🏈 "Catholics vs. Cousins"

[PhillyGirl]

Former Notre Dame QB tweeted a picture of a super classy BCS t-shirt:

Maybe I'm like Charlie Brown and "don't know sarcasm when I hear it" but classy? Looks like a typical stereotype put down of a Southern team. If he'd had Trunks instead of the hillbilly, maybe a little better. I don't like it.

From what I understand he deleted the tweet after Tide fans raised the devil over what the shirt implied. He then said "it's just a t-shirt. lol." I wonder if he would have lol-ed a t-shirt that said, "January 7, 2013. Protestants vs Pedophiles."

Saw one that said, "The Catholics are coming, hide your young male children"

Not Cool either...

Yes, it is indeed intended to be sarcastic haha. Any time I use classy, it is generally dripping with sarcasm. This shirt is a piece of crap, and so is the one 0LDSCH00L mentioned .. People are idiots.

Can't we just make this about football and kicking Irish ass?

 

[PhillyGirl]

Figured re-posting it was a good way to get more fired up about putting them in their place come January :bluebiggrin:

Protestants vs Murderers

I think all of those t-shirts are stupid. I like Catholics vs the team thats going to kick your ass, a little LNG, but that's ok

They think we are all a bunch of inbreds down here in the south. Why else would they call us cousins? Its offensive to me, I dont like it.

 

[0LDSCH00L]

Insults beget insults and as far as I can tell they drew first blood?

I went to a NASCAR race once, people sitting near me were all from Indiana. People from Indiana have NO room to talk.... Just... wow

Cool. I thought from following / reading your other threads / posts that we would feel the same way. RTR

I have been waiting a quarter of a century to pay them back in spades for a 38-6 loss the last time we played them in 1987. Now, they have added even more fuel to my fire!

Becoming a seasoned Southern man means many things to many different people, but one thing I've learned is that the worse we are perceived in the other regions of the country means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme.
I hope all the people that hate and/or misunderstand the South either do one of two general things: come here, shut up and learn to appreciate the culture for what it is
OR
stay where you are and stay ignorant.

The worst thing for a Southern man to have to deal with, in my opinion, besides a scorned woman is a loud-mouthed, know-it-all, arrogant, wiseazz, northern urban male. The second worst?

Their matching female conterpart.

I have been known to actually run in the other direction.

rant=off...carry on and rtr.

I think people make to big of a deal of things and get offended way to easy.

Oh, the hypocrisy of our presumed intellectual betters. They will crow like the prophets at those who dare cross the parameters they have established for political correctness, but then laugh like hyenas fighting over a goat leg at jokes that disparage southerners and southern culture. This attitude, my friends, is the driving force behind the country's hatred of the SEC. It's not the dominance of the conference, as some would argue, it's the fact that it is the SOUTHEASTERN Conference that drives them crazy, and if there's one thing our "elites" can't stand, it's the idea of southerners succeeding at anything.

Just for the record, a lot of people up north, myself included, think it's a dopey tee shirt as well.

IMHO I think it's a weak attempt to recapture the success of the "Catholics vs. Convicts" tee shirts put out for the ND Miami games of the late 80's. They had to find a substitute for convicts, and "cousins" was the best they could do.
