Rosie odonnell jumping on a tampoline...that would be pretty tramatic for us all. Guys, all of this fighting back and forth.... is because football is in a state of limbo until our bowl game..... we need to refocus our attacks on something we can all get behind and hate together....... LLOYD CARR

Don't count on that, Yankee boy.

Will the real Catholic School please stand up?

When ND came to play LSU in Baton Rouge for the first time in 1971, then-Governor John McKeithen, chatting with Fr. Hesburgh in the press box, was tickled to point out the fact that there were more Catholics on LSU’s roster than on ND’s. The good Fr. Hesburgh had no reply.

Louisiana’s secular “counties” are known as “parishes” for a reason. Unlike most of the Bible Belt South, the dominant culture here in Louisiana, especially south Louisiana, regardless of race or ethnicity, is French and Catholic.

The people who are today known as Louisiana’s “Cajuns” were exiled in the mid-1700's from Acadia - the Canadian province later known as Nova Scotia. The pretext for that “ethnic cleansing” by the British was the French Catholic Acadians’ refusal to swear allegiance to the Protestant Crown. His Catholic Majesty of Spain (then in possession of Louisiana) offered the Acadian exiles a home here, and we have been here ever since.
Consider a sampling of Acadian names on LSU’s roster: Doucet, LeDay, Perrilloux, Broussard, Gaudet, Landry, Angelle, Dugas, Desselle, Louviere, Planchard, Jean-Francois.

The Tigers' roster also reflects our players' high schools:
Jesuit, Holy Cross, Brother Martin, St Augustine, Archbishop Shaw, Archbishop Rummel (my alma mater) and St Paul’s (all in the Archdiocese of New Orleans); Catholic High of Baton Rouge; Redemptorist (B.R.); Vandebilt Catholic (Houma); St. Thomas Aquinas (Hammond); St Paul’s (Mobile, AL); Notre Dame (Tarzana, CA.); St. John’s (Holland, OH); and St. Pius X (Lincoln, NB).

Oh yeah, and that one school (mentioned above) that the CSC Fathers have run in New Orleans for about 150 years:
Their band plays the "ND Victory March" at their football games, but their teams are known as the Holy Cross Tigers.

The POINT of this diatribe?
On Jan. 3rd, Touchdown Jesus will be wearing purple & gold.

Hillbillies are hard to come by in the nation's busiest port.
In fact, HILLS are even harder to find here.
You would feel a bit underdressed, monsieur, if you were to wear that to a public event like the Sugar Bowl.
Keep in mind that New Orleans was enjoying opera when Chicago still had cows pooping in its principal streets.

And further, monsieur Yankee, up until just before Katrina, New Orleans was enjoying frat guys throwing up in the streets and the "Girls Gone Wild" crew throwing chicken wings off of balconies while 17 year olds flashed their breasts and mounted Police horses pooped in the streets.

Don't stress Chasseur, just giving you a hard time. I was looking for a picture of the assistant coach in the Adam Sandler movie, Waterboy, to post, but could not find. Remember, you are on a ND board and we can give you a little merde back.

All in good spirits.

It seems our once-upon-a-time quaint-and-mostly-for-locals Carnival has been co-opted by drunk college kids ever since Captain America & Billy made Mardi Gras the ultimate fun destination in Easy Rider.
It was just a matter of time before the Girls Gone Wild video guys showed up and really trashed the party.
But if y'all ever do have the opportunity to do Mardi Gras, don't let the drunk college boys and boob-flashers dissuade you. Even mature, civilized folks can have a great time.

Mardi Gras was one of the best times I've ever had. New Orleans is an absolute American treasure. Of course, I was a drunk college boy at the time, but didn't do anything except take in the beauty of that city...and maybe a few boobs.
