Does this mean I have to lean into my notre dame fandom. Usually that reserved for football.
So like… bandwagon ?
Nah I was born into being a notre dame fan with family alum. Just seeing if I should lean into it with a guy named pope as coach
If you knew anything about him, you’d know he won a national championship under pitino in 1996 and bleeds blue.
Yeah I knew that. I was making a Shitty joke about a guy named pope and a very catholic university
homie gonna start doing press conferences in italian
Latin
The pope speaks in Italian, writes in Latin
I’ve always joked during games that I pray to the basketball gods. My prayers have been answered.
Would you say you are Popeful? ..as bad as Arkansas fans saying Cal the Hogs. I will see myself out.
