Notre Dame

And this thumbs down is coming from an Irish Catholic.

f' neutered dame. hope they get a hundred more weis' to run that dump in the ground. maybe bin laden will intervene during a game with the inbreds (michigan)

I take it people don't like ND.

One of the best weekends of my life:
Fri - Cubs afternoon game
Sat - ND v. Michigan St
Sun - Bears home game (Packers??)

Ashamed to say I can't remember who the Bears played, but the weekend was made when MSU worked over ND. Oh yeah, and the Heileman's Old Style was flowing at Wrigley & Cubbie Bear's.

But yeah, F ND.

I'm betting Dr Mittenhand is not Irish, but is in fact, an American. I hate it when people claim to be from another country for some nostalgic reason.

^ The Irish decent wasn't brought up out of nostalgia, it was brought up to illustrate how even those of Irish heritage hate Notre Dame. I hate it when people try to smear other people without thinking.

Also, why the hell is a school called "Notre Dame" known as the Fighting Irish?

I think what has always confused me is that the school is the fighing irish but was founded by Frenchmen and shares the name of a French Cathedral (although not named after it).

...called the fledgling school, in their mother tongue, L'Universite de Notre Dame du Lac.

Wouldn't their mascot have been a better representation if they called themselves the "Drunken Pansies"?

Geez. I hate that school. It's fans. It's stupid half in/half out Big East crap.

Barbarossa, he didn't say he was of Irish heritage. He said he was Irish. That's different.

As a naturalized US citizen, I claim nothing other than being an American. There are a ton of US citizens that claim they're Irish or German or English even though their parents and grandparents were born in the US.

Sorry for the rant. I'm done.

Uh, I think you left out the biggest transgressor

who's that?

Heck I am Irish, but I don't claim to be from Ireland.

Still doesn't stop me about making jokes about how they are oftentimes more drunk than Boozing.

No, you're just an idiot.

33 maybe as a naturalized citizen you aren't aware of this, but referring to ones heritage is commonly done by saying "I'm X". So when I say I'm French, Irish, and German I am not claiming to be from any of those places. But the information is relevant to who I am.

The people claiming some BS connection to the other county are the ones who hyphenate it with "American". As in, "I'm Irish-American"(If you think most often uses that form you'll have the answer to who boozing was hinting at).

I'm an American(citizenship). But I am French, German, and Irish. See the difference?

And Notre Dame can EAD!

Amazing how the internet can twist a thread's original purpose.

But I am French

explains everything

Hey surfie! I didn't know you hated Notre Dame so much buddy, so I guess I will start hating them as well. Us UNC guys have to stick together. I was never really a fan of that Charlie Weiss guy. I don't like fat people.

Hansbra, your brother plays for ND.

Uhhhh, he isn't really my brother. Have you seen that guy play? Have you seen me play? There is no way he can be my brother. He is actually my cousin.

Mittenhand....

Don’t worry about it, ND has not been Catholic in about 30-40 years....Just another secular school these days.

Where do you get that? It's as Catholic as Baylor is Baptist.

Dallas...

It is not even close anymore. As a disclaimer, the following should be posted over at the R&P board:

- ND has willfully and purposefully strayed for years from the Magisterium of the Church
- Promotes many issues the Church stands firmly against and does so under the guise of “Academic Freedom” and to hell with the Truth.
- Allowed the most radical proabortionist politician ever on to speak at a commencement.
- Campus life, curriculum and the notion of "Academic Freedom" is centered around a secular stance of applying a self-centered, relative moralistic view of the world today in place of His Truth as set forward within the bounds of the Church, among other things.

Actually Baylor is remaining fairly close to what Baptist believe and will put forth defense of such, ND will cower to the progressive that have overrun her Regents and Boards and will often times stand against the Church in the guise of "Academic Freedom" and “Scholarly Advancement”.

If the US Bishops had any "cahones" whatsoever, they would take ND over and back, or completely and publically separate itself in name and funding from ND.

Again, not even close to a Catholic University anymore.
