Those that follow ND sports care. There are more than a few.
Many alumni care. There are more than a few.
If you don’t, just STFU, rather than diss a championship earned by the Irish.

Not a soccer fan, but I take pride in any Irish victory, particularly by a team that wins its conf tourny after being ranked dead last in the pre-season. THAT is the personification of 'what tho the odds be great or small'.
Yep, I watched it live, too.

I am especially geeked about the potential rebound of our women's basketball team. They have a very dynamic mix of players this year.

In early years Rugby can be played with both passing by kicking and passing by hands, but in certain area in UK people prefer kicking strategy. Gradually this kicking style rugby became soccer. We all know Walter Camp modified rugby rules therefore brought us football. So both soccer and football are equally real football because they have same father.
The legend is that William Webb Ellis picked up a soccer ball and ran with it at the Rugby school in the early 1800's. Soccer was around a long time before rugby came on the scene.
American football is a direct descendant of rugby, but I believe the main influence was Rugby League. League was the original professional version of rugby. It has rules that are much closer to American football (six downs, a line of scrimmage, etc).

consistently running feature and some rules, so many similarities between rugby and soccer, it's hard to believe they are not related. But I could be wrong, need to do more research on it.
