Auburn and Oregon both share an Irish heritage

living in Az.,we welcome these 2 great teams. Even though Oregon beat our Tucson Univ. of Az--we still will root for our conference team U of Oregon.We lift a jar to the best of the Irish."Slainte"! We are proud to have both teams in our desert country--but we'll say,"Give 'em the divel,chip me lad".

One could find an Irish heritage in almost everywhere in America. Menlo Park CA was founded by two brothers from the village of Menlo Park, just north of Galway city for example. Hard to find anywhere in America that the Irish have not influenced in one way or another; then again, the same could be said of other ethnic groups since the US is a country of immigrants.

So, Roll Tide, Go Navy! and Go Irish!

Two more words: Roll Tide! Go Navy! Go Irish!...see, 2 words but I repeat myself;)

With as many Irish and their descendants as live in the USA, you could probably make a case like this for BYU and USC. Having said that, it should be pointed out that Birmingham and the steel mills saw many Irish move down from New York...the mines did the same thing. Alabama had farmers and share croppers, what it needed were industrial strength workers in their new booming economy.

Two words...Roll Tide
