Obama Doesn’t Like Short Term Prospects For ND Football

Now here’s something Obama has said recently that we at HLS can debate!

After giving the commencement speech at Notre Dame, Obama spoke at an Indianapolis fundraiser Sunday evening for the Democratic National Committee. He began his remarks by joking that he told university President Rev. John Jenkins that the controversy surrounding his appearance on campus “paled in comparison to what to do about the football team.”

The football team has posted records of 3-9 and 7-6 the past two seasons, the most losses in a two-year period ever for the Fighting Irish, who haven’t won a national championship since 1988.

“That’s an issue we may not resolve within my four years,” Obama joked.

“Eight,” shouted someone from the audience.

“All right, well, maybe in eight we might get it done,” Obama said.

That would mean at least 5 more seasons before most ND fans would be happy with the performance of ND football. Oh dear. That’s, what, 2 more head coaches?

Once again, big O proves how much he DOESN’T know when trying to sound smart.

i think he was trying to sound funny rather than smart. and if you’re not an ND fan, it’s not a bad joke, even though it’s pretty predictable. as an ND fan, i will say SUCK IT when we go 10-2 this year, and are in the NC hunt in <2 years!
