We are fighting Irish, that is to say, we are fighting Irish soldiers. Background: Notre Dame football team.
For 8 0 years, the University of Notre Dame football team in central Indiana has dominated the American college football field. In every corner of the country, this team, which is famous for its golden helmet, is regarded as a holy place by college football fans.
Known as the "Irish Warriors", the connection between Notre Dame football team and its fans is incomprehensible to ordinary people. The team went deep into the hinterland of northern Indiana and belonged to a Catholic university; But their fans are all over the United States, even beyond the so-called national boundaries. This connection is real and unshakable. Many teams are considered as representatives of the American team, from the dallas cowboys team in performance time to the Lakers team, to the Duke University basketball team, and then to the University of Michigan basketball team in the Five Tigers period. It can be said that any team that has won the championship ring, has some fixed markets and has a particularly eye-catching jersey color has been crowned as the "American team". However, only the new york Yankees and Notre Dame football team can truly represent the spirit of the American team. In American sports, the Notre Dame football team can be said to be unique and unparalleled.
Always reborn in adversity, this is precisely the greatest charm of Notre Dame football team. Yes, Irish warriors will experience lows, but they will never forget them in the quagmire. Ella Passagian led the team to win the National College League Championship twice with 1966 and 1973. The victory of 1966 ended the team's championship dry season in 17. When coach Jerry Foster was unable to lead the team forward, Lo holz appeared at the right time and won the long-lost championship for the team again with 1988. Notre Dame fans will always have a belief that as long as this team promises that they will return to the top, they will certainly realize this promise.
1923-1946 It was an era when Notre Dame University and West Point Military Academy competed with each other, and the confrontation between the two schools became a major event in American sports. It was at that time that the parents and grandparents of today's young people cultivated their feelings for "Irish Warriors", which not only originated from victory, but also from religion, and perhaps more importantly, from a belief that "Irish Warriors" is not only a football team, but also a symbol of a team with brilliant skills and tactics and strict discipline.
