Notre Dame Adds to Legacy

With it being Monday and all, there ought to be a big of humor in today’s Notre Dame Fighting Irish blog. Now we can’t always count on Bill Simmons of ESPN to give up great sports humor as pertaining to the Fighting Irish, but one place that isn’t afraid of poking a little fun at Notre Dame is the online fake news website The Onion. There’s an article dating from October of last season explaining the Irish’s attempt to boost the one thing it clearly has over other college football programs: their storied legacy. Notre Dame plans on doing this by rewriting history, embellishing or just making up things that once happened at Notre Dame.

What I think the article was meant to poke fun at was the way that Notre Dame has seemed to slip in the polls and in terms of their national prominence, yet they still maintain such a loyal fan base because of their great history. Seemingly, the only way Notre Dame can beat other programs is through events that happened in the past. So why not make those events shine a little brighter? The list of things that the article suggests is pretty funny, and might hit a little close to home.

Of course, if your love of Notre Dame doesn’t come with a sense of humor, there is only one internet site you should go to, and that’s the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football tickets page at StubHub.com.
