The 11 Feelings All Notre Dame Fans Will Probably Experience This Fall

Win or lose, SO MANY FEELINGS. Win or lose, GO IRISH.

1. Loss

It's all over now, baby blue (and gold.)

2. Denial

Off to mass you go with a soul full of existential questions.

3. Depression

Alabama has killed the dream...IIIII dreeeeaaaaaamed.

4. Anger

You haven't been this pissed since Slytherin won over Gryffindor in the '91 Quidditch Cup championship match.

5. Hanger

Bad news: Candlelight dinner is crowded as hell, and Jimmy John's will take at least 3 hours to deliver in this godforsaken post-game traffic.

6. Bargaining

If only you could take back that final drive. You'd give up bragging rights to your round-two Bookstore Basketball win last year, tickets to the Keenan Review this year...anything. ANYTHING.

7. Backering

You are living on a prayer. A prayer that 80s hits can restore your faith in everything.

8. Exhausted Indifference Mixed with Residual Disbelief

You start to shrug it off, Swanson-style. It might be the hangover talking, but you are beginning to heal.

9. Acceptance

This isn't your first rodeo, after all.

10. Optimism

Because in your heart, you know that next week'll be here in a South Bend minute.

11. And then maybe you'll feel like this:

A WIN IS A WONDERFUL THING!

Or this:

Or this:

But definitely this.

GO IRISH.
