This proposal is outstanding.  I can’t believe they shot this down.  What’s not to like?!  I’d be in for this.  Again, this is as much about dollars as it is about fan experience.  And it’s as much about building and maintaining an extended community and institutional identity as it is about putting fans in the seats.  This is a natural extension of the old Gael Force.  Guys coming together to literally and figuratively put their money where their mouths are and “pay the piper.”  Great slogan btw.  These are the guys who year after year extend the life of the college beyond the 4 years and beyond the hallowed halls.  And they train the next ones coming out.  Not every alumni is going to be so dedicated but a few can have huge and lasting positive impacts.

 

I’m curious about mythology and I’ve never come across Fear Dearg!  Big oversight.  He’s perfect!  Not as a mascot per say but as a leader of a merry band of pranksters for sure.  This guy is the model of old Gael Force alumni!  Plus many of our alumni already look like him!

Sometimes he would come in to warm himself by a person's fire and if the people of the house raised no objections to him they prospered, but if any said any words against him bad luck happened to that person.
