss to Syracuse on Saturday. "To throw snowballs at their own team, I didn't think that was a smart thing to do. I guess [they thought] it was funny," defensive tackle Pat Kuntz said after Syracuse upset the Irish 24-23. Fans at first threw snow in the air, but then quickly switched to tossing snowballs toward the Notre Dame sideline. Defensive lineman Ian Williams got hit in the helmet, defensive end Ethan Johnson was struck on the left cheek and a St. Joseph County police officer on the sideline looking into the crowd got hit in the chest. An NBC camera man also was a frequent target and several snowballs reached the field, although none landed near where play was occurring.

Like Justin Timberlake said. Cry me a river. Rule number 1. If there's snow on the ground, all fairs in love and getting pelted in the face with a snowball. Throwing snowballs at their own team? Not very smart? So, Notre Dame is actually considering themselves a football team? News to me! Maybe the reason the Irish suck is because they are in fact wimps. Where is that brand when we need it? Little old Ian Williams got hit in the helmet! That must have been a stinger. Ethan Johnson got hit in the cheek! Which cheek though? A cop got hit in the chest! Oh my God. What a disgrace. I can understand getting pissed at your fans for throwing things at you and not the other team. But come on man. Don't go crying to the media about it. All that's going to happen now is, next time it snows, it will be 10X worse. Good job fellas.

Side note: How many times through out a players four year career do you think they watch Rudy? I'm setting the over under at 44. As always, I'm taking the over.
