Please accept and pass along to your players, coaches and
staff our most sincere and heartfelt gratitude for providing us with a season
of hope and happiness. We realize your
job is not done yet and we are looking forward to celebrating Notre Dame’s
latest Championship Monday night.
We are sure you know as well as anyone from fans, alumni,
donors and the media that Notre Dame Football means an awful lot to many people. The season starts in January with early enrollees
getting a jump start on their college careers and our first insight to how they
adjust to college life. Then will come February
with National Signing Day brining new hope and players to South Bend. Spring brings practices and of course, the
Blue and Gold game, which will give us our football fix through the
summer. Fall comes with debate and
expectations, hope, and until recently, disappointment.
Each Saturday, we gather in front of televisions and radios
all over the country - actually, around the world - to pull for the Irish. The reasons vary as to why…our family’s
influence, raised Catholic, Irish descent or we just like the fight song…but
the one thing we all have in common is our loyalty to the team.
We realize that each coach and player has been chosen by
Notre Dame for individual reasons and you will never meet or know 99.99% of
us. We realize that our passion can
become ridiculous and even silly at times and that although we may not always
show it, there are more important things in our lives such as our families and
jobs than a football team and the game they play. However, this team gives us not only a
distraction from the trials in our lives, but gives us an opportunity to gather
with friends and family to cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame.
Sincerely,
The Irish Faithful
