I cheer for the latter, as the athletes come and go every year. Honestly, I am surprised by, and sick of, the anti-Catholic sentiment expressed by so many on this board. The broad assumptions that all priests are pedophiles (hate to tell you Albany, I would guess many more teachers are pedophiles)...etc.
I am not an ND grad - I went to another Catholic university(St. Bonaventure)- but have loved the program and the university that it represents since I was a young boy.
Seriously, with your hatred of Catholics/Catholicism why don't you root for Ohio State, LSU, or some other group of athletes that you can cheer for?
