I see your point and I wasn't calling you out as a ranty. But other people were calling for mass emails and talking about withholding funds. So I spoke up.
Everybody is entitled to their own take, but my reaction is what in the hell are you guys talking about with “The Fear Dearg.” And I'm pretty sure that was their reaction. Even at this point, I don't know what it is, it's confusing, it sounds weird, and I have a hard enough time explaining to my friends what a Gael is. I wear Gael gear to every game, but you won't see me in a Dearg shirt. I say this not to be a prick or offend, but again I'm trying to explain how others might view it.
But if it floats your boat, make some T-shirts. Maybe it catches on. The best traditions are organic and slowly grow over time. I don't get why the school has to push it or make it offical. If I hadn't read this, and I got a flyer about The Fear Dearg and asked to join, I pass. And I'm a pretty die hard fan.
And if I'm the compliance office, I wouldn't be telling the school to formally do something with a new alum group that I don't have the time and resources to properly oversee. If it's a cool idea, just do it. Nobody asked the school if they could wear the rugby gear. And that's pretty of cool.
The school already provides a decent number of events and the tip off club. I don't think they need to have an offical alum rooting club. That's basically what this blog is.
That's my .02
