And GP, at least it is "the Fighting Irish" and not "The Ticked Micks", I bet you'd like that better 
My favorite mascot forever will be Guilford College's Fighting Quakers. I'd like to see them take on Pacific Lutherans Lutes. The battle between the people who had a German monk riling up Rome, and the people in the black hats fleeing to the New World.
It's ON!!!!
P.S. Kitso Augsburg College in Minneapolis was founded before A&M they use maroon and go by the Auggies. Good thing we're peaceful folks and didn't come down to College Station and try and discuss it over coffee (I am just teasing ya it is a term for a baby eagle, which they use as a mascot).

Are you providing a summary or attempting to make a sarcastic point?
It's hard to tell with GCers these days......
