Why ND was ever called the "Irish" does back to the days when Catholic schools were heavily populated by Irish Americans. The "fighting" part denotes the spirit of the athletic teams, not anything else. The is a little used BC fight song(get the fight word?)that is "Fight, fight, fight for Boston" <br /><br />So no slur, but "redskins" is another matter. I have never heard an Irishman complain about "fighting Irish" and I doubt that anyone has. I hate overboard PC reactions, but this one is real. <br /><br />BJK, you have always had my deepest respect for your thoughtful posts, but this time you went "off the reservation" Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426170247468782374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-49361543547146193782014-06-25T10:00:45.701-04:002014-06-25T10:00:45.701-04:00Also, let's dump the "Fighting Irish"...Also, let's dump the "Fighting Irish" name. :-)Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-43548739812153528602014-06-25T07:09:09.461-04:002014-06-25T07:09:09.461-04:00As to the DC name, I love Pete Cronin,but disagree...As to the DC name, I love Pete Cronin,but disagree w/ him on this.

Much of that success was derivative of TOB/Bible's roots, but there is no denying that "Rust-belt" is a depreciating asset, both in terms of population & BC's familiarity (now that we're in the ACC. The mid-atlantic & southeast are exceptionally fertile recruiting areas, growing, increasing affluent/educated, and a target region for BC both academically, athletically. & alumni networking. The investment Daz makes now, will pay off in the future. So I'm sold that this is the smart strategy, provided we maintain contacts with the showcase catholic schools in the midwest.
