Swarbrick very positive on Fighting Irish nickname.

Let’s go with “The Moops” and be done with it *

Fighting Faustians? (note multiple interpretations) *

Their old name The Ramblers reminds me of AMC *

Liam Neeson and I feel we can still keep the true idea of

"Fighting Irish" if you guys don't mind a little bilingualism in our mascot's new name.

There were likely Irish who fought for South in Civil War

so it would makes sense to drop this hurtful nickname with ties to the Confederacy.

So If Corby were blessing the Confederate troops,

would his statue be gone by now?

"Redskins" is available. *

That would be kind of applicable. *

"The Independents" just to piss everyone off. *

like *

NDSCM78 reports ND is considering the" Ramblers""

Old name from years back.....I feel that will not fly.......

Nah, ground work already laid for "Fighting Crazy Trains". *

At least we could have a cooler kickoff song.

Replace the Victory March w/ Allman Bros "Ramblin Man". *

How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air. *

whatever name is chosen, someone will be offended, sad. *

ND should go with “The Hoofers” as a salute to Four Horsemen

As well as a salute to The Radio City Rockettes

“The Hooters” as a salute to SMC chicks *

Halftime show

The “Nags.” *

As a salute to ND women *

Guiness and Jameson also support our name. *

"Pubs: Irish Sunscreen"....... *

Jack currently working on a way to market/monetize

the nickname debate.

The Notre Dame roundtable on changing the nickname, brought to you by
Fruit Breezers!

Perhaps we should change it

I say lean in: The University of Notre Dame Fookin' Papists!

Word salad. *

Jack is prepping us for ND’s new nickname: “Fabulous French”

Well Notre Dame is a French name founded by a Frenchman. Makes sense. Our mascot could be a French Rooster and our cheerleaders could all be French mimes. French designers like Dior could compete to design our uniforms. Michelin rated 3 star French restaurants could provide French cuisine in the Stadium. Kelly could be arrayed like Liberace along the sidelines in a long white fur cape. Let’s go with it.

So "Fighting Frogs" a tad too racist?

I guess using "Pepe The Frog" is really out of the question.

Combine the FSU chop with an "Off With Their Heads" chant *

We already have the wine and cheese tailgating mastered. *

I don’t want to talk about everything.

I don’t want to know about this topic.

I don’t think Jack should either.

It’s our fucking nickname and it stays.

Fuck that shit.

Right on, brother...

...right on!

I feel this same way about the Tribe

Frankly, I feel stronger about that than I do about ND.

end of discussion, wish everyone would see this. *

it does glorify the Irish sterotypes of getting drunk and

fighting.

While these stereotypes are largely true, no need to glorify them

Bullshit. I have never once connected Fighting Irish ....

With drunkenness.The term denotes a gritty,tough ethnicity that fought
its way up the social ladder. It celebrates the Irishmen who fought and died gallantly in the Revolutionary War. Some say 50% of the conscripts
were Irish only too happy to battle the English. It pays tribute to
The Fighting 69th that fought so bravely in our wars.The leprochaun
is stupid and should be unloaded.....

That's the soyrse of the nickname.. A perjorative

describing catholics and Irish. So, bullshit on your feigned lack of awareness of the history of the name.. If you do know the history, then

* *

“They fight like a bunch of drunken Irishmen,” was the story

I’ve been told since approximately forever.

Some journalist wrote that in the 1930s or something? And it definitely was meant as an insult. So we said, “damn straight skippy” and make it our mascot.

I like that story so I’m sticking with it.

and they were the mine field testers in WW1 as well *

I think they were used as mud flaps in the early days

Of trucking

* *

you know why the Italian Navy builds their boats with

glass bottoms, right?

* *

Well I suppose you had to do that.

To quote Teri Garr, “Thanks, Michael. Great party. My date left with someone else. Got any Seconal?”

And the Irish Brigade of the Civil War.

Rev. William Corby, Chaplain.

''Blue for the Union and Green for Ireland" *

Your suggestion that "getting drunk" and "fighting"

are somehow bad traits offends me.

Shouldn't reasonable-minded people be glorifying things that are indisputably good?

Doesn’t help when ND-affiliated sites push articles on the

topic in a naked effort to drive traffic.

Not ISD and obviously not here.

Always worried when Savvy touches anything.....

I recall when he said there would be no NCAA probation for us....

finally, someone said it *

Well said *

Amen *

Thanks for saying that

More than ever the kids at ND didn’t give a shit about the school before they were accepted, so I really could give two fucks about what they think about this issue.
