After winning the national collegiate football championship game with Oregon, the Auburn coach exclaimed on national TV: “God was with us.”
WATCHDOG: Over a lunchtime discussion of the game, the Watchdog asked his companions whether the coach was implying that God was not with Oregon. For some, such a statement could be interpreted as blasphemy.
A good Catholic lady among them ended the theological exploration by chirping up: “We all know that God roots for Notre Dame! ”
Good for her on the amusing quip. But on a cheeky note, if what she said is true than Notre Dame’s football program would be MUCH better than it is and heading back to its glory days.
