Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey is calling the Fighting Irish “America’s team” for tomorrow’s game against No. Kentucky.

 

We are American’s team tomorrow,” Brey told the media today. “We love it.”

What does that even mean?

I would just shut up and play if I played Kentucky. I would give them no reason to wake up or get a little emotional edge.

Good for them. Unfortunately for them, that won't help them much tomorrow. #keeppokingthebear

Does that mean they are going to suck in the playoffs like the Cowboys?

I would have to agree that every other team that is still alive and their fans are hoping for a Notre Dame win.

It means he think America wants to see Kentucky lose.

Got a text from my college roommate who now lives in Michigan. "Go Kentucky! Hope you pound Notre Dame!"

As Marquette grads, we always hated Notre Dame!

It means everyone has conceded that the Tourney is UK's to lose. So naturally fans of every team left are rooting for ND.

 

Think of what a great NCAA tourney it would have been this year without UK. Who would have even been the favorite? Wisconsin? Zona? Duke? Zags? Villinova? Kansas? Virginia?

The ironical thing about what he said is Kentucky's basketball team probably has more fans throughout America than any other single school.

I suppose there's statistics on that somewhere. Largest fan bases. And in UK's case, most passionate.

Don't know why, but I've always hated Notre Dame. This renews my conviction.
