My friends often ask me why I like Notre Dame so much. I live in Texas, so why am I not a Longhorn fan? Answer: I am a Longhorn fan - a huge Longhorn fan. And I'm asked why I don't follow UNT since I graduated from there - Really???
The truth is that I've like Notre Dame for as long as I can remember, but as I've gotten older, I've really come to love the Irish. Tradition is the best part of college football (other than winning). Does anyone really have a more rich history and football tradition than The University of Notre Dame? I don't think so. And while winning has been scarce in recent years, Notre Dame has it's share of national championships. You know what else? Notre Dame is God's team too. I don't have what it takes to go against God.
There's Touchdown Jesus, Joe Montana, Tim Brown, Knute Rockne, Rocket Ismael, (more recently - Golden Tate), Jerome Bettis, Lou Holts, "Play Like a Champion Today", Gold dust in the freshly painted helmets, Rudy, "The Gipper", Hornung, 29 Bowl Games, 7 Heismans, and on and on and on.
So anyways, it goes without saying that I'm super excited about the opening weekend of college football. Go Irish! Thank God for College Football!
