ESPN’s Colin Cowherd is an expert in instigation. This time it’s Notre Dame fans who are up in arms over the analyst’s activity on Twitter. Cowherd tweeted this statement that has Notre Dame fans in outrage and denial:

Perspective without emotion–next to impossible w sports fans but Vegas has 7-0 Ohio state and 6-0 ND behind six teams w losses. #reality

— Colin Cowherd (@ESPN_Colin) October 16, 2012

Even though it’s Vegas who makes the odds, Cowherd is getting some serious criticism and has even been dubbed a Notre Dame-hater. OSU fans seem to agree with Cowherd, but ND fans are angry. Let’s see what Twitter has to say.

@espn_colin so Vegas validates you know everything there is to know. #riiiiggghhhttt

@espn_colin #reality You hate Notre Dame and Ohio State. These are facts. Get out of lala land. USC is not going to the BCS this year.

@espn_colin When Notre Dame runs the table and goes undefeated I want an apology from you to all ND fans for giving them no respect deal?

@espn_colin You and Mark May should start the “Anti Notre Dame Trust” ND has played better comp. thn any1 ranked above them so far. W is a W

@espn_colin stop worry about ND you hater. Just because you don’t like Notre Dame doesn’t mean they are not good. Who has Oregon played?

@espn_colin so you can probably admit that ND is still relevant at this point right? robst recruiting, merchandise & fanbase #DeadWrongAgain

@espn_colin You are an idiot

@goirishwin @espn_colin he has to trash teams like Notre Dame…keeps ratings up and sells air time…he really doesnt believe what he says

@espn_colin Everyone knows first, that Cowherd is a USC homer , and second, a Notre Dame hater. If you got D you can beat anyone.

@espn_colin Well if Vegas says it, then it must be 100 percent accurate!#notreally
