Fightin' Words: 5 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:

“… what we actually mean mostly when we talk about [the Fighting Irish] is an indomitable spirit, a commitment, never tentative, always fully committed… a total commitment to life itself. No matter what life threw at them, and it threw quite a few wobblies at the Irish from time to time, that indomitable spirit that always sought to dig deep to find the courage to transcend, to keep going.”

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