Not sure she would have understood but I have an ND shirt on so maybe
Everyone around my neck of the woods are either Crimson Tide or War Eagle fans. I'd thank my friends who were Tide fans last year for taking Tommy Rees off our hands.
Their reactions:
Before the season:
"You don't know what you're talking about! Tommy Rees has much better talent here. He's going to show you Notre Lamers what a real OC can do!"
During the season:
"Come on, he's going to kick some real ass once things get settled in. He wasted too much time with your Notre Lamer quarterback (Buchner). Once he understands the talent, things are gonna fly!"
After the season:

Even the one fingered salutes made me smile.
That and the speed on this team make all the difference
So very well.

U now what I am talking about NEPA
My HS football team played the Old Forge Blue Devils in the 60's. Your reference is no doubt to the town's large Italian American population.
Old Forge had a coach named Elio Chigiarelli. He, like my team's head coach, was definitely not somebody a player wanted to piss off. I still remember halftimes at our Old Forge games when each coach seemed to be competing over which one could assault more of his players for screwing up in the first half!!!!! God, I'm old!!!!
PS: I seem to recall Old Forge had a running back named Scavo (sp?). He played at Arizona State for that hard-case coach Frank Kush. Coach Chigiarelli no doubt prepared him well for Coach Kush.
