Mascot madness has landed at Notre Dame University. An unscientific survey from a logo products company has the legendary school fighting to defend its Fighting Irish Leprecha

Last night I watched their Castaway spoof to poke fun at the Big 12 saying goodbye to the Sooners and Longhorns.

Yes, that is great too. I subscribe so I always try to watch them when I can.
They also roasted Florida pretty good for the shoe-incident against LSU.
In 2018, Clemson beat Notre Dame 30 - 3 in the Cotton Bowl so for two years we demoted him to Field Goal Jesus.

Maybe have one of new Auburn coach Bryan Harsin painting the Auburn field blue to try to replicate the success he had at Boise State.
Or one where Dan Mullen is getting tips from Steve Spurrier on how to crack jokes with the media.
Or one where Ole Miss yells at Bama "yeah, but our coach is the one who taught y'all how to score a lot".
Or one where Georgia brags that their national championship really wasn't that long ago, with a clip of Hershel Walker standing in line to sign up for his social security check.

Would have been more funny if they ended with a boat labeled SEC picking up the balls and leaving him.
Now this one is my all-time personal favorite

Cant do most of that as years ago ESPN sat the SEC down and ordered them to play nice with each other. Immediately gone were SEC schools threats to sic the NCAA on other SEC school’s football programs.
But “he won’t be at the top of the list for much longer,” the company reported, because he won’t be a “mascot” much longer. Instead, he will be a “spirit leader” who “will behave with dignity at all times and not partake in any behavior that misrepresents Aztec culture.”
Presumably, that behavior did not include the Aztec custom of human sacrifice.
So long as the team goes on winning ...
Didn’t ND also cover up any religious symbols behind Saint Obama
What is offensive about something that doesn’t even exist?!
A haka is a Maori ceremonial dance.
New Zealand's (mostly White) sports teams also do the haka.
Australia and New Zealand seem to be on the same path as the US, only generations behind. A century ago, American flyers in France adopted the American Indian as their symbol. Back then, Australians and New Zealanders were trying to be good Britishers or else representatives of a new settler nation and avoiding references to aborigines or Maoris. Now the aborigines and Maoris are symbols of their country and culture. Sooner or later, that will be condemned as cultural appropriation. Maybe that's already started.
I wonder how Notre Dame's leprechaun would play in Ireland -- and in Northern Ireland.
And we all recall that the skids had been greased at ND for baby-killers like Barky by NY Governor Mario Cuomo in his own lame bid for the US Presidency in 1984. Cuomo offered his own soul and the bodies of millions of unborn babies and misled young girls in exchange for the votes of Cafeteria Catholics everywhere. Mario said that as a Catholic he was "personally opposed" to abortion, but could not impose his faith on others.
Notice that lechers are never pro-life, because they think of all the times they've had to "fix" the problems of their mistresses.
As someone of Irish decent, I can say I find nothing offensive about the this....
A mythical creature is now offensive?
Tell these pajama boys and the foolish women they are cowtowing to just to get laid that are offended by this go to pound sand, and get back to me when their testicles decend.
Fine, swap the leprechaun for an Irish priest!
It isn’t about being offended, it’s about power.
