Give me your worst SC/ND experience

Mine came during the Pete Poodle Carroll era, when I would go to the ND/SC games with my sister, who is an SC grad.

She was the model of decorum, and didn't rub in those lopsided wins by SC. It was the SC fans who figured out I was an ND fan.

They were obnoxious and would point at me and cuss ND.

They were different in the past when ND was beating their ass. They were humble losers. During the Carroll era, they became bad winners.

That has changed. But, I never take SC for granted. Never.
