About two months ago my step-daughter's cat had a litter of kittens. The only male in the group is a bright orange tabby. It has a little bit of a pug nose, and is by far and away the brawler of the litter. He's also the most uncoordinated of the group and stumbles around like he's drunk.

Just he other day I remarked, "He has all the characteristics of and Irishman!"

My youngest son, 24, went the no college route. He got his CDL at 21 and is very much in demand. He just closed on his first house last week and is moving in. He’s doing quite well.

And he will continue to do well.
Good for him.
If he has intellectual curiosity, Coursera has free course online. (no credit for free)

Liberals are always being offended for someone else they deem too stupid to understand that they should be offended also.

You are probably right. There are people who report that the Notre Dame theology department became so “diverse” that it was accurately described as “anti Catholic”. Don’t forget that they also found it appropriate to hire Buttigieg’s father as a professor who was a flaming radical socialist. The invitation and honoring of Obama made Catholics, not affiliated with Notre Dame but who thought it a symbol of Catholic soladarity, aware of the decadent reality.

The world will be a better place when people have better things to do than complain about a college mascot. (Like forage for their food, protect their property, etc.)

Irish Americans are not snowlflakes. Some woke a-holes can declare that we should be offended, but we aren’t. We’re not all Notre Dame fans but I believe that if they banned the angry leprechaun most Irish Americans would be offended by THAT.

Making fun of the Irish is a long standing tradition... Especially in South Bend Indiana and Boston. Remember... It’s IndianA... Not South Bend Indigenous Land and Boston is as Irish as Irish gets... If they can’t make fun of the Irish, then nobody can.

“However, it’s important to remember that the Seminole Tribe of Florida has endorsed the school’s use of the name and representation.”

There can be no country with The Left. No unity is possible, no culture is possible.
No institutions are possible. Time to split it up and go our own ways. It will not be easy, but it’s going to have to happen.

After worshiping at the feet of Nobama, the abortion fan, Notre Dame deserves whatever happens to them.

It's been decades since Bama fans were offended by anything having to do with Notre Dame. I think the Fighting Irish are more liable to be offended by Bama. LOL

Last year's playoff with the 31-14 beat down:


When they met before that in the 42-13 thunderfumpin at the end of the 2012 season:
