I sent MOrr an email regarding how much I dislike the mascot since it does not represent a Gael.  We need a live person like Notre Dame Irish guy.  That person could lead the crowd in old school cheers.  
'77 Welcome to the Gael Nation party. Where 'ya been, brother from another mother?  We have some very deep and old threads regarding this constant tug and pull.  Forget the leprechaun - think Braveheart and the kilted warrior with proper attire with a little movie license.  Cheer leaders - requires another whole cultural shift for that to be "cool" at your son's/daughter's Saint Mary's version 2012. 

We try our best from the alumni side of things but it takes support from the AD... and money/scholarship stipends to get kids attention. Happy to discuss in depth. MJ '87  See you at our reunion this summer?
