Why is this comment section giving their band so much shit just bc they aren’t playing while marching in or Bc they aren’t wearing Irish clothing, but does it really matter. And Ik all they do is yell “here come the Irish” but it’s still a cool thing to watch. I think we should appreciate what they are doing bc not only have they got the talent to play an instrument but Bc the band is a huge part of the football experience. (This is just my opinion I’m not trying to offend anyone by saying this)

Irish Guards only the pipers wear kilts snd they wear caubeens as headdress , normal band members and guards wear bearskins red tunics and tweeds , this is closer to Scottish Highkander / regiments of foot dress albeit the pipers also don’t wear busbys / bearskin like not to mention the tartan is neither an irish or scottish tartan

Why do they think they're Irish ?

[@thomassherer5962]

Founded in 1842 by an Order of French religious priests, brothers, and nuns (St Mary's College is on West side of US 31. ND on the East.) There are 2 lakes on the property, so they named the college they were there to create, Notre Dame du Lac (Our Lady of the Lake) after the Jewish boy's mother. Why French? This area and Indiana was "discovered" by De La Salle in 1679. So only 16 years into Statehood, Indiana still had a large French ownership & population. Then the Frenchies evolved into The Fighting Irish after UMers taught the ND Lads the game of Football in Nov 1887.
