Comments on: Notes from the Geetar: Get the Red Out https://dev.ndnation.com/notes-from-the-geetar-get-the-red-out/ The Independent Voice of Notre Dame Athletics Mon, 09 Dec 2019 13:23:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: domer262 https://dev.ndnation.com/notes-from-the-geetar-get-the-red-out/#comment-24147 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 15:10:03 +0000 https://dev.ndnation.com/?p=48483#comment-24147 In reply to Tim.

It was not so easy. I went with YouTube TV and could only get it on my laptop, not my regular TV. I have a projector and screen and a whole litany of cords and got to watch the game, but Xfinity should have the ACC Network. I waited for an Xfinity agent to call me back about trying to hook up to my tv and no one ever called me back. I am glad ND won, but it was not easy trying to stream on my regular TV. GO IRISH, Beat Navy!

PS

Still would have been nice if ND would have played the game in basketball arena on big screen to promote community.

We started out with the four claps, then two claps after the second line and one after the third.
And it’s no nay never (clap, clap, clap, clap)
No nay never no more (clap,clap)
Will we lose to Blue Devils (clap)
No never no more.

Even Tennessee who has made a few trips to South Bend travels very well. The almighty dollar speaks, not just to the University, but ticket holders as well.
As far as a color, bouncing between blue and green over the years for nothing more than merchandising has created this mess along with the “Shamrock Series Shirt/Jersey”.
The University in its infinite wisdom will pick gold as the color since there are so many blues and greens out there. I don’t blame them, more fans will buy gold shirts as a majority of fans have blue and/or green, might as well grab another buck or two in this process.

Until something changes there, nothing Inor anyone else does will make a difference.

I always thought The Pogues, Body of an American, would be a good song for ND. You may remember it from that show The Wire. It is about an Irish American boxer who beat the hell out of everyone and returns to Ireland to be buried. . . .I think. Regardless, it gets my Irish American blood pumping and ready to rumble. I have to imagine a crowd singing “I’m a free born man of the USA!” would be fun:

The cadillac stood by the house/And the yanks they were within/And the tinker boys they hissed advice/’Hot-wire her with a pin’/Then we turned and shook as we had a look/In the room where the dead men lay/So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip/To the shores where his father’s laid

But fifteen minutes later/We had our first taste of whiskey/There was uncles giving lectures/On ancient Irish history/The men all started telling jokes/And the women they got frisky/By five o’clock in the evening/Every bastard there was piskey

Fare thee well, going away/There’s nothing left to say/Farewell to New York City boys, to Boston and PA
He took them out with a well-aimed clout/And we often heard him say/I’m a free-born man of the USA

He fought the champ in Pittsburgh/And he slashed him to the ground/He took on Tiny Tartanella/And it only went one round/He never had no time for reds/For drink or dice or whores/And he never threw a fight until the fight was right/So they sent him to the war

Fare the well, gone away/There’s nothing left to say/With a slainte Joe and Erin go/My love’s in Ameri-kay/The calling of the rosary/Spanish wine from far away/I’m a free born man of the USA

This morning on the harbour/When I said goodbye to you/I remember how I swore/That I’d come back to you one day/And as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill/I told you I’d always love you/I always did and I always will

Fare thee well gone away/There’s nothing left to say/’But to say adieu to your eyes as blue as the water in the bay/And to big Jim Dwyer the man of war/Who was often heard to say/I’m a free born man of the USA/I’m a free born man of the USA/I’m a free born man of the USA

(And I’m an old fart, just not stodgy) I was at Ann Arbor and the entire place stood for the whole game. Maybe if our fans didn’t average 57 years old we might have a little more noise and rowdiness in the stands.

Don’t have a practical suggestion to police this, but profitable treachery sans consequences breeds more treachery.

Since nobody else has (yet), here are some Wild Rover lyric suggestions (game day/home game specific):

Verse: Our Irish Have Kicked Butt For Many a Year/And We’ve Toasted Their Triumphs With Whiskey and Beer/ When This Game Is Over, We’ll Toast Them Again/ ‘Cause There’s No Way The Second-Best Team’s Gonna Win

Chorus: And It’s No, Nay Never/No Nay Never No More/ No You Won’t Beat The Irish/ No Never No More!

Verse 2: We Never Give Up and We Never Give In/ And If One of Ours Falls, We Just Say ‘Next Man In’/ We’re Irish Forever, Don’t Get In Our Way/ Or We’ll shake Down The Thunder and Blow You Away!

Chorus: And It’s No Nay Never/ No Nay Never No More / No You Won’t Beat the Irish/ No Never No More!

With the Duke game not being able to be viewed this Saturday, along with future Men’s and
Women’s basketball games! I told them I am totally disappointed, disgusted and upset. Just this morning I started a trial subscription to Sling TV (just so I can watch the game) So, Comcast is in jeopardy of losing a long term customer!
My vote is GREEN also!!!
BTW… purchase tickets through VividSeats for the ND – Penn State hockey game January 31st… COST ME $100/pc.

Go Irish
