Fightin' Words: 4 Days



Irish Creed proudly presents: 
"Fightin' Words" 
a series of quotes to get the Fightin' Irish Faithful in the proper fightin' mood 
as we count down the final days until the 2012 season of Notre Dame Football





In honor of the many of the Fightin' Irish Faithful traveling across the Atlantic to the home of their ancestors for this weekend's Notre Dame v. Navy game in Dublin, we offer a few inspirational "Fightin' Words" from Ireland's 8th president:

“… you are now indelibly marked by the spirit of this place, the spirit of the Fighting Irish. And what is that spirit? …It is to be champions of life itself, lovers of life itself, lovers of community, lovers of all that is good and humanly decent, champions of being good in our world and God knows we need those. People who have that capacity to figure they can change the odds no matter how tough the odds that are stacked against them are.”


-Mary McAleese, Commencement Speech, University of Notre Dame, 5/24/2006
