Another example of why I pull for Notre Dame

While there shouldn’t be any confusion where my primary college football loyalties lie, but ever since I’ve become Catholic, I’ve had a secondary affinity for Notre Dame football. Stories like this only reinforce this.

If my memory serves, Weis is a former Notre Dame player and from a generation where the majority of players were Catholic. I suspect he is Catholic as well. I think that will be good for the team both on and off the field. One of the things that I believe made the team strong in the past was their shared faith. Weis would do well to restore that legacy.

Great minds think alike–I blogged a different version of this great story myself.

As I told one of my ND fan friends, Weis gets Notre Dame. I really think he is going to bring the school back to national football prominence.

Worse luck for us Michigan fans.

Dale, I’m glad you came to visit and I’m glad that a great mind agrees with me about Notre Dame. BTW, how’s the Episcopal/Catholic crime solving going?

For readers who don’t know Dale, Dale is the author of the great blog Dyspeptic Mutterings (which I link to on the main page) that is best known for it’s occasional fisking of liberal Catholics. It’s a privilege to have him visit this lightly visited corner of the blogosphere.

Come back soon Dale!
