‘Bama Fans Pissed Off About “Catholics vs Cousins” T-shirt
AL.com – While the coaches and players for Alabama and Notre Dame have maintained a respectful tone in the buildup to the BCS National Championship Game, fans of the two sides have engaged in plenty of trash-talk. On Monday, former Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen joined in. Clausen, a backup quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, tweeted a photo of a t-shirt he received from a fan that declares the January 7th matchup to be “Catholics vs. Cousins”. After receiving a number of angry tweets from Crimson Tide fans, Clausen deleted the tweet
Wow, when did people from Alabama get so sensitive? You’d think generations of in-breeding and moonshine consumption would give them a sense of humor about themselves. But I guess self-deprecation is not their jam. I have to admit while I love the idea of this t-shirt, it’s not a total home run with me. Notre Dame football has a proud tradition of pissing off the reprobate fanbases of their opponents. And while this is good, it’s not “Catholics vs Convicts” or the Jimmy Johnson “Pork Face Satan” t-shirts they made to get under Miami’s skin in the 80s. And it’s not quite up there with calling BC “Fredo,” which never fails to rile up the SuperFans. So while I think this is good, it’s not great. It could stand to lose the Bear Bryant hat and the cartoon hillbilly and replace them with something more eye-catching. Like two cousins actually boning each other or maybe the creepy extra-chromosome kid from “Deliverance.“ You know, something to really get people’s attention. So this is an A for Inspiration, C for Execution.
Look, I’m not a Domer. I’m just a Fighting Irish fan. Nor am I in the Notre Dame t-shirt business. But if I was, I’d go with this design:
Front:
“Ned Beatty in South Bend: ‘This is the most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen.“
Back:
“Ned Beatty in the South: ‘Weeeee!!! Weeeee!!!’“
You’re welcome. Send the royalty check to @JerryThornton1
well played jerry
BINGO!
I think you just proved how a domer will be manhandled by the south. Burt Reynolds wasn’t assraped was he? I think you just accidentally made a Bama shirt.
The South’s gonna do it again! Squeal like a pig! Wheeeee!!!!!
5 weeks between the final reg season/conf championship games and the actual title game might be the most retarded scheduling in the history of sports
The cousins are going to win by 30.
Pedophiles vs Inbreds.
A+
The way you domers have deified Rudy is pretty sad.
^no, rudy is a cunt. huge cunt in real life. we are not defiling him. fuck that guy.
Fuck, trying to get that goddamn Jared ad closed and accid hit ‘post’
More like the, Kid touchers vs
Cousins
No. Pederasty enthusiasts vs Incest enthusiasts
Fuck Notre Dame. They’re going to get run right off the field
i hate the south but i hate notre dame more
Jimmy Clausen? C’mon guy.
Big B-A-M-A spell out to the guy who knocked out that sissy nanny clausen outside a bar in South Bend after he blew it against UCLA
go get diddled by your priest Clausen
@joeybagss: I said “deify” not “defile.” I can respect his desire/determination and making the team when ND was relevant, but you’d think he went through all that and then won the Heisman with the way (most) domers kiss his ass. And the movie was basically slander against Dan Devine.
U completely made up the fredo short. And over the past 10 years BC is 6-4 vs ND suck my dick. I know u want to. Also root for a school u went to or the state your from. Not a private school in Indiana u could never get into
t12a43, so anyone from ME, RI, NH, VT, NY, CT who went to school in-state can’t be a college football fan?
Gunner, are u retarted? Every single one of those states besides Vermont and NY have d1 football programs. Uconn went to a bcs game last year
UMaine, URI, and UNH are all D1-AA (“FCS”) programs, there’s a bit of a difference like I can’t watch any of them on TV (not that I’d want to)… Uconn’s a fucking joke and they did not go to a BCS game last year that was two years ago, and BC is 4-4 against the Irish over the past ten years not 6-4, the two teams didn’t play in ’05 or ’06… I was going to let that one slide but given that you are making factual errors that even a “retart” can identify I figured what the hell.
Sorry 6-4 the last ten times they played and jus got surgery. Pain killers fuck my spelling. And yes your right I meant you are a retard. Thank you for letting me
Clarify
Gunner: You might want to look at more game film and show a bit more in practice so you can actually make the trips on the plane next year when Notre Dame travels.
Having said that, as a graduate of Notre Dame who had to endear all of the Ty Willingham years, it’s great to be relevant again and back to the world hating us. ( I feel like a Yankee fan)
One more thing…you can’t spell scum without UM.
sorry to hear about your surgery, remember that when you’re taking painkillers don’t drink, operate heavy machinery, or think too hard. And ndboston, I agree the Willingham years were tough times to endure for people who didn’t just start rooting for the team two weeks ago, luckily you don’t strike me as one of those people… Congrats on your degree though, the barstool community is very proud of you.
great ned beatty references
