Boston College...A Joke in Their Own City

Yes, that is a football field in historic Fenway Park...And it sure looks like a home field for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish...

The Irish will be playing long time rival, Boston College at Fenway Park...This year the game was thrown under the "Shamrock Series" label, which is something the Irish have done for the last five years...It's supposedly a big thing for alumni around the country, but I think it has more to do with recruiting....They play at a neutral site, and wear a completely different uniform from the traditional ND style...

This year, it isn't a neutral site...It's in Boston...But for some reason, the field sure looks like a ND home field...And the Irish special uniforms...They have been dubbed "the Green Monster uniforms"....

"Green Monster" uniforms...The Notre Dame Fighting Irish written in the end-zones...Hey Boston College, did you also say, 'Hey Notre Dame, could you please fuck all of our girlfriends and sisters while you're making yourself at home!?!'

I get it...It's good for fans...It's good for Alumni...It's good for recruiting...It's good for the city of Boston, especially hotels and bars...People will actually pay attention to Boston College football for a few minutes...It's great...But it sure makes BC look like bitches!

These Football Helmets are Getting Out of Hand

Yeah, this year's Maryland gear is nuts...But that's not all...A couple weeks ago Maryland played Notre Dame in what they called "The Shamrock Series"...The Irish put on their green jerseys, but also added a tricked out helmet...


Now I kinda like the shamrock but I'm not sure about the pattern...Then during the game I heard that the pattern was done by hand pressing velvet to get the look...Seems like a lot of work...

Then today I saw the price tag...Each of those Notre Dame helmets cost $1,200...WTF!?! Now I don't know if the University of Notre Dame had to put up the $1,200 per helmet cost, or if Adidas footed the bill...Either way it seems crazy to me...

Here's a look at the work that went into the helmets...




I could think of better ways to spend that money!
